I am tired of sneakers and want some kind of footwear that is nicer, lasts longer and more mature. What sort of footwear do you recommend me? I was thinking about something like what appears on pic

[Anonymous No.14726939]

>>14726913
Derbies or loafers. Personally I'm fully commited to /loafergang/.
Those in your pic are norwegian split toe derbies, theyre nice

[Anonymous No.14727037]

>>14726913
Check out the docs (I think they're the 1461). Probably normcore for some but they're nice shoes imo

prada patent leather derbies or just prada footwear in general. killer quality.

Depends on what the rest of your wardrobe is like. Formal shoes will look stupid with overly casual clothing. Boots are probably a good midpoint that can still work with more casual clothes.

Also a word of warning, if you want leather shoes to last longer, make sure to read up on and follow leather care guides, and probably avoid leather soles if you want to wear them out and about.

Good goodyear welted footwear in the under 350€ price range:

Meermin
Yanko
Morjas
Carlos Santos
Myrqvist
Loake 1880
Sanders
Skolyx
Shoepassion

I live in Europe, so these are all brands available there online. Dunno about American brands.

Anyway, I'd recommend you a pair of plain toe bluchers, split toe derbies and longwing brogues.

Leather soles are fine if it stays dry.

>>14727074
I can recommend Myrqvist as well. Cheapest good year welt Ive found. Its some weird rubber sole thougj, not dainite or vibram but the leather is all good and the sole can be switched out when its worn down of course.

Carlos Santos is awesome, but there are very few if any models under €350. They are also very conservative, but that is to be expected from an old Portuguese company.

Absolute shit quality, there whole business revolves around scamming people who are just switching from sneakers to proper shoes or boots, who can’t tell the difference between a quality and worthless chinkshit boot, which is why they market through those YouTube channels so much since they appeal to a the same demographic. Avoid them at all costs.

Why on earth would you want leather soles, let alone pay almost a half grand for it? That's like paying extra to look like a lower tier union leader

Wanna know how I know you've never had to wear a suit or dress nice in your life?
Virtually all formal and dress shoes have leather soles. Really the only reason you'd have dress shoes with a rubber sole would be if they were your dedicated rain/snow pair. They're is nothing more tacky than showing up to the office with rubber soles on your oxfords.

I don't pay that much. I get them on sale or at estate sales or slightly worn from a few reputable sources for such things. I bought a pair of Brioni shoes for $125 that had been worn at a fashion show one time. They're worth 1500. Here's a pic after I wore them 3 or so times to teach.

I like Herring. They do the big names in the uk and do a great job. Also, look into Orvis for some nice Alfred Sargent and Cheaney boots for 70% off. They look like the boots here.

Fuck this idiot. No one cares. I'm one of three people who doesn't wear absolute shite shoes to work. Everyone wears bullshit cole haan or even some kind of hybrid sneaker dress shoe thing. I have lots of shoes with Itshide, toppy, and Dainite soles. People still think my Sasettis with the commando look killer.

Leather soles for black tie (patent leather) and a pair of black oxfords for when tradition is called for

Dainite for everyday wear etc, particularly in winter. This isn't difficult

they will kill your feet and the leather quality isn't the best but they're a classic for a reason and are pretty cheap so i'd cop
it will take a good month for them to get comfy though

I also really like Myrqvist. My girlfriend has very large feet (41,5) and Myrqvist chelseas fit her like a charm, despite all other brands like Loake failing. I think the sole is some imitation dainite, but it has held up pretty great so far.

>>14727189

I might remember wrong then, but I bought a pair of their penny loafers a year and a half ago for about 300€ from a brick and mortar store in Finland. Must have upped their prices since then!

>>14727479

I really like loafers as well, but just prefer brogue derbies since loafers are so tricky to size correctly. I didn't know that brogues were thought of as cringey in the States, here they are perhaps the most inoffensive dressier shoe you can have.

It does NOT last longer.
source : any bootmaker will tell you so, don't know if you have many of them in america lmao

Also you need to put a half rubber sole on your leather soles if you want them to last at all.
Walking on leather without a Topy is fucking shit unless you wear your pair once a week when it doesn't rain and you know you won't walk on carpet (it's terrible for leather soles). Any competent cobbler can put you a half rubber sole without
making your shoe look heavier.
