    You’re on a first date.
    Dressed to impress.
    Trousers are pressed, the shirt is starched, and details are on point!
    She arrives grinning from ear to ear.
    And then looks down and sees them...
    Your cracked, 10-year-old, square-toed leather shoes.
    Game over.
    Dress shoes, gentleman.
    They can make or break an outfit.
    Designer Hardy Amies once remarked, "It is impossible to be well dressed in cheap shoes."
    Shoes are arguably the most important investment a man can make in his closet.
    The average man owns at least 10 pairs of shoes.
    Truth is, you only need a pair of black cap toe leather oxfords for formal occasions, brogues for everyday use, dress boots for less formal occasions, loafers for casual days/weekends and a wildcard pair of your choice to upgrade your shoe game.
    All you need is stylish versions of these 5 timeless and classic shoe styles in your quest to build a versatile shoe wardrobe.

    My first pair is an oxblood double monks, second pair is a pair of black oxfords with closed lacing and a quarter-brogue. Followed by a pair of captain light brown/tan leather boots.
    And now I am struggling between a pair of dark brown dress loafers and a pair of black Chelsea since it's fall.
    Both of them are around 250 usd and I only have the budget for one pair of really good shoes. I understand the importance of inventing in good shoes but good finance is also what I look for in being a modern gentleman. Thank you Antonio.

    Yes, pulled this off well early on. When I was young acquired a nice pair of brown leather dress boots on a charles tyrwitt sale (england, but one of the higher up suit places) When I actually began wearing suits that where not just charcoal grey, advantage of these boots is that they are very plain and just have a zip up the side, so can look formal as well.

    420$ Allen Edmonds Long Branch Wingtip Boots. I wear them pretty much everyday in the fall and winter. Super comfortable, well constructed and i love the way they're aging. My only reservation is the sole is soft and wearing out quicker than expected, correctable when it comes it to having them resoled

    Most of my shoes(I have 12 pair) cost between $400-$600. Mostly mixture of AE, Church’s and Loake. A pair of very old JM’s and new pair of Cole Haan double monk straps. I have most dress shoe styles and tend to favor Wingtips. That said, the Cole Haan’s are by far my most comfortable shoe(still full leather top to bottom) and yet they are my cheapest pair. I’m going to have to re-evaluate my shoe buying. I tend to agree with most of your picks but I don’t really consider loafers a dress shoe. I favor oxfords like whole cuts, cap toe, wing tips but even a Derby with some nice brogue work can fit the bill. The monk straps are about as informal as I go.

    Great advice and vid, Antonio. I own a pair of black Loake shoes in an oxford style with a toe cap but no broguing. I bought them for somewhere in the region of £200. I've worn them with suits for interviews and a wedding, as well as them being my regular shoe for work every day with trousers, shirt, tie and jumper - for around a year. I don't own another pair of smart shoes, so the vid allowed me to consider all of these styles and characteristics. Thank you!

    I say Chelsea Boots FTW!
    Wear with a Suit = Yes
    Wear with Jeans = Yes
    Comfortable, Secure, and Practical - I could probably do anything in these that I could do with tennis shoes
    I prefer the ones with zippers rather than the elastic stretchy piece. Have the zipper color/shine match belt buckle and/or watch for accent. Most expensive pair = $130, wear daily.... of course that doesn't include my Tech 8's - $430 when I got em.. but I don't think you can count those :P
    Men have such a limited choice of shoes compared to women... at least in the US that's the case. That being said, I've been in Germany for a few months and there is a much better selection here - more variety, better designs, and better prices.

    I bought a pair of Crockett & Jones' "Alex" last September in black calf. These are wholecut shoes that were worn in the James Bond film "Skyfall". They were $700, and they fit like a glove. Yes they are very expensive, but I've already worn them many times (some of these occasions I was standing quite a bit). The last is a perfect slim style without being too narrow, they hold a shine very well, and look really good when wearing either a tux or a suit. Even though I can't afford to do this again for a very long time, I am very pleased with them.

    The most expensive pair of shoes I own were a pair of bespoke quarter brogue captoes made by Master Yohei Fukuda when I visited The Armoury in NYC for his trunk show priced at $5500. However, my most commonly used dress shoes would be a pair of MTO Saint Crispins from Leatherfoot purchased here in Toronto. A full brogued balmoral boot in a chocolate brown crust leather costing me $2400.

    As a restaurant manager I need to have slip resistant shoes, I buy shoes for crews, black label. They have a very nice model oxford with capped toe that I always buy. Very comfortable and they last at least a year (which is damn good for restaurant wear). I am looking for new shoes for my personal life, and this is a great tutorial.

    The only shoe I have to wear with a suit is a pair of black wingtips and I'm not spending the money on something that is just a straight plain dress shoe just to wear with a suit. So people are just going to have to deal with seeing me in a suit with wingtips.

    Love this review! I’m rather new to this so this is very helpful. One question I have is I need a pair of shoes that would look good with a pair of jeans and maybe a polo or button down shirt. Would monk straps or wingtips work or is that too dressy? Also would brown or black be better for that style?

  • @uptightkid
    @uptightkid 8 лет назад +1

    Shoe polish and a brush are a great investment. For a few bucks you can keep dress shoes looking new after years of daily wear.The great thing about a well worn but well maintained pair of dress shoes is that they are super comfortable. I have only recently started to buck my ideas up style wise (getting close to 40) but I agree that having good presentation for work/play does change the way people treat you in a positive way. The weird thing is that these days, trendy brand casual clothes are more expensive than traditional dressier stuff. The secret is getting stuff off the rack fitted by a tailor/alterations guy. Costs a few bucks more but makes all the difference.

    Shoes I wear far more often: my black cap toe - $130 and my brown wingtip - $140 both from GH Bass & Co. My next shoe I wear often: Nike Air Max Tailwind 7 - $94 - I wear this when I'm working out or quick errands. My casual non-athletic go-to shoe is my light brown nubuck chukkas (GH Bass & Co) - $135. I wear this during casual Fridays at work or when out on dates with my wife. I occasionally wear my old-school white canvas Tretorn sneakers when out with friends on a weekend jaunt.

    when i was a boy growing up in Newfoundland, my grandfather was a labourer on the CN line and he wore a suit and tought me how to sit in a pair of suit pants so as not to ruin the crease. he also carried a home made ( by my grandmother ) shoebag. this was made of old leftover material to carry our good shoes to school and wear galoshes in transit.
    I do not know how it is possible in a city like Toronto, fully salted all winter long, to dress well on the way to wprk in transit unless one owns a car and has a heated driveway.
    The only option here is to dress like a slob to work, carry a change of shoes and clothes and make a very awkward trip to a public washroom.
    What am I doing wrong? I want to live in your world.
