Need assistance with selecting shoes

So I have a wedding coming up in the near future and I need to get a pair of dress shoes to match my dark navy suit.  I have one pair of black that looks the following.  These are my everyday shoes that I use for work or when I go out into NYC with a nice pair of jeans.

I also own a pair of these black Bostonion dress shoes that I wear with my suit or to the office once in a while. (Mine came with a leather sole, but bought them 10 years ago)

  I want to expand my wardrobe and am looking to venture into a brown/burgandy shoe, possibly leaning toward a wingtip.  Can anyone give a suggestion to a stylish pair?

Do they ever go on sale?  If so, what sites should I be watching to see when they do?  Thanks!

Not to sound like a pompous ass, but both those shoes you linked are of pretty poor quality and rather ugly. If your in NYC area, go to the Nordstrom rack in union square and you can find good deals on Allen Edmonds. Sounds like a good starting point for someone looking to get into better quality shoes. (Assuming you are)

There's a guy on here who sells them for $245 or something like that; look up allen edmonds mega thread. Nordstrom has a sale on July where some AE's are around $200, although I can't be sure if Mcallisters are among those included in the sale. I assume that they are since Strands are also but I could be wrong. They may be pricier than what your used to; but once you get one, I'm willing to bet you won't want to go back.

I thought the shoes on those sites just don't look polished at all and not a great quality. There are a lot to choose from really, as mentioned here, Nordstrom and AE.
