Just like the suits thread began with a picture of the absolute worst fitting suit imaginable, you're beginning the "nice shoe" thread this garbage. Keeping the tradition alive, I see.

Wear socks with suits. In fact, always wear socks to cover you ankles unless you're wearing shorts or linen trousers or something. It looks bizarre otherwise.

First adequate post

Love those trousers, although they could stand to be a little longer. Not a big fan of brogues, but the color is nice.

>>12982576

wrong thread

So how am I even supposed to be able to tell decent quality if I'm looking for new shoes.

I'm looking for some brown shoes in a relatively "neutral" sytle similar to >>12982757 but with a low budget (less than 100€ basically). What should I expect, avoid, etc?

>100
Buy second hand, factory seconds or duggers of london. You should look at leather quality at first. Sense of leather quality develops quickly when you get to feel good quality yourself. Then construction. Goodyearwelt is associated with quality shoes.

Expect cancer, avoid wearing longer than you have to, buy better shoes as soon as possible. Those shoes you linked to are John Lobb bespoke and start at something like £3500.

Meermin is probably the lowest price you can reasonably get something like a quality shoe for; their standard price for men's shoes is €160. Here's a link to a fairly similar pair: www.meermin.es/en/10153411200000se-20-101534-oak-antique-calf-e-oak.html
Be aware that unless you have narrow feet, the Elton last will probably fit half a size smaller than you're used to, e.g. if you're normally 8, go for 8.5.

>>12983431
You expect cheap and disposable black shoes, cheap and reliable black shoes, cheap and cheap-looking brown shoes, cheap and reliable brown suede shoes, Doc Martens, Clarks Desert Boots at that price point.

Good brown shoes are harder to come by.
Save up until you buy a Loake 1880. I may be biased but I believe Loake 1880 is an excellent cost /durability ratio in Luxury shoes.

Brown full brogue derbies... maybe for tweed suits...

>>12984836
Meermin all the way, bruh.

Why dont buy something truly made in Mallorca as Lottusse or Carmina instead of that chinese made shoes? Not that they are bad but the word "Mallorca" makes the brand a bit BS-ish.

>>12985123
Because they're really good for their price point. Can't find European made goodyear welted shoes for 160 €. I'm currently a poor student so I'll just go for okay quality products made in China.

>>12985149
I understand your point. May i suggest you to check Berwick brand? They are made in mainland Spain and same price as Meermin. Might be a little less refibed finish but well, you cant have it all.

>>12985174
They have corrected grain leather at that price point, like loake and others. And you can't really find berwick shoes anywhere

>>12985123
Carmina is twice as expensive as Meermin. That person wanted shoes for less than 100 euros.

Why don't you buy bespoke John Lobb Paris?

Any good pair of dress shoes will cost you at least 500$+.

>>12985593
You can get the best dress shoe ever made, the Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, for less than $400.

>>12985864
Yeah, well... murrica strong and shit...

>>12985864

>Allen Edmonds
>not bulky as shit

>>12985409
Yes, Carmina is double price easy, but we are not talking Hyundai 20.000€ vs Mercedes 40.000€; we are talking a fistfull yuros. And i suggested Lottusse too, which is like 50€ more expensive than Meermin only. And later Berwick that is same price.


And talking about bespoke, considering John Lobb Paris isnt even real John Lobb anymore id go to Dimitri Gomez if living at Paris.

Cheers.
