+Brian Gonzalez Visit your local consignment store, Thrift store, Second hand store you will be surprised what you find there for 1/4 of the original price. You will have to be a bit open minded though.
Most expensive shoes I own are boots I wear everyday - $125. The dress shoes I own are probably (I forgot) around $30 because I figured in the regularity that I would wear them and the significance of their contribution to those given events. The more money I make and the older I get, the more I consider and appreciate the quality of footwear i own which is why* I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the informative info. Always insightful and interesting!
I have a pair of ostrich loafers from bally that was handed down to me by my father.He wore them for 20 years,have been resoled and repaired a few times. Shoes are really an investment. Buy good shoes it will probably last a lifetime.
I have a 34 year old pair of boots now on their third sole, but the snake skin is starting to look tired regardless of how much I care for them. Hand made back in the Eighties, they're the most comfortable footwear I've ever worn. I look forward to finding a replacement.
From November through December Allen Edmonds marks down selected models off %50. I wish I knew before I bought my first pair with them. Thursday Boots now sells dress shoes now too.
I bought a pair of Johnson and Murphy burgundy Oxfords at a thrift store for $9.99. After waxing and buffing I got a nice mirror shine. They look great and are a really great fit. No creases or wear marks.
My most expensive shoes are my two pairs of Allen Edmonds. And they're the most comfortable, and most beautiful shoes I've ever owned! I want a few MORE pairs of Allen Edmonds! They're the BEST!
My first pair is an oxblood double monks, second pair is a pair of black oxfords with closed lacing and a quarter-brogue. Followed by a pair of captain light brown/tan leather boots. And now I am struggling between a pair of dark brown dress loafers and a pair of black Chelsea since it's fall. Both of them are around 250 usd and I only have the budget for one pair of really good shoes. I understand the importance of inventing in good shoes but good finance is also what I look for in being a modern gentleman. Thank you Antonio.
I own 3 pairs of Church's shoes United Kingdom, First pair were a pair of two tone brogues with a white canvas and I wear them all the time, my other pair are brogue boots which I'm starting to now wear as it's getting into season and I also own a pair of black oxfords all ranging between £245-£350, I've only just turned 19 but I value shoes very greatly as I see the potential of wear in the future and I can't wait to look back on them when I'm older!
I recently bought a new pair of brown dress shoes, that'd normally go for $200, but I bought for $60, as they were on end of line clearance. And I have a set of Chelsea boots, that I wear all the time, as they can easily be both smart-casual and formal.
Very informative Antonio. Just starting to build my wardrobe. You and Aaron from Alpha M have been my most useful resources. Thanks for the free ebook. Much appreciated. Most expensive shoes I have are a pair of Cole Haans.
I actually wear my most expensive shoes on a daily, dress code on my school requires complete suit everyday as a uniform. It's great learning from you to be the best dressed. Thanks Antonio.
Most of my shoes(I have 12 pair) cost between $400-$600. Mostly mixture of AE, Church’s and Loake. A pair of very old JM’s and new pair of Cole Haan double monk straps. I have most dress shoe styles and tend to favor Wingtips. That said, the Cole Haan’s are by far my most comfortable shoe(still full leather top to bottom) and yet they are my cheapest pair. I’m going to have to re-evaluate my shoe buying. I tend to agree with most of your picks but I don’t really consider loafers a dress shoe. I favor oxfords like whole cuts, cap toe, wing tips but even a Derby with some nice brogue work can fit the bill. The monk straps are about as informal as I go.
Shoes I use: 1 Nike Blazer 1 Balmoral Oxford (closed laced) 1 Nike Air Max 270 1 Polo Ralph Lauren Work Construction Boots 1 Chelsea Boots 1 Slip-on Loafer (Driving shoe) 1 Asics (running shoes) Comfortable, quality, stylish. I maintain all of them so they always look and smell like new and never worn.
I know, right? George Bush wore a suit with cowboy boots to Jenna's wedding. LOVED IT. Have also seen Obama in boots, Reagan too....Jimmy Carter....if they're good enough for Presidents of the United States they're good enough for me.
