Notice Bernie only had shoe trees in less than half of them. For shame!
Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!
Cletus: Duly noted.

Cap-toe oxford for classic/timeless. I have Johnston Murphys from the mid nineties, always looked good with a suit. Probably worn twenty times so not even broken in so can't speak to comfort, my ski boots are better. I'm sure they are not be the best, but do the trick. Like someone said don't skimp on the shoes and belt they make or break the whole package. Always store with shoe trees.

Admitted shoe hoarder here.
These are my go to- Pay $400 now, have them rebuilt for $100- last a lifetime.
This one- with red laces.
Have this pair too, but I have barely broken them in yet.
I would not classify these as comfortable until after about 3 months though. You may be able to accelerate break in somehow, but I haven't figured out a better way than to just wear them and keep them dry by only wearing them every other day.

AE has sales on “seconds” but I have yet to find the actual problem with them. Once you have your size, just reload during sales. I cycle two black cap toe Park Avenues, wear them every day during non covid and get them resolved every few years. For only social occasions, one pair should last a lifetime. As others have said, stay away from the lower priced AE stuff, not worth it

I noticed Bernie did not seem to like lace's. Probably same as me. Did not like the look when your pants hung up on the lace's.Own your fail. ~Jer~

But it’s always entertaining to ask mountain men about fashionable urban men’s wear

Download that Poshmark app and look at Frye. I’ve lucked out with some killer deals on shoes and boots.

Don't you live in Idaho? Just get a pair of Ropers and call it good. Dress up Western is so much easier. Where you want to draw the line is up to you.

yeah but only rubes go in to nordstrom's or whatever and pay full price for something. AE is so ubiquitous that it makes it easy to find deals on poshmark or similar.
for a much cheaper but still excellent quality alternative, i have a pair of john doe shoes that i love. they're goodyear welted, made in mexico, and they use the absolute highest quality leathers and materials. probably not true buy it for life, but pretty fucking close:

i get complimented all the time - this is the actual pair of shoes that i own from them on their insta. i've had them for 3 years and they're still holding up beautifully:

It's been a few years since I dabbled in the dress shoe game, but I had a few different pair of Gordon Rushes that I enjoyed. They seem to walk a nice line between dress and dress casual. I had two pair of the loafers and one pair of chukkas/ankle boots, all held up well and were comfortable. You should add 'dress' boots to your list if they aren't already being considered. Way better than some of the options being posted here
Gordon Rush.

if it were AK it would be Xtratufs
I think you need to narrow it down, ask what shoe to wear to a divorce hearing which would be different for a grandjuryLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

One thing I don't understand about this forum--with all the love for overpriced shoes, espresso machines, etc etc etc--why is everybody buying used skis that have been drilled 6 times. We're skiers right, shouldn't that be where we spend money, and scrimp on the rest? Why no love for Kastle?
