The design of the shoes is generally successful, and the general quality-price ratio is good , both in terms of leather and finishes.
We recommend this brand to small budgets who want to try a pair of shoes with a slightly original but still very sober design!
Update 01/31/20: Since this sheet was written in 2016, the market has now changed significantly. In view of the many more than mixed feedback from our readers, and a strong evolution of the editorial knowledge in the matter of shoes since, we are amending our opinion: the shoes are certainly quite inexpensive (140-160€ ), but the value for money is simply very poor when compared to other more recent players, whose product focuses more on more competitive quality. The sale price (easily 50%) becomes quite reasonable, but expect to receive exactly what you pay for: you cannot expect a leather dress shoe for less than €100 to be of high quality reliable (assembly, durability, comfort, quality of leather, shapes, designs, etc.) Moreover, beyond considerations of durability, the designs will not deceive even the eye of a newly initiated enthusiast: the shoes "look cheap", and they are.Kost is a young shoe brand created in 2009 . She draws her experience from working with other major shoe brands like Redskins and Azzaro. This allows it to have a wide range of designs and well-amortized production costs.
The majority of pairs are manufactured in France, benefiting from proximity to the production workshops and better control.
The brand is positioned at the entry level and offers very diverse models: while some are effective choices for small budgets, other designs may prove to be of more questionable taste.
