Charles David Shoes in Spain?
 
Since Charles David shoes are "Made in Spain"-does anyone know if they are cheaper there? Or if there is an outlet/factory store? We will be in Madrid and then Southern Spain.

Dear Klbrito,

those shoes are unknown in Spain, and I don't think you will be able to find them.

But you might like to check some of the spanish brands, like Farrutx, Hispanitas, Ursula Mascaró (and Jaime Mascaró, the more classical line) and many more ...

Cova is perfectly right.

Charles David is an American company that has its shoes made in Spain and Italy, because they can have better shoes made for less in those countries than in the U.S.

The shoes will not be for sale in those countries.

Those are dangerous sites!!!

Hi Marlis,

if you find them dangerous, you haven't been to Augusto Figueroa street, right in the middle of the Chueca district in Madrid. Lots of shoe shops, many of them selling amazing shoes from last season or belonging to the different brands shows (if you are a 37 size, you will be luckier ...)

Thanks! I will look for the others you recommended. Are the prices half way decent?
