Place of origin

This pair of shoes from Prada is an excellent example of the current trend for embellished and colourful men's shoes. Men are starting to add to their traditional and uniform shoe wardrobe with more cutting edge and statement footwear - perhaps reflecting the metrosexual influence on men's shopping and appearance.
