<p>To all those handsome gentleman who take pride in their shoes or just want to impress, <a href="http://www.bettaninshoes.com/en/storia00.html">Bettanin Venturi</a> Italian hand made leather shoes are sure to make a statement. The intricate detail of the stitching are a result of true craftsmanship from ancient traditions known as Norvegese (Norwegian) construction. With only around 5 pairs made per day, and upholding a commitment to be, "updated with today's taste," Bettanins are of the highest quality you can find.</p>
<p>While most men may not lust over shoes as women do, it may suffice to say that Bettanins are in a class of their own; to be respected with the same degree of admiration as <a href="http://www.manoloblahnik.com/">Manolo Blahniks</a> are for countless women. Known to be the shoe of choice for Arnold Schwarzenegger and seen on men such as Jeremy Piven, they are a true delight for any man's soles.</p>
<p>In rich leather hues, classic brown and black leather may be the most versatile and suitable for any occasion but if you are a bid edgier, green and blue are surely eye catching. Whichever color you desire, you will be taken seriously in these shoes.</p>

<p>I would deem them sexy on a man either paired with a suit or jeans. Yes, they come at a high price and I can't promise you equity but if you can spare the $1,395 they are a true investment in style.</p>
<p>Rugged but luxurious, these shoes are timeless.</p>
