Not sure where to post this but have seen threads for clothes on B&I before....

Our office has gone fairly casual, i.e. we can wear jeans and a polo. My go to shoes are Cole Haan gray Zero Grand. But they are in need of replacement and not a fan of the new wing tip designs so looking for alternatives. These would strictly be for jeans, maybe chinos. I have shoes to wear with suits, slacks, etc.

Anyone have experience with these Wolf & Shepherd shoes? I've started to see their ads all over social media (I know, not a coincidence) but seem like a similar style. Or any other recommendations?

I'm on my feet quite a bit and just retired a pair of Ecco's that I liked pretty well.

So this is what this board in on a Holiday week? Do you like my new shoes threads?

i like sketchers. especially the slip on types for maximum laziness

Numerous options out there. Most good shoe companies have entire lines in this space. I might hit up a Nordstrom's to see multiple options or check out Johnston and Murphy. The latter has a lot of good looking options like this.

I have a few pairs of Magnanni's but they are expensive as hell. While they look awesome, I would say they aren't as comfortable to wear all day compared to some less expensive options.

Something to wear with jeans and chinos?
Something comfortable to wear all day?
Something stylish?
Something that's an investment to last you decades?

Let me introduce you to the Alden Indy boot. I recommend the brown chromexcel, and go down 1/2 size from your normal size.



I got mine from J.Crew but plenty of other online retailers to find the exact model you want.

Check out Johnston &Murphy. Super comfortable

I like these, but they are a little more on the casual side.

I'd go with sneakers like these.

Allen Edmonds. Have about six pairs in my closet as well as the Cronmok boot in blue and the Higgins Mill boot. Buy a pair and keep it for life. They have a variety of different styles. You'll find something that catches your eye.

Rubber sole Allen Edmonds.

Second this - just got some leather sneakers from them and I love them.

I like the Cole Haan zero grands as well and I'm just like OP, hate the new wingtip styles. Whoever the corp buyers are at CH or Johnston Murphy need to invest in consumer research. Starting to become irrelevant.

For jeans/chinos, I alternate wool allbirds and Nike by You AF1s. Black everything except for the sole and sole on the sides, whatever that is called, which I keep white. It's a sleek shoe.

Not so fast my friend, I love a nice pair of wingtips!
