Black oxfords <$100

[lemmywinks]

I need the best pair of black oxfords I can get for $100. I understand the best shoe for me is something like the Allen Edmonds Park Avenue and I know you guys can think of plenty of reasons to justify me buying something a little more high end but $100 is what I am willing to spend because I'm simply not getting that much wear out of these shoes.

Used or new? If new, I honestly would not know of any source for something en par with AE PA for below 100 bucks. Not sure if this is the best forum for asking for cheap shoes.

I'm not looking for something on the same level of the Park Avenues because I know that is impossible for my price range. I'm just looking for an affordable oxford that isn't a clunky square toe or some weird pointy toe shoe. Preferably leather soled because most offerings are a clunky rubber sole. I guess a minimalist rubber sole works too.

I know that everyone here will want to kill me, but for budget oxfords, maybe take a look at brands like:

Bostonian
Cole Haan
Florsheim
Johnston & Murphy

The quality obviously won't be anything special, but you'll definitely be able to find something in your budget that will look decent.

My guess is anything cheaper retail would be at Payless. Jcrew is $158-168 for decent shoes too.

You okay with used? Used PAs under $100 are all over eBay.
