Default Limited Edition Lexus Shoes By Walsh

Last October, UK shoe maker Walsh offered handmade leather shoes licensed by Lexus. The order window was only about a month, ended in early November. I was one of the few people who actually ordered them. I received them this February and was very impressed with the quality. After I received them I contacted Walsh to see if by chance they made more than what was ordered. Unfortunately they only made as many as were special ordered. I also asked them what was the final production figures for the handmade shoes. Very limited, only 36 pairs were made! By chance, did any other Club Lexus member order a pair? Now do I wear them because they are so rare?

Lexus is really behind the times! I took this picture in 2002, although the Lexus shoes look like they are lot better quality footwear.



Curious, how much did the Lexus shoes end up costing? I've never heard of Walsh.

a tag attached to a shoelace has a Lexus logo. Would anyone really be that tacky? So do they make other car cos. too, like Ferrari?

This made me remember something. I test drove the new BMW 7 must have been 2008. We were given gift cards for Thomas Pink. Put it this way, the gift card was 3 figures, and there was nothing we could buy with it. That's tacky.

Hanging on in quiet desperation, is the.....

Cool looking shoes to match ones F-Sport, but I agree the 'tag' looks tacky.

My wife was disappointed that Payless just went out of business, I was quite surprised. I thought she was of the upper crust of our society lol (I do say that when I get irritated, you can't take some of those mannerisms away from a person when they were exposed to that from age 0 through 22 or 25)

Lol people just talking out the **** left and right here.

Lexus leather and upholstery used, inspired by the CT, which this shoe was more or less a promotion for.
