Opinion on Shoes

[DucesWild]

What does everyone think of these shoes? I am looking to get a pair in either a burgundy or mahogany color and would like to keep the price under $150.

Also, not sure if I should go with lace-ups or tassels. I am 25, do you think tassels are to "old"?

I dont think tassels are too old. However, the shoe you picked out are. The shape of the shoe bothers me. I realize they arent in the range you want to spend but how about getting something like these: http://www.salvatoreferragamo.it/en/.../en/men/shoes&

I wouldn't go that far. But, I do think those shoes (and most tasseled shoes, in general) are too "old"-looking to be your one pair of dress shoes.

If you prefer a loafer, here's a Johnston & Murphy in your price range that is more age-appropriate.

Neither Cole Haan or J&M are particularly good at that price point. You might post pics/links of other styles you would consider; many on this board might know of better quality shoes that can be found on sale at your price point.

I'd go with something like this

Thanks everyone for your responses, I think I am going to find something similar to what rioni pointed out.

Since it seems I should be able to find something of nicer quality than CH or J&M in my price range on sale where do you all recommend?