As a restaurant manager I need to have slip resistant shoes, I buy shoes for crews, black label. They have a very nice model oxford with capped toe that I always buy. Very comfortable and they last at least a year (which is damn good for restaurant wear). I am looking for new shoes for my personal life, and this is a great tutorial.
I say Chelsea Boots FTW! Wear with a Suit = Yes Wear with Jeans = Yes Comfortable, Secure, and Practical - I could probably do anything in these that I could do with tennis shoes I prefer the ones with zippers rather than the elastic stretchy piece. Have the zipper color/shine match belt buckle and/or watch for accent. Most expensive pair = $130, wear daily.... of course that doesn't include my Tech 8's - $430 when I got em.. but I don't think you can count those :P Men have such a limited choice of shoes compared to women... at least in the US that's the case. That being said, I've been in Germany for a few months and there is a much better selection here - more variety, better designs, and better prices.
how long can a chelsea boot stand? i'm thinking to invest in i'm a student ,so looking to wear them twice a week maybe? would u recommend me some budget friendly chelsea boots?
@@ahsanjawad714 I have a pair of GEOX Chelsea boot with zipper that I bought since The summer 2014. At some point I was wearing it almost everyday and even now I always wear them when I know I'm gonna be out for long or go on a long/walk adventure in the city, plus they are water proof so I use them for in case of rain/snow. They're still going strong. But I need to buy a new one soon lol I got them on sales for about $80 to $100 Canadian dollars. This is the best shoes I have ever bought in my life. I'm pretty sure have used up all my money that and paid for it and even made a lot of profit hahah .. I'll recommend it, It's very flexible and versatile
@@ahsanjawad714 since your a student I'll give you my top 3 recommendations from low to high price/quality 1 newrepublic ~100$ if you live in the US but if you live outside the US it's 50$ shipping 2 ardent 115£ 3 Thursdayboots 190$ or 199$ Imo go for Thursdayboots since they're Goodyear welted and will literally last years easily if you only wear them twice a week
Since i am still a highschool student my most expensive shoes are my black sing monk dress shoe, it's only around 60 dollars but i wear it almost every day because i wear it for school . It's already 10 months old but it's still not broken and it's still smells good because the leather it's quite high quality for the price. It's just a glued on sole though.
200€ Adidas-runners ; maybe I should buy those silvery shiny ones, too ;-) They'd go great with my pink tie and my green hat! Not to mention my Casio watch and the Windows phone ;-)
The Best presentation I have ever seen about shoes.. Great Work Antonio.. Your recommended Shoe Brands aren't available here till now.. I wish I would wear them . Dear Brother .. Love n Respect from Karachi, Pakistan.
This are my essential shoes. Oxfords (a black pair and an oxblood pair) Italian boots (like cowboy boots, but dressy) Work boots (black and brown) Driver mocasins (black and brown) Nice leather sneakers (dressy ones)
Have two pairs of Magnanni's, they hurt like hell at first but look so damn good! Looking into another pair, either double monk strap or suede loafers, or both?
Shoe polish and a brush are a great investment. For a few bucks you can keep dress shoes looking new after years of daily wear.The great thing about a well worn but well maintained pair of dress shoes is that they are super comfortable. I have only recently started to buck my ideas up style wise (getting close to 40) but I agree that having good presentation for work/play does change the way people treat you in a positive way. The weird thing is that these days, trendy brand casual clothes are more expensive than traditional dressier stuff. The secret is getting stuff off the rack fitted by a tailor/alterations guy. Costs a few bucks more but makes all the difference.
I also like that he puts it under eight minutes. Always to the point, eloquent and professional. I've learned lots from him and received many compliments about how I dress.
420$ Allen Edmonds Long Branch Wingtip Boots. I wear them pretty much everyday in the fall and winter. Super comfortable, well constructed and i love the way they're aging. My only reservation is the sole is soft and wearing out quicker than expected, correctable when it comes it to having them resoled
I own a pair of used black shoes that I just bought for $20 and they are super-stylish, a completely deluxe version with an amazing elegance. The Coolest shoes I have ever come across. Period!
