I don't know about "impressive" but when you purchase good shoes then you get to wear them not just for years but decades. Since many of the designs of our shoes date from from the 19th (Derby, modern brogues) and 18th (such as the Blucher) centuries--- some even older such as court shoes (these days sold less to men as to women as so-called "pumps")--- its not that they go out of style. While a pair of handmade grade shoes costs many times over the price a pair of lesser grade "fashion shoes" their cost amortized over their period of use make them the better deal!
