My Bruno Magli slippers are more comfortable than a silk dressing gown!

I agree. Rubber sole is garbage for that price even with discount

Rubber sole is a no deal. I’m a man not a geriatric. Also, I have a couple pair and I don’t ever remember spending more than $250. Is this a mark up 80% to “discount” it 50%?

$200 or so and they are like 8 years old now and haven't even been resoled yet.

At least these seem functional. Personally I’m just not tearing up my $100 dress shoes to where they need to be replaced more than once a decade.

don’t get excited about an overpriced pair of dress shoes.


I've got 3 pairs of AE's. I think I got them all on sale. They are overpriced at $399, but not at $199. My oldest pair is 9 years and youngest is 5. I take care of them with polish and whatnot and they look new. A $125 pair of dress shoes from Dillard's is going to be shite leather with terrible grain that doesn't take conditioner and polish. The rubber sole ( ) will crack in 2 years and now I have to buy a new shoe when a good pair is just starting to break in and I spent $50 more than just biting the bullet the first time.

Well I wore dress shoes 4 days per week for 20+ years. I'd wear out a pair of Johnston and Murphys in a year or two. Mostly work from home now so I don't wear dress shoes very often anymore.

Leather sole is on sale for the same price. But my boots have Dainite soles and I’ve had no issues with them at all

This thread reminds me of the pleasure I have wearing flip flops on a daily basis.

Yeah that’s not “rubber”

Dainite is legit and I like better than any of my leather soles
