I got a pair of shoes for my birthday from my brother this year. They are Dursen brand shoes which I had never heard of. I’ve lived in Chicago forever and I’m a big shoe guy, so I was really surprised I never heard of these shoes or this store. I asked my brother about them and all he said was that he came across the store one day in Wicker Park and he bought a pair of shoes for work. I needed to know more about the store and the brand and I’ll get to what I learned. First let me tell you about the shoes I was given. The shoe is called the Ace and it’s a wing tip oxford in a light brown, kind of caramel color. The leather-work was really nice looking and the soles where thicker than normal and made of a really flexible material. These thick soles are very on trend but I’ve never seen them made in such a flexible material. Now, I didn’t wear them right away because I wasn’t in love with the color. My brother mentioned that they were available in different colors so I decided to exchange them. Before going to the store I read online that Dursen, as a brand, has been around for years and has been very popular in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The US is always behind on fashion, but the brand has made its appearance here now. I went to the store in Wicker Park and I really had a great experience. The store was really cool and modern. Very Wicker Park-ish, if you know what I mean. The staff was really knowledgeable and helpful from the beginning. They explained the philosophy of the brand how to navigate the store. It’s simple to explain because it’s very simple. There are four collections: Signature, Dapper, Adventurous and Frosty. They are classic, fashionable, comfortable and warm respectively. So depending on what you’re looking for, you just go to that collection. My shoes was part of the adventurous collection, which doesn’t surprise me because that’s what my brother cares about: a comfortable shoe. I typically look for a more fashionable shoe over comfort but these adventurous shoes are all very stylish but are also very, very comfortable. I changed my brown shoes for a gray. They’re so comfy and good looking that I wear them almost every day. On another note, the Frosty collection was still not available when I was there but I can’t wait to see them. It’s their winter boot collection and I have to say it’s refreshing to see. They were really, really cool looking boots. Surprisingly, they are also lined with natural fur and completely waterproof. I usually have to wear nice boots that offer no warmth or ugly boots that provide warmth and comfort. I can’t wait to get both with the frosty collection. There will be an online store soon, so stay tuned!
