Good to hear that Gucci may have softened its views – at least about shoes market.

In 1995 – the brand illustriously declared that it didn’t like the other Shoes… that it was all “elegant boots” to you – and that corporation had never been influenced one bit by them!

Boots critic Jack Kroll immediately responded in Newsweek that this was patently absurd and that without the Gucci Shoes‘ “elegant boots” – all the bands that had followed after the Fabs – including corporation – would still be taking the stairs!
