Are these square toe shoe?

The shoes pictured are okay, but there are better black captoe bals (that style) out there, and they wouldn't be my first, second, or third choice with jeans and a jacket. I prefer, when wearing jeans, to wear more-casual shoes, rather than wearing a particularly dressy shoe. That said, I have done it, and I'll probably do it again.

I would not pay $2 for those Diesel shoes, but that's because I believe shoes should be taken care of, and so buying shoes that look like they've been abused is abhorrent to me.

It's not really square toe, more like a rounded square like EG 606.

Do you guys think it's too dressy/shiny? Can I wear this with jeans and blazer?

 

 

 

 

Anyone knows anything about Diesel shoes? I'm looking to purchase this, but not sure about the quality though.

It really depends on how you put the pieces together and how you carry yourself, but generally speaking, it's better to pair jeans with casual styling shoes.

It is dressy, but its far from too shiny.

Diesel shoes are on the fashion side, quality is similar to mass market shoes that should last you a good 5+ years without major problems and could take a lot more abuse than the shoes beloved on this forum.  But at that price point, it is far from a bargain.  Best bargain I've seen is brand new Cole Hann GY welted in India shoes for less than $75; great beaters.

Great, thanks. I'll have to teach myself to spot Goodyear welts, but I think I know where to look.
