Dress Shoes

[lindertw]

Rockport "Ellington's" are the most comfortable dress shoes I've owned.

I have some Clarks that I wear for work, but second the suggestion of Cole-Haan.

Yea I was looking at the Johnston & Murphy Shoes. I was just worried that they were made in China. I just can not bring myself to pay $150 - $250 on a pair of shoes made in China. Same goes for boots. I have a pair of 511's that I paid $120 for and then realized that they were also made in China. Like the Chief said what isn't made in China anymore.

I do like those ECCO shoes. I want to try a pair on.

If you are going to actually work and stand (trade shows, floor sales), Rockports.

If you are looking for a dress shoe for office work or playing dress-up at the wife's orders, Johnston and Murphy - and frankly buy the most expensive pair that you like the looks of and can almost stomache the price of. The bare minimum is that they be re-sole-able. $100 shoes you can't resole get expensive over time, $150 re-sole shoes can last a lifetime, and if they are going to last a lifetime, you might as well get the $250 pair with the 'trampoline' system.

Be sure to put WOOD shoe trees in them when you aren't wearing them.

If running and mobility are not driving the train- allen edmunds.

if such physical activities are- then rockport or the allen edmunds above resoled with rubber.

Allen Edmonds are nice but overpriced for what you get IMO.

Johnston & Murphy are the best mix of quality and price. You can often find them at Filene's for a nice price.

I have a pair of Mephisto shoes which are fantastic but are an investment, they have also lasted 15 years.

Bass or Bostonian are nice alternatives for less money than either.
