URGENT: Dress Shoes Dilemma
Urgent because the deals are going away soon lol. Going to be an S&T intern for a BB in New York next summer. I need to buy a pair of black dress shoes for the internship and want to invest in some quality shoes that could last me a while but struggling to decide. I was looking at Allen Edmonds and...
Thursday Boot Company
Any thoughts on the "executive" Shoes from Thursday Boot Company? For summer internship at MBA level
Any Recommendations on Attire for a Jr. Consultant?
Each time that I asked this question during my recruiting cycle (didn’t matter if boutique, big 4, or MBB) the response was “it depends on what you’re doing.” As you can imagine, that answer isn’t particularly helpful since there is such a wide range of outfits associated with consulting...

Hi All- I'm working on a side project courtesy of WFH and could really use your input. 5 minutes is all I ask (and while I have no right to your 5 minutes, I greatly appreciate it if you can help me out). * What is this project? A new men's shoe brand (specifics being worked on, currently conducting...

Meermin vs. Allen Edmonds
How does Meermin compare with Allen Edmonds as a relatively inexpensive dress shoe brand? Currently own a couple pairs of AEs, but curious if Meermins are a better value at the $195 price.

Any suggestions?
Shoes as a First Year BB IB Analyst
Hey, So I'm wondering if there are any unspoken rules against what shoes are acceptable to be worn and those that are unacceptable. Will wearing Gucci or Ferragamo dress shoes really be annoying to see in the office on a first year? I have no idea what to purchase with my signing bonus. Please...
Allen Edmonds Park Avenue vs. Fifth Avenue Shoes
So I've been fortunate to line up a few interviews, and as a result I've been shopping around for some new dress shoes (my old ones are way too cheap). The 5th Ave line is 230 right now on AE, and a pretty good deal. It looks just like the Park Ave, but with a little decoration on the cap....
Allen Edmonds Labor Day Sale
I have been looking around and have noticed a lot of guys wear Allen Edmonds. I bought myself a pair recently and now receive their emails. Anyway, for those interested, they are having a huge sale for Labor Day on their "Seconds" (Essentially shoes that have some sort of defect). I bought a pair...
How do you break in shoes
Last week I purchased a $295 pair of very nice Johnston & Murphy dress shoes. They fit me perfect as they slide right on. I wore them for the first time yesterday. There is a little slippage in the heel (very little as they fit pretty nicely), but within 30 minutes, I was unable to walk as my heels...
Shoes for work - Tod's vs. AE
Hey guys. So I'm looking to buy a new pair of shoes since I just started working full time. I already have a pair of AE Strands in Walnut, but I feel they pop a little more than I want to at the office. These are the choices I narrowed down to. The Tod's are pricier, but they feel a lot more sturdy...
Dress Shoe Colours
Do Black dress shoes with brown soles go well with a grey suit for work? Or should I stick with black dress shoes (with black soles)?
Dress Shoe Recommendation
Anyone know of some good dress shoe brands that are decent quality but not very expensive? The last set of loafers I bought were shit. Also I'm not a fan of wingtips.
What shoes do you wear when it rains/snows?
All of my leather dress shoes came with warnings saying not to get them wet (even the ones with rubber soles). What shoes do you all wear in inclement weather?
Selling an almost-new pair of shoes that are a bit too small for me
Just got hired in IB in NYC and bought the requisite slick black shoes but after a month have come to find they might be half a sz too small. Winston, To Boot New York, sz 9. Please check out my craigslist post. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/clo/4651317228.html Thanks!
Which of these shoes should I buy?
My favorite shoes overall are the Allen Edmonds Park Aves. However, there are no Allen Edmonds stores near me and not even my local Macy's carries them. I am usually a size 12 but according to AE's size fit guide, I might be an 11 for their shoes. This size difference seems to be the norm for their...
Barker
Hello, I went to the Barker and Loake stores in London today. I tried on this shoe (http://www.andersonsofdurham.com/en/barker-epping) at Barker's. The quality seemed to be very good, but I am wondering if I could not find something more elegant for the same price and quality. Any tips on other...
REAL Dress Shoes for Toronto SAs
Dear WSO , After beating the soles of my old Aldos (yes, back when I was in high school and had no idea about what shoes to grab), I've decided to spend some more cash and get a new pair of shoes and to throw those old POS Aldos away.
Would I make the wrong impression if I wore these Ferragamo oxfords as an analyst?

