Decent shoes

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Now I'm in my 50s I thought it was time to ditch the Adidas Originals as a constant and smarten myself up a bit. After a really smart pair of shoes to wear with smart dark jeans and a shirt for going to pubs restaurants etc when they're back open that is. That being so got my eye on some Allen Edmonds 'Strands' but at £350 they're a bit on the steep side. Not sure on the sole either. Might need to go for a dainite rubber sole rather than the leather as per the Strands as leather soles are slippy as fuck!
Any ideas shoe fans?

Astorflex, Clarks, or Red Wing would be my recommendations.

Pretty much only footwear I buy these days (for work or play) is Dune.

Fantastic shoes, both work and casual - as well as really smart and funky trainers.

RED Wing is a non-starter!

Prefer classic British made shoes such as Church's myself. And leather soles not rubber.

Just ask @Two Gun Bob. He hoovers his massive collection of footwear.

Ffs, you're only allowed out once a day for exercise - what f***in' use are brogues?!? ;-)
Maybe when this madness is over, you could look at some Loake 'Royals' in oxblood. Mr Weller would approve.