+Real Men Real Style m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/magnanni-cortillas-double-monk-strap-leather-shoe-men/3811896?origin=keywordsearch in brown, thanks for answering 🙋
I wear Thursday boots alot. Where you live plays a big part of your shoes or boots you wear. I live where the weather is wet alot I also live in the country. This is why I wear boots alot. I know you say dont wear boots with suits but I do and it gives me that old school early 1900s Pinky Blinders look I like. Great video thanks God bless. 👍
The most expensive pair of shoes I own were a pair of bespoke quarter brogue captoes made by Master Yohei Fukuda when I visited The Armoury in NYC for his trunk show priced at $5500. However, my most commonly used dress shoes would be a pair of MTO Saint Crispins from Leatherfoot purchased here in Toronto. A full brogued balmoral boot in a chocolate brown crust leather costing me $2400.
J.M. Weston's One Cut Oxford Shoe (Burgundy), J.M. Weston's Wing Tip Derby (Brown), Canali Derby (brown), J.M. Weston's Oxford with arabesque design (brown). These would be my most expensive dress shoes that are in rotation, followed by a few pairs of Tod's that I wear for rainy days.
My most expensive shoes? Black cap toe oxford shoes from Undandy. At the time, I bought them for 188 EUR (about $270 CDN). So far, I have worn them once - at a cousin's wedding.
Shoes I wear far more often: my black cap toe - $130 and my brown wingtip - $140 both from GH Bass & Co. My next shoe I wear often: Nike Air Max Tailwind 7 - $94 - I wear this when I'm working out or quick errands. My casual non-athletic go-to shoe is my light brown nubuck chukkas (GH Bass & Co) - $135. I wear this during casual Fridays at work or when out on dates with my wife. I occasionally wear my old-school white canvas Tretorn sneakers when out with friends on a weekend jaunt.
Since I'm just transitioning from the mindset that "running shoes" get the job done, i still have a few pairs of those. A step up from them is a pair of grey street shoes with a closed laced system, after that a pair of Chuck Taylors, and recently bought a pair of suede boots that have a zip on each side. Really need to expand my collection, i know
Chelsea Boots are not good for me. They add height to people and I'm already 6'4. When I wear boots people think I am only tall because of the boots. This stops women thinking I have a big dick.
The only shoe I have to wear with a suit is a pair of black wingtips and I'm not spending the money on something that is just a straight plain dress shoe just to wear with a suit. So people are just going to have to deal with seeing me in a suit with wingtips.
I recently started looking at mens fashion channels, and even though I love Ashley Weston, and every time I want to look for something essential i turn to her, I have to admit that Antonio your channel is the best. Minutes ago I was going to search at what order to buy some shoes and viola, yours was on suggestion below.
Honestly the 2 most expensive pairs of shoes I own are ones I wear almost every day. A good pair of combat boots and a pair of Frye boots for my bike. The best pair of shoes I own, however, is a beautiful pair of chestnut Italian made cap-toe oxfords I found at a thrift shop I paid $20 for. Looking good does not necessarily mean breaking the bank. Spend more money will make it easier per say, but with a little work / luck, it can be done on a budget.
I. Dress shoes : one pair of my country company - loafers II. Boots: 1.Timberland Chelsea boots 2. Thursday Boots Company Chukka Boots in suede. 3. Regular Boots in suede on ASOS. III. Casual shoes 1. Adidas Stan Smith ( I love this shoes) 2. Adidas Pureboost.
I'm impressed! im a huge fan of leather shoes. you are the first to ever recommend and include english shoes. I own J&M, Allen Edmonds, etc but my absolute favorite are by Herring. Church's and Cheney are awsome!
