What 3 shoes are your go-to footwear?

[bigbris1]

1. Polo Falkirks in heavy rotation (dreading sending them to EG for repair $$$)
2. Chestnut Alden Perf Caps
3. Barneys brown cap toe

 

[sho'nuff]

these days i only have 5 pairs of dress shoes, can you believe it? i sold everything.

so my 3 goto shoes are my 3 that i wear almost everyday:


Ferragamo rubber sole black bit loafer ( i wear this everyday almost , most comfortable, 3 days in a row even. sometimes i am in a rush i forget to put in trees. this pair is still durable and awesome. that put an end to the notion of "rotate your shoes" as a mandatory for me imo)

Santoni classic black Braden penny loafer (i wear this for more dress occasions. i know, penny loafer, but i dont care these days anymore. im so good on loafers because i dont need to bend down and fuss with tying anymore. i dont even use horn anymore, i just smash my foot in. nice sleek wellmade penny loafer)

AE Cameron burgundy (another penny loafer, but this one just by default something to slip on when i am running to somewhere close to take care of an errand or something. nothing great, i have a AE bradley , and to tellyou the truth, my two AEs are the most uncomfortable of the 4 shoes ihave. imo.
ferragamo fits and feels like comfort. the AEs feel like wood crates around my feet sometimes. i would never wear them all day. of course Jan will disagree.)



i know that sometimes i see a premium shoe on a good price somewhere sometime and i get a strong urge to get it. but these days i just hold off and let that feeling stir inside for a few days, and it subsides. then reason kicks in and i get relieved i did not spend $400+ on a pair shoes i dont need. jeans now is a different thing though

Ciro Lendini?

I've gotten two shoes from them now, and when on sale for $40-$60, I don't think you can get a better deal. Attractive designs, comfortable, fit true to size, and non-corrected-grain leather.

 

[valejo]

1) C&J Weymouth (Chestnut)
2) RM Williams SF Special (Chestnut)
3) Church Balmoral on 73 Last (Tan)

I have a rather casual lifestyle not working in a downtown area. My three go-to shoes are these. From left to right Heschung Suede rubber sole, Mantallasi, Lobb William. All are two+ years old and all are worn at least once a week in all kinds of weather and when traveling.

If you haven't tried them get a pair of suede shoes with rubber soles. They are very comfortable. And, in a dark brown they can look rather dressy and not show stains.

Two dressy shoes and one more casual choice, but all definitely my go-to shoes...

1) C&J Welbecks in black

2) Zegna Couture oxfords in a dark reddish-brown

3) RM Williams boots in brown

I love the Zegna shoes!

 

[Gherkins]

I would only need one: EG Beaulieu, dark oak.

My workhorse shoes. Look nice with jeans and suits and seem to be indestructible.

+1 Nail pattern from Sutor right, saw a nice whole cut now last week at the local Zegna store. (godamn didnt even try it on ...)

 

[0b5cur1ty]

1. Black ankle boots from Van Bommel.
2. Brown, slightly pointy, shoes with some brogueing from De Stilo.
3. Brown, rather worn, sneakers from Hugo Boss.

No. 3 will have to be replaced quite soon. I'm seriously considering getting no. 1 in brown (probably suede) to fill that role. My new black shoes from Magnanni may well join this list as they look smart and are exceptionally comfortable.
