Casual Work Shoes...Any ideas?

[Artisan Fan]

Hi friends,

Looking for some suggestions on reasonably priced (under $200) shoes for work in a business casual environment.

I'm covered pretty well on the dressier client-appropriate front but looking for ideas on shoes that are comfortable but still look nice. Need some decent cushioning in the heel but with durability.

I had been using some Geox loafers but the quality seems to have gone downhill lately.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

How about Wolverine boots, or shoes?

I second this idea. In fact, I own a pair of Wolverine shoes, and I do wear them on a business casual basis.

Thanks for the idea but I'm looking for something dressier than that.

Aldens?

Yeah, like a split toe on the aberdeen last would be nice.

Split toes are a good idea. Also:

Suede
Loafers
PTBs

Desert boots are also good

Chukkas in general are good in calf, suede, cordovan.

Derby brouges are nice and casual, I don't know any specific brands for you though, I live in Euroupe.

suede chuka with crepe sole.

Something like what Will offers at A Suitable Wardrobe.

I dunno, I tend to prefer ice cream or cookies.

Didn't you work at McK? You should have made enough money to afford some nicer shoes than $200
