Shoe brand help needed?

[Geran Brown]

I was wondering if I could get some help looking for brand recommendations on three shoe types in the price range under $350... (I like the toe shape of the Alfred Sargent Adelaide or Gaziano & Girling St. James; chisel toe type or classic square)

Black Oxford - black calf color
Brown Oxford - chestnut or rioja color
Brown Suede Oxford - cedar or polo color

All should either have a plain toe design or something with a smooth toe cap if possible; As well as either Goodyear welted or Blake welted

Thank you for your help and I really do appreciate it!

Regards,
Geran B.

Any help?

Meermin, AE, Herring and Loakes for basic level shoes.

Next up the chain is Alfred Sargent, Carmina, Crockett and Jones.

May be difficult to find chisel toes in your price range, unless there are sales.

Bally.com - on sales right now. Excellent shoes but not much of plain toes. Worth a look though

Thanks for the suggestions! It helped in my search for a brand that can offer the style of shoe I am looking for at a reasonable cost (Meermin).

Thank you for the advice. Based on Petepan's post I was able to find a shoemaker that fits my criteria perfectly

Now just to determine which of their last are similar to Gaziano & Girling's TG73 and MH71.

Meermin Lasts

Gaziano & Girling Lasts

I would strongly recommend http://www.theshoesnob.com/pages/j-fitzpatrick-footwear - Justin has a mix of classic and more contemporary designs. The price might just stretch your budget a little, but would be well worth it over something like Loake's, but won't stretch your budget quite as much as Crocketts.

I found this from The Parisian Gentleman very interesting:
