What kind of dress shoes should should i purchase?

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum.  I'm a young professional (27 yrs old) trying to build up my wardrobe, and I need a new pair of brown dress shoes.  I'm looking for something that I can wear in the office with slacks and a dress shirt, and that I can occasionally wear with a suit.  I'd like it to be a bit modern looking, but also classy.  I'm hoping to spend under $500.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  I was thinking of buying the C&J Audley, but I think it might be a little too expensive.

Once again, BB Peal and Co "Made in England" oxfords are mainly Crocket & Jones and are currently on sale for less than $300.

Good advice. Here is some more good advice: you may want to edit the title of your thread to include the word "shoes", although I must admit it piqued my interest. happy.gif

You should check out a pair of Trickers in Beechnut. The feel and smell of the leather is wonderful.

Allen Edmonds for price and availability. Go to a store or Nordstroms and try them.

Yes.
Three eyelet derbies (bluchers).
IMHO, your choice are a bit formal for slacks and a dress shirt.

Something like the Darmouth from C&J would bridge the informal- more formal divide.
