I have a pair of Geox dress shoes that look good, doesn't stink, and very comfy. Would recommend.
They're not incredibly cheap, but well worth it IMO.

That sale has been going on for nearly a month now, are they still bringing in new shoes? Last time i was there it was pretty picked over, particularly anything in brown. Some nice shoes, but with the limited selection and sizes it was a bit of a treasure hunt.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
No idea if they are bringing in more or not... but they did say there is only a few weeks left. Not a ton of stock, but I picked up one I liked.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That's the O Connors near the train tracks, right?
Hopefully they got some 8E left.
Yep, right on the tracks.
Longevity is a thing when paying more for the types of shoes they have at O'Connors. As someone who was cheap as fuck for most of my life dress shoes are now one of the things I'll happily spend more on now. Most runners are created equal but dress shoes definitely are not. I used to run through two pairs of Aldo dress shoes every six months at $100 a pop. They would get wet in the winter because the sole separated from the last. They would have really bad creasing shortly after I bought them. Laces would snap. It was always something.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I have a couple pairs of Allen Edmonds and with the occasional leather care routine they will basically last forever. Shoes in that range can be resole'd as well once you wear through the bottoms. They're going on 5 years old for me now and still look new. Get lot's of compliments on them too. Just food for thought. I get that paying a ton more for shoes isn't for everyone but if you can snag a good deal and pay like $50 more than you normally would for something of quality then you'd be a fool not to in my opinion.
Yeah, if you are blowing through your cheap dress shoes, buying better ones can be a money-saving venture.

I walked by there on the way back from lunch and it still looked like they had quite a lot of shoes in there. But I didn't go in.
That is all.

I also have wide feet and mainstream footwear are too narrow so I have to go AE or Alden. I'd agree with all this and you can resole at least twice to make it last longer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'll stop by next week and see how it goes.
Anyone need me to do some recon? I'm gonna be looking for 8E stuff and see what's left.
Yeah baby, check me for 11.5 and 12 sizes in various browns.

I was gonna go in but felt like I was really missing the office as I went by. Though I could use some new shoes so I’ll check early next week too. You’re lucky you’re a 1/2 size off what I need ES!
Me as well, in a perfect world they'd have a brown boot in 11.5/12.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Friend said Allen Edmond's are quality dropping? What's the current recommendation?
AE quality definitely dropping. But they are also cheaper than they used to be imo.
Balances out?
I like too boot NY as well
