Razzle,
No there are other places, but the Clownmart shoes are a great place to start for real leather shoes.
The biggest drawback to the vinyl is they wear out really fast. Eyelets pull out, seams start tearing, they just don't last. also they are very hard on your feet. If you have small feet, you might be able to get a pair of shoes inside them.
I guess, I would say, save your money and get a pair. Nettie Belle, Jitterbug and Shoq, all have them. They are a really great,shoe for a reasonable price. Ask Fitz how much his cost him. The Spears, Jolly walkers, Clownsoports, Cherokee, and Billy Prince shoes are great. And are custom made to fit your feet. The Clown marts aren't. You lace then tightly around your ankles and they fit quite well. Mine are the same way. I do put a pair of Gel cushion insoles in mine (Flat feet) But, I have worn mine for four years now, Nothing has fallen apart, They are comfy, and are a far cry from needing resoled. BTW, the Clown mart shoes can be resoled! I just would spend the money for a good set of intermediate shoes rather than spend twenty bucks a pop on something that you will wear out very quickly.
My 2 cents,
Scruffy
