I'm looking at ECCO Helsinki Oxfords @ $125.00 as the salesman swears by them.
Anyone on here have experience with a quality $100-$150 dollar oxford?
Red Wing. I have seen their dress shoes (wouldn't look out of place on Wall Street) that were quite comfortable. They were also OSHA-approved nonskid, safety toe and puncture-resistant.
Failing that, think outside the (shoe) box: a pair of good (black) boots.
I purchased a pair of Redwing postman's they are black, take a nice spit shine and are comfortable. I do a lot of trade shows for my business and they are all day comfortable. They have an oxford and a chukka I got the chukka.
These should last me 20 years or more with resoling.
Redwing brought the heritage collection out and they have some really nice looking stuff!
Heck even the moc toe oxfords will take a nice shine and look good with slacks or khakis
