Business dress shoes

These cap toes have the same sole as your shoes and in my size they're $56 -- normally $225.

I would also not that the sizes run big. I normally wear a 10 in most shoes. Both pair of Gordon Rush I own are size 9.

I have a pair of Gordon Rush loafers that are, hands down, my favorite dress shoes. I bought them from Nordstrom Last Chance about 5 years ago, and I have worn them a lot. They are finally starting to wear out, and I am truly saddened by it. I was contemplating buying another pair a few months back. They were on Zappos on a BOGOHO sale a couple months back, but I missed the sale and haven't been able to convince myself to pull the trigger on a full price pair ($175).

EDIT: They are now $225.

What about them makes them your favorite? Are they substantially more comfortable than others? Prefer the style? Match your wardrobe better? Other?

Has anyone had a pair of Gordon Rush shoes? They sell them at Nordstroms and are readily available at Nordstroms Rack. They have some really good deals on Amazon too.

I have a couple pair of Gordon Rush. I would say they are worth $100-$140. They are a lower end Nordstrom offering. They are comfortable and generally well made. That being said, avoid the Rush by Gordon Rush line. Those are the ones I've seen lately on Amazon for like $60-$80. I've heard those are garbage.

I have those exact shoes. I've hardly worn them, though. Not a big fan of slip on dress shoes. Feels lazy.

That had these black wingtips, made in Italy, on sale last Sunday for $98.00

I don't really wear wingtips -- I've never had a pair and my dad has never been a fan of them. But if I were to buy a pair, I wouldn't want the lace flaps which is why I didn't pull the trigger on these.

Never heard of them before your post, but I went to their website and found some stuff I like. Not gonna lie, though, $200 is a lot to pay for shoes from a brand you know nothing about. That's an expensive test run if you end up not liking them.

Good point. I just grabbed some black toe cap Oxfords at Nordstrom Rack. I don't know anything about Santoni (the manufacturer) either, but at least I could hold them/try them on.

EDIT: There are some favorable reviews out there for Santoni.

Anyone try Jack Erwin shoes?

That is almost verbatim what a buddy of mine said while flipping through a magazine in 1993.

Right? It's always been the better combo.

I read an article earlier that I thought was pretty timely given this discussion. Here's a guide on how you wear brown shoes with different colors.

Brown and blue in that pic? That must be a hot new trend.

[hostile]

So brown and blue color combos are the hot new trend. But how is this a trend? Blue has always looked better with brown than black.

i also wanted a brown wingtip but didn't really want to pay much. the stafford ashton wingtip came recommended. they are made of cheap materials and are poorly constructed, but for $50 they've been exactly what i wanted (not my pic, i think they look stupid with the jeans):

Yep, gotta be careful wearing dress shoes with jeans. I've got a nice pair of brown dress shoes that go well with some nice jeans, but they are on the low end of dressy. Wingtips would never go well with jeans. Frankly, I hate wingtips but to each their own.
