I'm a first time poster, though I've been an avid reader for some time now. Currently I'm a third year medical student in my mid 20's getting ready to purchase my first pair of "real" shoes. I would like these shoes to be as versatile and low maintenance as possible...have a little flash, but able to work with a suite for a residency interview, with scrubs on the wards (NOT in the O.R.), with slacks in a clinic, or at night with cocktails.
I would really like to look at these shoes as an investment that will last a long, long time, not necessary the beginning of a larger shoe collection. Labels don't mean a lot to me, and I am very conscious to the point of dimensioning return in a product.
Right now I'm drawn to the characteristics of cordovan, but the styles and availability seem somewhat limited. I've been looking at the Alden Chukka boots and the Alden Monk Strap, but am worried the chucka's are too casual/limited, and I don't like the Alden monk strap as much as other monk straps I've seen at half the cost. Any suggestions or comment would be most helpful
