Help me pick a pair of brogues

[city74]

Im looking to add another pair of shoes to my growing collection. I’m looking for a tan or lighter brown colored brogue shoe to wear with jeans for a casual look. I think wingtips would work best but not opposed to a half or quarter brogue either. I wear a size 8.5 to 9 US and prefer a narrower last. I’m setting my spending at around $200 just because this isn’t a shoe that will be worn a lot, but more sparingly. I have looked at Meermin which I do like. I saw some AE on sale which seemed nice also and also Cole Haan but didn’t know if I wanted rubber sole. There are a pair of Bruno Maglis on sale for about $120 that are also a consideration. Due to most places having free returns I’m not to worried about fit as I can send them back free. I’m more worried about quality and bang for the buck sort of items.

I’d like some help and suggestions from the wise folks of the forum. Thanks
