Ice age heat wave, cant complain. |
On the search for some new black dress shoes. I'm looking for a cap toed boot, and the primary function is to wear with a suit. I looked at Allen Edmonds and I don't love their current line up for a black, cap toed boot. Has anyone purchased from some of these internet based brands such as Thursday, Wolf & Shepherd, Beckett Simonon? This is what i'm looking for but ordering from some of these online companies sounds like a pain in the dick and I'd rather patronize a store if possible. https://www.beckettsimonon.com...riant=29574283427919 NRA Life Member Steak: Rare.

Are you opposed to a Wingtip? I really liked these https://www.johnstonmurphy.com...ngtip-boot/9887.html But have a really wide foot and they were uncomfortable in the lace ups for me. I got the slip ons and they are very nice https://www.johnstonmurphy.com...0Grain#sz=24&start=2 ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I have a pair of nice dress boots by To Boot New York. They offer a wide range of slip ons, cap toes and lace ups. I don't get to wear them much, but when I do they always receive compliments. | |||

Not cap toe but I just picked up a pair of these Bruno Magli dress boots for $300 off retail from Saks outlet website. I have worn them twice and while they will take a couple of more outings to get perfectly broken in I expect many years of use from them. https://www.saksoff5th.com/bru...027073&bmUID=n264reM ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

I have two pair of To Boots that I really enjoy and this current boot search started with a pair of To Boots that I ordered online at a great deal a week ago. Now for the bad news, they don't fit and they're from last season so no more sizes. I ordered this seasons replacement, but at $450, I figured I should possibly look at some other big names for that type of scratch.
I don't mind wing tip, but not for this particular shoe/boot, at least not yet. NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

I have ordered two pairs of boots from Thursday Boot Company. They were a good value and ordering them was hassle free and they arrived quickly. If they don’t fit, return shipping is free. There are a lot of reviews on YouTube. | |||

Wait, what? |
I have a pair of Clark’s dress shoes that are extremely comfortable. They make a few dress boot models if the brand interests you. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Alden makes a great shoe if you like their styles. They are very traditional. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

By all reports, the quality of Johnston and Murphy is not the same now as it was in the past. | |||

Go to YouTube and watch reviews for every boot recommended in this thread. I'll throw out another name: Oak Street Bootmakers. I'm happy with the pair I have as well as the two pairs of Aldens. I went through a little expensive boot phase a few years ago. Year V | |||

Johnston & Murphy are no longer an essentially hand made, American shoe. They used to be and were good shoes. Now they are factory made, and no better than any other mass-market shoe. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
