Mario D’Boro shoes – cheap but elegant

by · September 12, 2007

About a week ago, I finally broke one of my office leather shoes – thanks to Typhoon Egay which really had my shoes sip around 2 gallons of water resulting into a complete disaster!

So finally my shoe was no longer usable so I suddenly had to rush to buy one over the weekend for a replacement. And since I am trying to save-up for a gadget, I was looking for something that will replace my old shoes for the time being. I was basically looking for a leather shoe that is inexpensive but still, stylish and elegant-looking.

I came across Mario D’Boro and I completely found what I was looking for:

I initially thought it would cost more than 2,000 Pesos but surprisingly, it wasn’t even that expensive at all! I was stunned to find that it carries a price tag of only 1,100 Pesos! A price which is perfect to not ruin my budget…

However, since it is my first time to buy a shoe from this brand, the durability is yet to be tested. (Anyone care to comment?) I just hope that this shoe lasts long enough. Though it’s cheap, I really like it!


So if you are also trying to save-up and looking for a cheap but elegant leather shoe, try Mario D’Boro. Their product line is one of the least-pricey you could see around. :D

    Hi Chris, I like the style it’s very classy. What’s their smallest size and where can you purchase it? I’d appreciate the info.

    Tried it! Haha! When I was in highschool, syempre yearly nsgpapalit ng shoes e nagastos ko money pangbili nun so naaghanap ako ng mura but a looker and I found Mario D’Boro, been using it since 4th year highschool hanggang before mag 2nd yr. college, roughly 2 years more or less, okie sya, unless gamitin mo sya sa marathon! Hehe… :0)

    kiro – i think their smallest is a size 6 (Philippine size). It’s at SM Department STore.

    marky – yep it’s stylish but not really sure of the durability yet. musta na? how’s school going by the way?

    I just bought a pair at Landmark yesterday. Very affordable and stylish. I was thinking of buying Rusty Lopez, Jarman or Rockport but my budget was not enough.

    Well, I am a user of Mario D’ Boro shoes and you are definitely right when you said that it’s cheap and elegant. I bought mine (ladies shoes white sequins and all) and its so durable- why? mabigat kasi ang paa ko so i tend to easily break my shoes pero eto hindi e. From the looks kasi ng shoes ko e parang fragile siya, pero aba! Ang tagal bago masira. So happy naman ako, I didn’t expect my shoes to last this long (been using it for more than a year everyday). So I definitely recommend this brand. Go! <3

    I used one before and it last for almost 1 year and half. I always wear since our office requires corporate attire and it never failed me. Stylish, sheap and durable. It’s worth it!

    I could really afford the expensive shoes. Lacoste, Sebago, Rockport, others.

    But I discovered MARIO D BORO shoes. STYLISH! CHEAP! DURABLE PA!

    Instead of buying a Lacoste for 4 thousand plus I settled for 4