Are these formal enough?
I am buying dress shoes and because of a weak ankle, I need to wear boots. I am going into investment banking and these will be worn with a suit for interviews, in the office, and networking events. Are the Allen Edmonds Fifth Street boots in the attached picture formal enough for these purposes? Is...
Loafers
What's your thought on these loafers? To Boot NY for $200.
Too young for penny loafers?
I currently work on Capitol Hill which means I have to wear a suit every day. I prefer good old fashioned tasseled penny loafers. They're comfortable and they look damn good IMHO. I'm just a loafer fan in general, probably because I wear Sperry's a lot in the summer. Anyway two of the girls I live...
Fashion Essentials
Just filed my taxes and have a modest refund coming in so I've decided to start building up my wardrobe for interviews and full time work. Where do I start? I currently own a solid blue suit from Macy's and some Rockport's, along with a handful of banana republic dress shirts, so essentially, I'm...
Shoes to go with a blue pinstripe suit
Trying to keep it under $200, interviewing at some mutual funds/ BB firms for S&T and AM . Looking at oxfords - are wingtips too much? No square toes, all brown of course... Any recommendations besides the usual park aves? Zappos would be preferable.
Sperrys
My sperry boaters have started to smell like the inside of an aborted fetus...does anyone know any way to get rid of the smell?
Decent working shoes, trader - London
Hey all, I'm starting out trading fixed income at one of the fein-est (ahem) bulge brackets in London this summer, but much to my horror I've discovered that wearing the square toed (black leather) shoes I've been relying on so far is tantamount to habitually punching babies in the face, when you're...
How are these shoes for banking? Border-line unacceptable toe shoed?
Hi all, I've done my search, and it seems most "square-toed" shoes are very clear cut. But what about these? I'm starting a banking internship, and I'm wondering if these would pass. http://men.brownsshoes.com/eng_ca/product/Shoes-D… Or should I go out and buy a new pair. Something like this...
Brogue Dress Shoes okay?
Are these okay for interviews and the office? http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF5… http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF8… Or should we stick to something more plain?
Allen Edmonds Park Aves. 9.5D - Anyone need a pair?
I have an extra pair. They are still unworn, never tried on, etc. They come with the cotton flannel shoe bags that Allen Edmonds generally come with. They are authentic, factory firsts, with completely clean/unmarked outter soles. Anyone interested? Looking to sell for around $200 +shipping. Open to...
Long days in the same shoes
First off, thanks to everyone who helped me pick out some decent shoes. We wear our shoes for like 12-16 hours per day. How do you keep your feet from sweating and ruining your high end shoes? Thicker socks?
Good Loafer Brands (other than Ferragamo/Gucci level)
Hey Monkeys, I have a quick fashion inquiry regarding good loafer brands for those not ready to buy at the Ferragamo/Gucci level yet. I'm a Summer Analyst at a bank where, as sad as this may seem to some of you, people notice what others are wearing. (Some of you may not believe me, but I could tell...
Bostonian vs Bass vs Cole Haan vs Florsheim
Which of these are good brands that'll last a couple years? I do a considerable amount of walking every day and take the subway so I need something that'll handle the NYC pavement, i.e. NOT leather soles so please keep your Allen Edmonds, Edward Green, Ferragamo to yourself. No man should spend more...
Shoes: Leather vs. Rubber Soles
So I wanted to see what the consensus is about proper office attire. Should dress shoes worn to work always be leather soled, or are rubber bottoms acceptable? Lets bring it to a vote.
