    Jimmy Choo - Prada sounds stuffy

    Can I have the cash instead? If not than I would have to see them. The names mean nothing to me without style, fit and structure.

    I think this post is directed towards purchasers/wearers with a high level of brand awareness: you want to know which NAME is considered the most desirable, right?

    Ok, probably Prada if I must. Jimmy Choo sounds like a sneeze but I hear the shoes are to die for.

    have seen the Jimmy Choo......it is very nice. Prada is everywhere, I'd pick Choo until it got everywhere too.

    The one that doesn't have a huge unsightly logo plastered on it. I'm not being paid to be a walking billboard.

    I feel this way about clothes too. I won't wear blatant advertising

    I would pick Kaenon! THe optics and VA is so much better than anything I have ever seen!! I don't have to even try to sell them. I casually have the patient try them. The product sells itself! I sold a pair to a 92 year old man with macular degeneration, who could bearly see, and once he put the Kaenons on, ( with the plano lenses they came with) he was a amazed at how much better he could see. They improve contrast, and cut glare. They are pricey, between $169 to $299 for the frame with superior plano lenses. Kaenon will also put RX lenses in at their lab. Drawn back is Rx lenses can take up to 4 weeks. But quality is well worth the wait.

    Name brand alone, I would gravitate towards Jimmy. Prada makes their shoes a little on the narrow side, and they are sort of off-beat. Jimmy does sexy.