I bought a pair of Crockett & Jones' "Alex" last September in black calf. These are wholecut shoes that were worn in the James Bond film "Skyfall". They were $700, and they fit like a glove. Yes they are very expensive, but I've already worn them many times (some of these occasions I was standing quite a bit). The last is a perfect slim style without being too narrow, they hold a shine very well, and look really good when wearing either a tux or a suit. Even though I can't afford to do this again for a very long time, I am very pleased with them.
when i was a boy growing up in Newfoundland, my grandfather was a labourer on the CN line and he wore a suit and tought me how to sit in a pair of suit pants so as not to ruin the crease. he also carried a home made ( by my grandmother ) shoebag. this was made of old leftover material to carry our good shoes to school and wear galoshes in transit. I do not know how it is possible in a city like Toronto, fully salted all winter long, to dress well on the way to wprk in transit unless one owns a car and has a heated driveway. The only option here is to dress like a slob to work, carry a change of shoes and clothes and make a very awkward trip to a public washroom. What am I doing wrong? I want to live in your world.

Please don't say Jordan's are the most expensive shoes you own ppl lol
A pair of Florsheim Double Monk in black, a pair of Cole Haan lizard skin tassel loafers in cognac, a pair of Nunn Bush plain toe oxfords in dark gray canvas with cognac leather accents and white rubber soles, A pair of Allen Edmond Park Avenue in mahogany, a pair of AE McAllister Wingtip oxfords in Dark Chili and a pair of Rockport plain toe oxfords with lugged sole in cognac.
What's the appeal of loafers? They just look pathetic to me.... They don't exude masculine or feminine qualities. Loafers look similar to how depressed people feel. ...Droopy and incapable
Well over 50 pairs. I believe a great outfit needs great shoes. And I enjoy your videos so much! I've learned a lot about improving my style. Thank you!
Yes, pulled this off well early on. When I was young acquired a nice pair of brown leather dress boots on a charles tyrwitt sale (england, but one of the higher up suit places) When I actually began wearing suits that where not just charcoal grey, advantage of these boots is that they are very plain and just have a zip up the side, so can look formal as well.
Most expensive shoes I have is a brown Steve Madden oxford shoes which I only worn a few times for fancy occasions. Its mostly winter where I live so I wear my dark brown desert boots almost everyday and it look great in everything.
According to Hugo Jaquomet from Sartorial Talks the term balmoral oxfords is a misuse of the word. Balmoral, he says, is the straight line that separates the balmoral boot in the part below the ankle and the part on and above the ankle. Now this line has to be straight to be a balmoral line, sort of what you'd find in the upper edge of a loafer.
RM Willian's whole cut Chelsea boots.around $700 and I wear them every day for the last 12 years I've had these boots. They work really well with suits which you may disagree on but I think it's more of an Australian look than anything else
+Real Men Real Style Made the mistake of buying bluchers for my first pair, buy I took care of them and they lasted me for 4 years. I'm finally going to get myself a nice pair of balmoral oxfords.
Since the 1980s people have been wearing loafers, especially the tassel loafers and bit loafers, in law firms and the banking industry. The perceived “informality” of loafers is akin to the “no brown in town” rule that is honored more in the breach than observance today. The same can be said for the brogues and the Oxford/Derby distinction. If they have any application, it’s only for the most formal of formal situations.
I'm glad to say my most expensive pair of shoes would be my Aldo brown dress shoes oxfords I payed 135 totally worth it I wear them all the time take good care of them they will last and stay in style for a good time
just bought my most expensive shoes today, €200 melik double monks in cognac coulor, absolutely love em and got a job interview at the store i bought them at this monday.
Another good vid Antonio - thanks!For number 6? Something fun is in order. For you guys lucky enough to live in Canada, the B** has Bass Burlingtons on clearance for $45, comes to under $60 with tax and shipping. A beautiful classic tan and navy blue saddle shoe. Mine were shipped fast, and I can tell you are very comfy and stylish. Not too narrow, not too wide. Wore them with a pair of jeans into town yesterday for a haircut, errands, etc. Great for strolling down the, (thankfully), snow-free sidewalks, into the bank, post office, your local lunch spot. Makes you feel dandy, and in this day and age, we can all use more of that.
My most expensive pair of shoes are a sturdy pair of boots, and I use them every day except in summer. Yes if you live in Sweden, you definetly know that you can wear boots with a suit.
