Shoes recommendation for 15k
I am looking for high ankle shoes that are good to wear for get togethers. Not for hiking or trekking. I have very limited knowledge on shoes, so please help me out. I like some of the Nike Air Jordens and Ferrari shoes from Puma also looks good. I also like caterpillar shoes available on Amazon. Is there any other company that provides such shoes? My budget is 15-20k.
