Anyone else find cork-sole dress shoes (like Allen Edmonds) super uncomfy? They say it takes time to break them in, and after two weeks of wear they are still uncomfortable. The soles hard as rock...

Yes. I have 2 pairs of AEs and to this day do not find them as comfortable as shoes at a fraction of the price.

It's been mixed for me. My Park Aves are phenomenally comfortable. My Strands kinda suck.

I bought Cole Haan for a while, but found consistency to be seriously lacking. The same shoe would fit completely differently and the quality started to decline in the last few years. I have bought a few pairs of Jack Erwin (online) and been very happy. They seem to hold up well over time.

Any solutions? Thin insoles?

Other dress shoe brands you recommend for under $300 a pair?

I do Johnston and Murphy and they are always super comfy! Not super high end but love them

Never buying another pair of AE's. Least comfortable pair in my closet. Sticking with the 0Grands from cole haan

What does bench life look like for you?
For me a typical day looks like this
9 am- sign in and check emails
930-11 : look for a new job
11-2 lunch and nap
2-3 : sometimes meetings, mostly begging people for billable work
3-4:30 - proposal work if I have it or more job hunting
5-9pm family time and dinner
10-3am - netflix, videogames, cry myself to sleep
