I've been searching for awhile and can't seem to find many non-chunky derbies/bluchers that are both affordable and well-constructed (e.g. Goodyear welted).
On the high end there are plenty of beautiful models, e.g. John Lobb and Edward Green:

If I could afford those EG babies I'd buy them in a heartbeat. Unfortunately they're a bit out of my price range. On the lower end I've seen some reasonable looking models from places like Suit Supply, but my guess is that they're probably glue jobs.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. So far the best I've seen are the CJ Prestwoods (which seem to be discontinued) and Ralph Lauren's Gittens (which is of unknown quality).
