Best soles in Seoul,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The benefits of a high-quality shoe are both tangible and necessary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not only for style,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also for longevity and health,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says Reto Zimmermann, owner of Cheongdam-dong classic gentlemen's shoe shop Zimmermann Kim.
"Good shoes are made from natural materials inside and out," he says. The natural leathers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dyes and glues offer better "breathability" for the foot, which make for a better "foot climate" and "better feeling."
The proprietor's passion for well-made shoes beats Carrie Bradshaw's hands-down; the former consultant quit his job at a high-profile management consulting firm in Switzerland last year to open Zimmermann Kim in Seoul with his wife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ji-Yoon Kim.
Zimmermann initially noted the lack of quality soles for men in Seoul when he accompanied his wife on holiday trips here after the pair met in Germany when they were students,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"There seemed to be almost no good shoes around for men, and the few that we could find were hugely overpriced compared to Europe and often not available in sizes only slightly above the Korean average,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Zimmermann, on why he decided to open his store.
World's best
Reto Zimmermann quit his consulting job to open high-end European shoe store Zimmermann Kim with his wife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ji-Yoon Kim. Zimmermann Kim carries men's shoes from two independent European shoemakers, Gaziano Girling and Vass.
According to the owners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these brands are the best in the world.
Owning such classic shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says Zimmermann, is like owning "a piece of history." The centuries-old shoemaking heritage "represents a history and tradition … a time when our clothes were made by artisans to the highest level of craftsmanship."
Seoul fashion bloggers and connoisseurs seem to agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as they have been flocking to the store since its opening, despite the store's hefty prices. And while many would balk at paying around ₩1 million ($940) for a pair of shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Zimmermann insists that other shoes of comparable or even inferior quality are sold at twice his prices,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially from brands owned by luxury conglomerates.
"We want to have fair prices, which reflect our products' quality and honesty," he says. "Sometimes customers don't know this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and ask for big discounts … like at a department store where everything is marked-up by about 50 percent and then 'graciously' discounted 10 percent."
