I need to pick a black pair of dress shoes for an upcoming interview and I was looking for a brand that looks professional and is also in the $60-$100 price range. I purchased the brown pair of Bostonian Capi for my current job but I found out that the rubber soles squeak whenever I walk on any surface. What are decent alternatives to this shoe that are within the Clarks Bostonian brand or from other brands?



Thank you

Those shoes are very unprofessional looking. Such square toed shoes are strongly disliked here.

Please read Styleforum 101: http://www.styleforum.net/a/what-should-i-wear-to-a-job-interview


Interview shoes should be black oxfords.

Honestly, at the $60-100 range you're not going to find alot.

You could try snagging a pair of used Allen Edmonds Park Avenues or Fifth Avenues on eBay for about $75 shipped

Or you could buy a new pair of Herring Keele's or Hull's for about $125 converted from sterling, before shipping (Cheapest ready to wear Goodyear welted shoes I know of.)
