Casual shoes that go with jeans and linen jacket.

Those Gucci shoes are hideous.
Looks like SF has gone far downhill the last few years.

SF??? Why do you say SF? Why note Gucci, they are the ones who made them. I haven't seen anyone on Styleforum wear them.

Because Gucci was never a SF approved brand. Tacky logos are anathema to the timeless gentleman!

I might go for one of these. $80/shipped with 40% off LE.

Suede bluchers or suede chukkas. I think calf leather is too formal, even in an informal style like a chukka.

J Crew has some decent suede bucks (Goodyear welted, brick red soles) for $200. They can usually be had for less with a coupon or promotion.

Torn between plain toe or wingtip. I might go for plain.

From these two I would go for plain too. (But really, I would add some money and go with Meermins).

I think I prefer the lug sole, as this is supposed to be a casual shoe for jeans. The leather soles are hard on the feet, and I don't need that all summer long. The formality of clicking along in leather soles clashes with the casual jeans, and is one reason I am looking to replace the dress shoes paired with jeans.

I went with the plain toe for $74 at LE.

I think I prefer the lug sole, as this is supposed to be a casual shoe for jeans. Hard to justify going past the $80 at LE. The leather soles are hard on the feet, and I don't need that all summer long. The formality of clopping along in leather soles clashes with the jeans, and is one reason I am looking to replace the dress shoes paired with jeans.

I have them and the suede as well as the construction is very cheap. I would rather spend more and get some Alden or something else that will last > 1 season.

Maybe these?

Good luck!

"Any shoe under $250 will explode in 1 year" is a SF myth that exists no where else.
I have a pair of beater $90 J&M's that take all the extreme weather abuse, and they are going on 10 years...
The LE will last more than one season. They will last 5-10.
