I really like this shoe but am skeptical of its quality. Can someone show me a pair similar to this design but with good quality? I need them to be available in brown, not black.

Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue, Loake 1880 Strand and Meermin may within your budget.

BTW, don't buy the one in your link, or u will regret.

I need a derby to wear with chinos and jeans. Oxfords are for suits only, right?

It is a Oxford, not Derby.

Nope, the open lacing definitely makes it a derby.

You are right, it is a derby. I have not open the big pic and made a mistake.

Oxford looks more formal than Derby. While doesn't mean for suits only.

Allen Edmonds Shoe Bank currently has Lexingtons for $157. Can't go wrong with the Lexington if you want a austere, brown, cap-toed blucher. AE is also now selling new Lexingtons with dainite rubber soles for the fall. Some seconds will hit the Shoe Bank or you can wait for the upcoming Labor Day-ish annual 15% off blowout.

They may also have some Fort Collins left at blowout prices. It has a clisel toe (3-last) so you have to be OK with that but it's a subtle one. Took my eyes a wearing or two to adjust but I think they look very good in Bourbon.
