Consider also Carmina, in my view superior construction and style coming in within your budget. Gucci also classic but a bit overdone and lacking imagination.

Nordstrom rack sometimes has nice Gucci shoes for 4-500, very variable but pre-Covid I found a nice pair that retailed for $730 on website for $399. But imo, the popular designers are overrated and more for the flex. I only bought them as I also got lucky and snagged a two piece Gucci suit from TJ Maxx for $600 😂 so it's my dedicated fancy/flex suit

“Fancy/flex suit” off the peg at TJ Maxx - I’m surprised you don’t work at Deloitte

100 pairs from GAP?

$600 on shoes is ridiculous! Buy a $200 pair and help some people out with the balance - maybe a food bank or kids clothing. There is a lot of hurt out there just now and you could really help someone.

EY1 - love your compassion. But respectfully, here’s the problem with that argument.

Somewhere in your home or around you is something you don’t really need. But maybe it makes you happy? Brings just a bit of joy into your life? Maybe you indulge a friend or loved one with a gift they don’t really need?

And that’s ok. You work hard. You get to decide.

The 600 loafer is to you as the 20 shoes are to someone that doesn’t have any at all.

We have to give each other more space to live and exercise judgment and values without shaming each other.

And in case you’re now mulling, I should tell you I have lots of things I don’t need. And I also am very generous philanthropically (both official philanthropy and sharing the results of my good fortune and hard work with family and others who have not been as blessed). I am more generous than some and not as generous as others. And I’m going to probably always be that, whether I buy a 600 pair of loafers or not.

Where are you going these days that you even need new shoes? I haven’t bought new clothes since Feb

I’ve only bought shoes for more than $200 twice in my life. They were actually ski boots.

Beckett Simonan. Hand made small batch and only around $200. Have 4 pairs. Only bad part is you wait 3 months for them.
