So I'm in need of a pair of black dress shoes, but have absolutely no idea what to get. I'm a university student, hoping to be able to get some job interviews in the near future. Need a rough idea of what sort of style/brand.
Budget is 100USD. Although hopefully I can skimp even more and get it <60USD |

QUOTE(Cheenoo @ Dec 12 2010, 12:27 PM) Are those called oxfords? I'm pretty confused when it comes down to the classifications. I've got a pair of brown ones, but I only have a black suit, so yeah |

QUOTE(Zephyr_Mage @ Dec 12 2010, 05:56 PM) Yes, those are cap-toe oxfords. And you definitely need a black pair for interviews. Kinda why I didn't ask at that thread. I knew my budget would be terrible over there. But that really is what I am able to allocate You really can't skimp on this. $100 will not get you a good first pair. Try asking in the "Shoes for (real) men" thread. |

QUOTE(Zephyr_Mage @ Dec 13 2010, 02:16 AM) Even half decent ones (Loake, Cheaney,etc) will set you back around RM700. Thanks a lot! Will look into it. How much below retail are used shoes usually sold for?Go to the outlets (like Allen Edmonds), get measured up (try them on), then try to look for bargains on ebay. Don't worry about slightly beat up shoes. They look better anyway. Just give it a good spit shine and it'll work for the moment. Heh, managed to find one very similar to the one Cheenoo posted last page - Allen Edmonds Park Avenue. Seems like the only difference is the lace. |

QUOTE(Zephyr_Mage @ Dec 13 2010, 11:58 PM) I bought a pair of used Johnston and Murphy cordovan brogues for about $10 (excluding postage). Retail in Malaysia could be around RM800. But they are just J&Ms, not exactly Allen Edmonds. AEs go for around $100? Not too sure. Retail is $325 so you do the math. Awesome. Thank you so much for the help!The brogues were quite beat up, but they look great for casual purposes so I'm not complaining. One thing about Allen Edmonds is they offer recrafting services where you pay a small sum for them to restore your shoes. Pay $120 and your shoes will look almost brand new. |
