Hello all,
New here, but not new to fashion. For my college graduation, my parents are treating me to a mini shopping spree for work attire. I have a suit in the works, and I am looking at shoes now. I want a lighter brown / tan color, preferably under $400. I like cap toe brogues, but without any embellishment on the toe itself. Leather sole, but a thinner leather sole, so maybe a Blake stitch over a Goodyear welt? I can't seem to pin down a brand because I have heard amazing and horrible things from just about all of them (AE, Beckett Simonon, Magnanni, Bruno Magli, etc.) until you get up into the Santonis or C&Js which are sadly out of my price range. Can someone point me into the right direction?
I've particularly been looking at Beckett and Simonon as they're currently running a sale, but haven't heard much on them compared to the others. I do love the look of their cap toe brogue, though
