I have been a lurker on these boards for some time and the knowledge found here is enlightening, if not overwhelming.
I am 29 yo and never had to wear dress shoes etc. for my work, but am now learning to appreciate the craftsmanship and quality for everyday wear and future interviews/work. I would like to know what people consider quality shoes for both everyday wear (casual, but to dress up selvedge jeans) and an a classic shoe that can work both for an interview and at work itself- essentially a very small and focused basics collection.
I have read up as much as I can on the subject, and I just find Alden shoes well made but "clunky" looking. I'm more of a modern/minimalist person so I tend to shy away from even cap toes/wingtips (I know I shouldn't!). Any good suggestions for shoes that are around the $400 for a starter like me? (please try to keep this reasonable, as much as everyone will mention SF etc, I cannot justify even at that level of quality a $900+ pair of shoes)
thanks in advance!
