I have always bought metro shoes because I am addicted to some of their styles. I can always reach a metro out let at a short driving distance either form my place of work or residence ( I live in Mumbai). I always went back to metro shoes whenever I wanted to buy myself a pair. I find that they last more than most other branded shoes and they have a wide variety to choose from ( At least for the women, I dont know about their mens section). I also feel they are reasonably prices considering their durability. They last just enough. After all you dont want them to last forever . You want to change your shoe style every once in a while. They last long enough to give your moneys worth. What I dont like about them is that they pull out designs out of their shelves too soon. You grow to like a particular style and the next time you go there it is not in stock any more.
