I was wondering if I can get some opinions. I bought a pair of these Antonio Mauritzi wingtips for $100. I can't decide whether to keep them or sell them and look for a used pair of AE McAllisters. I think McAllisters in good used condition go for around $130 on ebay so it'd be close to a wash. Opinions? New Mauritzis or used AEs? Thanks!

I found a pair of Antonio Maurizi shoes at DSW. They looked great, fit great, and were a good price. However, the build quality on them were absolutely garbage. I think I paid $150 for them, and don't think it was worth it. After about 10 wears, the stitching started to come undone. The leather quality seemed rather poor for a shoe that supposedly has a retail price north of $500.

That being said, I have three pairs of Allen Edmonds, and I wear a hell out of them, and they hold up marvelously.

I would never ever buy another Antonio Maurizi, but would certainly buy many more Allen Edmonds in the future.

Just my opinion.

I got them during a doorbuster Black Friday sale on gilt.
