New Shoes.

These were a wise purchase: http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=cat10089&subCatId=cat10060&skuId=042733080&productId=52995&lotId=042733&category=&catdisplayName=Mens

They're waterproof. They're lined. They're black. They're comfortable. They're boots. Thumbs way up.

Did not see this.

Got them here: http://www.soulashoes.com/

They often seem to carry individual shoe models I can't find online.

xp thx dude!

i dont get mad amon

i get even

The Campers have worked out great although they turned out to not look quite as sharp as I would like with a suit and are better with a nice jeans and a jacket type outfit. Something about the particular brown and the laces.

yeah i love all campers but their dress shoe designs are just short of formal enough a lot of the time.

which sucks because then i have no cool yet formal shoes to wear w/a suit.

Q: Could I get away with wearing the black ones with a standard-looking suit? The side of the sole is sort of a tan/light brown as opposed to a typical all-black dress shoe.

whatever those are, i like them

xpost they are florsheim by duckie brown

I have a gift card for florsheim and I think most of their shoes are ugly, but the duckie browns are really nice

So yeah, tell me whether the lighter-colored sole will make them look too informal for a suit

Hurting - I think so.

Just bought these for work - http://www.schuh.co.uk/red-or-dead/mens-grey-red-or-dead-mr-briggs-geography-lace/3102627520

like those, but your workplace is clearly a bit easier with dress than mine.

Most of the other guys are smart / dull in my regular office, but I'm the creative maverick in the corner, so I can get away with them.

I am awaiting the arrival of some of these (a pair of posh shoes is my annual Christmas present to myself).

i would love some new shoes

i like it when girls wear oxfords. white oxfords

saw a brown/orange pair (like a combo of the leftmost and rightmost here^; kinda like max's rachel comeys but not suede) of these in the cos sale. can't decide if they're nice or horrible and what I'd wear them with

those are nice, madchen

gf just treated herself to some 200+ (reduced from 400) shoes o_O

Ayyyyyy!

god bless tax rebates

went back to peep the cos shoes earlier but the only pair in my size were fairly badly scuffed and was only offered another 10pc off so just left them

Really torn about the duckie browns. Basically the situation was this: got $150 in gift cards (would really not have preferred florsheim but I said I needed dress shoes and that's what I got); went in, bought some $200 dress shoes that I NEVER would have spent $200 for in my life, but since I was only adding $50, whatever. But even the $200 shoes I just didn't really like. Also the guy handed me a 20% off discount card on the way out, so now I'm thinking, fuckit, maybe I should just trade up to the duckie browns at an extra $40. But they have to be proper as dress shoes with a suit, because I work in a law office.

they look similar to the cos pair I posted in the other new shoes thread (w/the brownish tan sole) and I wouldn't wear those with a suit I don't think, or at least not to work (also a law bod)

thx

that being said they /are/ nice and I'm sure you'd get wear out of them so

Not sure about the suit thing (which I get is U+K), but they are beautiful shoes.

hurting, the light brown leather sole on the black shoe would give a nice lift to the suit look, imo. gives it a bit more elegance and interest.

also i think it makes them look expensive, a black sole would make them look pretty bog standard.

Despite weighing an assload, my White's quickly became the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. Trying to come up with cash for a pair in Chromexcel brown, single midleather sole, Vibram 705 halfsole.

got some rachel comey boots a few weeks ago.. my size was on sale

my gf got those same boots in black!

the mars? they rule. super comfy. i might buy another pair next year. the penpal ones are nice too. a+ to rachel comey. i really want isabel marant short boots in taupe but she doesn't make my size, i have huge feet.

FWIW, a better pic of the shoes I am torn about:

http://www.florsheim.com/shop//images/shoesDuckie/w375/19019-012.jpg

they are a fantastic pair of shoes imo. price is a bit high for me but if you've got the cash, splash it! that's my motto, word for word.

that motto again was "if you've got the cash, splash it!"

Yeah, as I said above, definitely like them, just wondering if they will go well with a suit. Would be the most expensive shoes I ever bought but combination of gift card + discount makes them affordable.

Actually I think they might look sharp as hell with a charcoal suit. Fuck it I'm going back to try them on.

These are the Rachel Comey's I've been lusting over, but I do not have this kind of cash to splash

you'll find a way to wear them, even if it means buying new stuff.

Bought 'em. Fuck yeah.

Thing is after all the fuss I made they really didn't look that unusual with a suit when I tried them on. Just a nice-looking well-made dress shoe with subtly different detailing.

those comey's are similar to the edward green oxfords that i got for xmas

i got a pair of wool oxfords from generic man before new years on gilt groupe, i look like a fuckin movie star, watch out world

what kinda sunglasses are you wearin?
