Similar shoe to this Timberland?

[doublemazaa]

I've been looking for a shoe like this for a while, but $275 is a bit steep. Low, leather, can wear in the rain, casual shoe for wearing with denim, slacks, or cords.

I like these timberlands, but I'm not sure the price will match the quality/function. I know $300 isn't a ton in the world of shoes, but at that price I will need them to last both in quality and in style/function/use.

Thoughts?

Terrible. You should just get Allen Edmonds under $300 and call it a day.

Yeah, I have a few pairs of allen edmonds. Looking for something more casual, with less of a heel.

I could see them being pulled off but so many little things bother me about that shoe.

Would suggest Margiela, but that also has a heel, and is about 1.5x your price range when on sale. Shoes with a low heel like that one you posted look unbalanced. You might find some past season Rachel Comey's that have a lower profile sole.
