New: Dress Shoes @ FNKY!

October 27th, 2006 at 12:39am Zarithi Federko

For all you other male fashion aficionados out there, if you are anything like me you’re always on the lookout for a good pair of shoes. Good men’s shoes are hard to come by in SL; we’ve got Fallingwater Cellardoor at Shiny Things and her gorgeous creations (which I am never without). However when it came to a dress shoe to go with a suit for a nice evening out, I’ve been hard pressed to find something I like.

I appreciate how difficult it is to hide prim lines on a creation like a shoe; to create a delicious creation with flow and sleekness is an art beyond many. However, no matter how hard it is, I am just as hard to satisfy. The more sleek and complete looking the happier I am.Shoes1_002.jpg

Just within the last few days, I finally found something that made me happy, very happy. I first stumbled across these shoes by FNKY! designer, Funk Schnook, on SLExchange. The pictures I saw there, honestly looked to good to be true, holding my breath I hurried in game to see for myself. What I found was awesome to behold, a beautiful creation by FNKY! (Fantasy City: 55, 111, 26)

Shoes1_001.jpgWhen I purchased them I found that he had also thought of function, not just design. The shoes come with three different sizes for all you difficult to fit men. He also included some simple socks just to make your life easier. At 500$L they are a little on the expensive side, but in my humble opinion, worth it.

Well, I have enjoyed my new purchase for the past few days; looking spiffy in my formal wear, and hope that this review lets you all into my little secret.

    Those look sharp, might be time to expand my dress shoes beyond the excellent YS Bostons I’ve had forever.

    And nice sunglasses! :)

    I have owned these shoes for several weeks and get compliments everytime I wear them. I only wish I had a brown pair as stylish. Any clues where I can find brown?

    Not sure of a current product that is out in brown, I will keep looking. I did talk to Funk and he told me new shoes/colors are in the works though no release date yet.
