Last weekend I wandered into Neimans and decided to try on Iowa Zeppas in sieze 35 just for the heck of it. Instead the SA came out with several boxes in size 34.5, one of which was the platform peeptoe lace-up oxford (I don't know what this is called), a pair of Simples and the Bruges The Bruges weren't displayed on the floor so I wasn't even aware that they still had that style. I love sailornep5's Bruges and was so suprised they had them in my size! I tried them on - they fit perfectly and were incredibly comfortable....I told him that I'd be back after lunch as I was running late. I kept thinking about the Bruges during lunch and decided that they were the shoe for me!
