Quality Dress Shoes

almost every brand offers an oxford style model w/ a wider last and roomier upper

in fact i just looked allen edmonds website for the first time in my life and found a couple in the 1st 7 seconds:

Another vote for Ferragamo.

I use their belt and dress shoes and they are going strong.

 

For you guys who wouldn't dare even think about buying shoes $100+.

you really cant go wrong with any of ferragamos leather ware... quality all the way around. most of my dress shoes are bruno magli and mezlan, mezlan being the more inexpensive of the two but quality nonetheless.

brioni makes a gorgeous wingtip that i would love to get my hands on but i'm not quite at the point where i can throw $1,600 on a pair of shoes, particularly if they aren't bespoke.

 

Reviving this thread for shoe recommendations. I'm starting a new job next month and I'm looking to spend about 150 per pair and looking for some good starter quality dress shoes. What should I be looking for when buying dress shoes?

 

I received an email from Allen Edmonds today about their clearance items. You should check the out. They have quite a few shoes around $200 which is slightly higher than your budget but WELL worth it. I think I have 7 pairs of AE and love them all. Great, great shoes.

Cork insole ftw:grin:

 

Have to concur, your foot grows into them like cowboy boots.

 

I could easily buy about 5 more pairs if I wanted to part with about $2k. My next house will be able to handle my upgrade in wardrobe and shoes.

 

If you want a raise, you NEED these bro!

This.

 

lol. no.

 

Does anybody have any experience with the Martin Dingman brand? Seems like a smaller operation, but I've read good things about it from various clothing blogs I look at so I was thinking I might take a shot at a pair.

 

try mezlan.....they typically run nice and wide
