I'm not up with all this dandy talk about shoes. If you want a good pair of dressy boots that can be worn every day I'd recommend a nice pair of RM Williams riding boots. Excellent quality and they come in a variety of leathers. But they are boots, not shoes/loafers/whatever.

No, I agree, you want craftsmanship for that price...esp in formal type shoes (i.e. not Converse)...
I think this is just indicative of impending world doom and a zombie apocalypse; quite frankly...Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Well see you have to remember Carl that at the moment 250 USD is worth about 20 AUD, so we are talking some pretty bargain-basement shoes here....

Yeah, I know, it's cool isn't it? We've been undervalued for years...But now you can hear the thunder ...

Hey Jimbo, after the uggs abomination I ain't taking no footwear advice from down under
But Allen Edmonds is basically the american equivalent of RM Williams - old timey company making pretty standard and boring shoes, but that's what I want. Otherwise I may turn into american and be wearing trainers, slippers, white socks... <shudder>

I got some well made footwear, Aussie made Redback elastic sides, and they look somewhat distressed after some years roaming the paddocks. I'll sell 'em to ya cheap if ya like.
