Help!
I have read this thread; lots of lovely shoes but not much advice on where to buy.
I am in the market for a two pairs of tan shoes, for formal and casual wear. I have done some research but would love advice/ ideas.
My details:
Price range per shoe: $200-$800.
Upper: Leather, calf or shell. Perhaps suede, not sure. but willing to be convinced.
Style:: Brogue (all toes), captoe, PTB. Not looking for split toe.
An example would be the brand that typifies (in my mind) the tan leather shoe- Grenson.
The Grenson Stanley (formal-ish wear):

Grenson Archie V Brogue (casual wear)

I like my grenson dylans, I like the look, I like the last, they are super comfortable and they were pretty cheap. HOWEVER if you look closely you see various minor made in india imperfections on the brogueing. nevertheless I wear this shoe pretty often and for that price you have to look very long to find something similar.
