Actually think dress shoes are a place where spending 300 dollars on well made shoes saves you money in the long run as they can last you a lifetime if taken care of. Would suggest Allen Edmonds which you can get for around 300. Lots of other great brands but those are good entry level shoes made really well (and in the good old USA).
You wife bones you but you look like a guy wearing $70 shoes. You can tell the difference
You have to spend more than 100, unless you find a really great deal. Keep an eye out on Reddit or slickdeals or similar, be patient and you can get nice dress shoes for about $200. Know your size, be ready when the sales are on.
Yes...with the warning of making sure they have quality soles.
You'll need to look on eBay, or check discount stores. Find something marked down crazy.
Nordstroms sales were great for Cole Haan . I used to love Cole Haan but they went downhill after Nike bought them. Haven't tried them since Nike sold them.
Have had some I love and some that wore fast and fell apart. For an everyday /casualwork/office shoe they are very good. Not crazy about them as a dress shoe
I know you don't want to break the bank...but Allen Edmonds. Currently on sale through Sept. 5. Most popular styles are Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Strand, and McAllister. When they get worn out you can have them recrafted for $125.
Just trying to point him in a more specific direction vs just checking ebay or discount stores for something discounted like crazy. I wouldn't buy em either. Sheesh.
Cole Haans are pretty crappy shoes at this point. You are buying name/style and they won't last long.
They do have a pair of cobbler union shoes on the list and I have a pair of them and think they are great. Only had them six months or so and seem to be holding together well.
Sorry, man. Was trying to be more funny than nasty.
Can you recommend him some good tighty-whiteys and the best early bird specials in the greater Orlando area?
I have a pair of $500 Italian dress shoes, they aren't all that comfortable and I walk a lot at work. He wanted shoes under $100, those are the best out there IMO.
I don't know why my casual shoes break down so much faster.
All good. I used to go through $100 shoes in 6-8 months. Being an older out of fashion touch guy, didn't know the first place to start (cargo shorts are still lefit, right?). Thank god for the innerwebs.
Next time you are in London pickup a pair of proper Crockett & Jones .
I have more of an issue getting rid of ladies than getting them, is there a shoe for that?
Pro tip: Ecco will replace for a good amount of time based on normal wear and tear. Their repairs are also high quality.Have had some I love and some that wore fast and fell apart. For an everyday /casualwork/office shoe they are very good. Not crazy about them as a dress shoe
I agree. Bostonians have always been great shoes for me. I'm surprised Johnston & Murphy hasn't been mentioned yet.
IMO brown shoes only look like crap with dark pants if your belt and socks don't match the shoes. Agree though that everyone should have a nice pair of black shoes.
Good point. I wear a lot of grays and dark blues though and I don't like mixing brown in, especially with gray. Gotta match belt and shoes though, I lived in Italy long enough to know that!
Think Loake makes many of the Charles tyrwhitt shoes but would recommending going to source as think some tyrwhitt shoes are not up to the quality of others.
I bought a pair of Cole Haans almost four years ago and have had good luck. Have had the soles and heels redone twice. I wear them at least four days a week. I spent about 225 if I recall correctly and have put another 100 into them. At the rate they are going, I will grow tired of them before they wear out.
