Can you recommend a rubber-soled oxford ...

[cmeisenzahl]

for casual wear (in brown)? Under say $120? I have a 9 year old pair of Timberlands that I absolutely love, but they are nearly destroyed. ;-)

Looking for a pair to alternate with my leather soled AEs and wear on rainy/slushy days. Ideally smooth brown leather that can be polished (i.e. not suede).

Thanks!!!

I wear AE Hudsons for that occasion. They are wingtips, not oxfords, but they can be had very close to your budget.

Allen Edmonds has made tons of different rubber-soled dress shoes over the years. 2 that I routinely look for are Globetrotters and Lamberts. If you find a pair for bid on ebay it will not reach $100.

Santoni's Brenden or Barton are nice ones...should be able to find one on eBay for sub-120 if you do a saved search

+1 on the Hudsons. They have a relatively thick yet soft rubber sole, which will probably be good if these are replacing Timberlands.

For casual wear I'd be more tempted by a derby (blucher). C&J have a good selection:
