Default Re: Not Allowed to Enter at The Aviation Club in Paris because of my S

[ QUOTE ]
Today I went to the aviation club and the guy at the reception didn't allow me to enter because of my shoes. My shoes are a $300 Mephisto (made in France) which are very nice and I wear proudly. Have anybody experienced something similar and so ridiculous like this in Paris?

Yep, just went to mephisto.com, and those sure are some "ugly-*** shoes" (quote inspired by OJ Simpson). I'm sure that for $300 they feel great, but it's just the wrong style for an upscale place.

Think of it this way - a dump truck is a pretty expensive special-purpose vehicle, but the valet at the Four Seasons won't want to touch it!
