As the boy turns into the man, there are usually a few good pieces of advice that he will be given, sometimes by a parent, sometimes by somebody else he admires or trusts.

These are likely to include things like, always play fair, always be nice to the boss’s wife (but not too nice, obviously) and always buy a good pair of shoes.

That last one is where www.berluti.com comes in.

Berluti make some of the finest and most beautiful shoes you can buy. Naturally, you do pay extra, but they are undoubtedly fine creations. In fact, you pay a lot extra, but your feet are the only point of contact you have with this little green planet, so maybe they deserve a treat now and again.

But the main reason we’re recommending this site is just how beautiful and well crafted it is. It matches the shoes for every step in its overall quality – from the elegant and engaging loading screen with its scripted percentages, to its virtual tour of the studio where the shoes are made.

If all shopping sites were like this we’d never leave the house. Or have any money. We would have amazing footwear though.
