re: Men - What's the nicest pair of Dress Shoes you own?

I have Alden shell cordovan LHS, plain toe bluchers, longwings, and tassel loafers. They’re equally nice; I find myself wearing the 563s most frequently.

Crockett & Jones Egerton in tan antique calf. I'm a big fan of Carmina's Simpson last for a more reaosbale price.

Most of these really nice brands like AE or JM feel like bricks on my feet. I pretty much have to wear something like Eccos.

Exactly. Just massive and clunky. I've been focusing on boots, and trying to find minimalist dress shoes. And driving loafers. Hard sole loafers have been another type I just cant knock out.

My latest is a pair of black wholecut oxfords from Thomas Bird (made in Italy).

Like the other poster a bit to narrow at the tip for me, but I like the simple smoothness of that shoe.

I have a pair Ferragomo Tux shoes that have a similar look. Just tighter along the sides.

I like shoes that curve to my feet, but arent tight. I dont like big soles that stick out but are more tucked under. I dont like things that "stick out," but work smoothly together. I dont care for my feet to look massive to compensate for other misgivings either. Which is what I feel most shoes today are like. Really been tough the last few yrs finding good dress shoes, so boots have been the go to.

I wear my Caterpillar work boots to church.
