Are there shoes that are comparable to these RL in quality, but at a better price?

[Microfish]

First I should note that I can buy both of these pairs at 50% off the listed price, as I have a friend who works at RL. So given that discount, would you advise to buy these shoes (I like the style), or are there similar shoes in style, that are of comparable quality, but at a better price? I don't care about the label, quality, feel, and style are my main items of concern.
