I would recommend the Allen Edmonds Kenwood in tan. They're simple and classic, and they're definitely of higher quality than Cole Haan.


Yeah, I like that style, pretty much what I have now except it's a CH.

I went to a shoe repair shop and had them glue a thin rubber sole on the leather. I have yet to run through the rubber in a year and a half.


How does that look, though? Has the glue held up? I've been giving rubber soles more weight in my decision for durability concerns.

These are the AE Soles (of yesteryear sadly)

I always got the tempest. Last pair I had refurbished I got the double leather sole and it has lasted a long time. Something you can look at if leather soles are important.

Loved the tempest sole. It's what the Secret Service guys put on their soles

From the side, it looks like a leather sole. From the bottom, who cares. I think I know what you're saying, though. Some rubber sole dress shoes can tend to look like clunky orthopedic retard shoes. These don't.
