Gentlemen - I want to upgrade my brown dress shoes (currently Aldo brand) and curious what brands you all recommend. I’ve heard Allen Edmunds are solid, but open to any recommendations!

Thank you both for sharing!

Look for an Alden dealer. The shoes are handmade in New England, USA. Pricey, but the best built shoe I’ve ever owned.

Seconding Alden. Expensive, but look great and last forever.

Alden, TLB Mallorca, Oak Street Bootmakers, anything on Skolyx

Beckett Simonon’s quality is incredible. There is a long wait to get the shoes after ordering, but worth every penny, especially considering how cheap they are compared to other expensive brands. I have Allen Edmonds as well, and the quality of the Beckett Simonon shoes are on par if not slightly better

I have a pair of loafers and a pair of sneakers from BS. I love both. I have 3 pairs of Allen Edmunds though and I wear them to formal events depending on the suit.

Allen Edmonds, but make sure it’s the leather sole lines made in the US. They’ve started selling some cheaper lines at lesser quality, and it is noticeable.

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family.

I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?
