    Portuguese shoes for farmers. Sold on the local market, cheap, solid - or overpriced and rebranded in stores all over Europe. You get them in several levels of fancy, starts at 25€ a pair.

      Can you show an example of those? I’m going to Portugal soon and would like to buy new shoes while I’m there.

        At one point, in the early 2000s, there was a city in Portugal with a really high ratio of Ferrari cars per habitant. All because of a few owners of shoes factories. 😄
