Dressing Better Vol 2.0

It's because your online persona is not likable.

Stop being so sensitive and maybe you'll get more support.

Lulz wot?

Any ideas where I can find a walnut or reddish walnut pair for under 150$?

Thanks for the help and suggestions

I know you said under $150 but if you dont mind spending like an extra $100 for a much better shoe the Allen Edmonds are on sale through Oct 15th.

These in snuff suede are running for $200:

And then there are these for $150 but I cannot vouch for rubber soled AE's. Never owned a pair:

My suggestion is to email [email protected]
Ask for their second's list in your size/width and go through the models until you find one you like in your price range. This is the seconds/outlet quality shoes but are still made amazingly. I own around 7 pairs of seconds models myself.

I know its $100 more than what you quoted but the fifth ave is up for a great price right now. I would suggest these:

Bourbon or walnut are both awesome. I have the brooks brothers versions myself in walnut.

These look perfect.


Gonna just probably bite the bullet and grab a pair of these if after emailimg it's not cheaper through factory seconds.

What's more versatile in the long run? I work in loan dept of a private bank so I wear business casual. I like both colors you suggested. Walnut and bourbon. This is gonna be tough

Thanks for all the suggestions broseph.

239 for those? EASY PASS

 

[Betonblck]

239 for those? EASY PASS

You have any better suggestions in that price range? Serious question cause I was planning on getting them when I get a chance to go to the AE store.

You bought a polo cuz Nas wore it and went on a witch hunt for it, though.

 

[soleasian]

239 is decent for the AE's
Entry level for decent dress shoes are like 300

Or maybe I like the polo because I LIKED the polo. And I looked for the polo cause I LIKED the polo.

Not a fan of any of those. You posted a bunch of bulcher (derby) models (open lace) and I think OP is looking for a pair of formal black shoes. Technically in a very formal setting the oxford (closed lacing) is a better choice than the bulcher. Don't get me wrong, I love my bulchers, but I typically wear them with dark denim on my business casual days at work. 

For very formal events, your interviews, funerals,, xmas holidays at work, the oxford is the way to go. 

With that said you cannot go wrong with a pair of AE park aves or fifth aves. They are classic. Sure, they may not be the most aggressively styled, trendy, shoes out there but these are shoes you can wear today and look great and wear 20 years from now and look great. They are timeless. Classic American style. 

For $239 the Fifth Ave is a great buy. Go for it man.

So if its Adidas it must be bad cause it ain't Nikes? Gotcha fella

ugly is ugly regardless of what brand makes it.

Brometheus, both colors are extremely versatile. It's more about coordination than anything with this stuff. These shoes will last you 10 years easily because they can be resoled.

239 is decent for the AE's

Agreed! $300esque is starting. $400-900 is middle. $1k+ is baller.

nah, is cool.....whatever this thread can help with is enough

Do it, man. I was in tears of laughter when I saw my man printed out flyers to vote for you like it was a missing cat.

 

[dahuhuhyah]

meh, you hate everything

 

[typerpinoy]

touche. but those shoes are truly hideous for $50 let alone $200

Thanks for posting them though and showing what you think are better shoes. Even if I dont agree, its good to get other ideas before making a purchase.
