Dress shoes for under $200

[treydawg]

Need something that isn't clunky for under $200. Color must be black. Anything good out there right now?

Exactly how dressy are we talking? Like for a suit? For a tux? For a pair of grey wool pants?

You can find Allen Edmonds on sale for under $200, and they also offer seconds. To save even more might I suggest ebay. I got my Chesters for under $50 and with some TLC they look close to new.

It's not quite in the budget, but the AE Fifth Avenue is on sale for $230 right now. It's one of the pillars of the well-dressed guy around these parts.

For a suit, I'm a wingtip fan. Starting to like monks as well.

In that case, trolling ebay may help. I picked up a pair of $700 English-made wingtips for $150 because the name was obscure and there was no competition.

Ah I still remember that day Alan! It was quite the steal!

I just snagged a pair of slightly used Strands for $160 on eBay. Get sized, and if your patient, you'll find something.
