It's an Italian order for Italian policewomen, ordered in Romania

Why Italians order shows in Romanie, when we in Italy have great shoemakers?? Who really knows?

Maybe... for the price

Maybe... for some "tangente"

Yes, I feel the same, it is a shame. A few weeks I went to a Benetton store in Paris and noticed that the boots, shoes and all the leather clothes were made in Romania or even Bosnia!... Last spring I went to the Ventimiglia market and discussed the topic with a shoe saler : she told me that less and less "made in Italy" shoes were sold, even in her country, and that they have a hard time resisting the concurrence of such countries, like Romania or China. The only chance of the italian shoemarket to resist this challenge, is to continue to emphasize quality... and to settle for bigger "tangente"...

I want to introduce myself briefly. I am a french guy with an interest for knee-high boots, and most high-heeled footwears. I have registered to have access to the pictures, and maybe post a few comments...
