Despite working in a corporate-ish environment, I wear jeans and chinos to office about 3 out of five days. So the formal shoes- Lobbs, C&J and Vass - come out only half the time.
I am hoping for suggestions on casual shoes that I can wear to the office. Thus far I am unable to find anything I like.
It may be easier to describe what I don't want to wear: I don't want something that looks like this (or most shoes that would be a better fit for SW&D):
I don't want to wear suede if possible - Something that looks like this or a better (IMO) version thereof:
I am also not really keen on tasseled shoes, and the Yukenet/ Oak Street type of boat shoes, or mocs.
I will consider the Mark McNary suedes if that's all that remains is (see below):
Finally, here's what I would really consider buying (based on pics, not actually seen in real life). This was in the Oak Street Bootmakers thread and could be something those guys may have in the future. See the captoe on the left
I could also do the John Lobb 'Winner' range of shoes, but they're much more expensive than what I am prepared to spend ($1k and up). My price range is more $400 and down.
So my questions: Generally, where should I look for the type of casual shoes I want- or am I being too picky? In specific, do you know where I can presently buy something similar to that captoe above?
