I should start by admitting that, with the exception of a pair of black cap toes for funerals and other officious occasions, I don't really need any dress shoes at all. But I still want a well-rounded shoe wardrobe for its own sake.

Please take a look at what I've got and tell me what you'd recommend for my next purchases.

Black Shoes:

Left: C&J Hallam
Right: Hugo Boss loafer



Brown Shoes:

Upper left: AE Strands
Upper right: To Boot NY medallion cap toe
Lower left: C&J Westbourne
Lower right: Johnston & Murphy cap toe blucher (This pair is either going to be re-dyed or replaced very soon.)



Casual Shoes:

Upper left: Kent Wang suede chukkas
Upper right: JAB bucks
Lower left: Laceless Sperrys
Lower right: Stacy Adams suede wingtips

For the sake of all that's Holy, please burn those Sperrys.

Burn them by setting fire to the Stacy Adams first and then throwing both pairs into a fireplace together.

Don't discount the possibility that he may be saving them for a future prison sentence.

What about Barker Blacks? Quality is not too bad and they are quite a lot of fun to wear?

Honestly, Thread's shoes seem too skewed to oxfords for a teacher.

More derbies. Next one or three should be a PTB, wingtip, or longwing blucher. Brown.

In fact, I think that he should try Vass, maybe a PTB on the 3636.
