Most expensive shoes I own are boots I wear everyday - $125. The dress shoes I own are probably (I forgot) around $30 because I figured in the regularity that I would wear them and the significance of their contribution to those given events. The more money I make and the older I get, the more I consider and appreciate the quality of footwear i own which is why* I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the informative info. Always insightful and interesting!

I have 2 pairs of Allen Edmonds, roughly 350 each, they were hand me downs but fit perfectly

[@MaackyD]

I own 3 pairs of Church's shoes United Kingdom, First pair were a pair of two tone brogues with a white canvas and I wear them all the time, my other pair are brogue boots which I'm starting to now wear as it's getting into season and I also own a pair of black oxfords all ranging between £245-£350, I've only just turned 19 but I value shoes very greatly as I see the potential of wear in the future and I can't wait to look back on them when I'm older!

[@generally_good_guy]

I have a 34 year old pair of boots now on their third sole, but the snake skin is starting to look tired regardless of how much I care for them. Hand made back in the Eighties, they're the most comfortable footwear I've ever worn. I look forward to finding a replacement.

[@power4u977]

I wear double monk straps dual tone (brown and tan) and I simply love them. I also wear them with black trousers. They are so versatile !!!

[@chipblock2854]

I bought a pair of Johnson and Murphy burgundy Oxfords at a thrift store for $9.99. After waxing and buffing I got a nice mirror shine. They look great and are a really great fit. No creases or wear marks.

My first pair is an oxblood double monks, second pair is a pair of black oxfords with closed lacing and a quarter-brogue. Followed by a pair of captain light brown/tan leather boots. And now I am struggling between a pair of dark brown dress loafers and a pair of black Chelsea since it's fall. Both of them are around 250 usd and I only have the budget for one pair of really good shoes. I understand the importance of inventing in good shoes but good finance is also what I look for in being a modern gentleman. Thank you Antonio.

[@joshuafreel8453]

$398 Allen Edmond oxblood loafers. I wear them all the time. Great shoes!

[@DWilliam1]

Most of my shoes(I have 12 pair) cost between $400-$600. Mostly mixture of AE, Church’s and Loake. A pair of very old JM’s and new pair of Cole Haan double monk straps. I have most dress shoe styles and tend to favor Wingtips. That said, the Cole Haan’s are by far my most comfortable shoe(still full leather top to bottom) and yet they are my cheapest pair. I’m going to have to re-evaluate my shoe buying. I tend to agree with most of your picks but I don’t really consider loafers a dress shoe. I favor oxfords like whole cuts, cap toe, wing tips but even a Derby with some nice brogue work can fit the bill. The monk straps are about as informal as I go.

[@didamnesia3575]

Church's are pretty nice. I inherited 2 of their loafers from my grandfather.

+Malaquias Alfaro Cheap is not good, classy shoes that are below $200 lack in quality and only last a couple of years.

[@liamcollins9183]

I recently bought a new pair of brown dress shoes, that'd normally go for $200, but I bought for $60, as they were on end of line clearance. And I have a set of Chelsea boots, that I wear all the time, as they can easily be both smart-casual and formal.

Yes, pulled this off well early on. When I was young acquired a nice pair of brown leather dress boots on a charles tyrwitt sale (england, but one of the higher up suit places) When I actually began wearing suits that where not just charcoal grey, advantage of these boots is that they are very plain and just have a zip up the side, so can look formal as well.

420$ Allen Edmonds Long Branch Wingtip Boots. I wear them pretty much everyday in the fall and winter. Super comfortable, well constructed and i love the way they're aging. My only reservation is the sole is soft and wearing out quicker than expected, correctable when it comes it to having them resoled

[@thomasrones6999]

I say Chelsea Boots FTW! Wear with a Suit = Yes Wear with Jeans = Yes Comfortable, Secure, and Practical - I could probably do anything in these that I could do with tennis shoes I prefer the ones with zippers rather than the elastic stretchy piece. Have the zipper color/shine match belt buckle and/or watch for accent. Most expensive pair = $130, wear daily.... of course that doesn't include my Tech 8's - $430 when I got em.. but I don't think you can count those :P Men have such a limited choice of shoes compared to women... at least in the US that's the case. That being said, I've been in Germany for a few months and there is a much better selection here - more variety, better designs, and better prices.

Great advice and vid, Antonio. I own a pair of black Loake shoes in an oxford style with a toe cap but no broguing. I bought them for somewhere in the region of £200. I've worn them with suits for interviews and a wedding, as well as them being my regular shoe for work every day with trousers, shirt, tie and jumper - for around a year. I don't own another pair of smart shoes, so the vid allowed me to consider all of these styles and characteristics. Thank you!

I have very extremely wide feet, so got fitted for a pair of bespoke E. Vogel's 2 strap Jodhpur. They can be dressed up or down.

when i was a boy growing up in Newfoundland, my grandfather was a labourer on the CN line and he wore a suit and tought me how to sit in a pair of suit pants so as not to ruin the crease. he also carried a home made ( by my grandmother ) shoebag. this was made of old leftover material to carry our good shoes to school and wear galoshes in transit. I do not know how it is possible in a city like Toronto, fully salted all winter long, to dress well on the way to wprk in transit unless one owns a car and has a heated driveway. The only option here is to dress like a slob to work, carry a change of shoes and clothes and make a very awkward trip to a public washroom. What am I doing wrong? I want to live in your world.

The last is a perfect slim style without being too narrow, they hold a shine very well, and look really good when wearing either a tux or a suit.

Real Men Real Style You said you could pair chelseas with flannels or suits, but that doesn't apply for suede chelseas i guess ? How do you combine them (as i happen to have a pair of dark grey ones) ? I did not yet think of pairing them with anything but jeans.

I got a pair of J.M. Weston for £435 moccasins . I got some expensive clothes and shoes (most of them were gifts) and you are right, I dont wear them too often.. Really do take care of them..

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+MRZsiir Nice! When do you usually wear it? Why not level up your style game today by wearing it with your casual wear?

[@MrCooper83]

Real Men Real Style I do wear it.. Once a year. I usually wear chinos and jeans so that pair of shoes just dont match with those trousers. I try to take good care of them by simply not wearing them. I know thats a mistake..

How do you go about remembering all these small style tips to be on top of your game all the time? Any advice, or is it just habit? Cheers for the help as always Antonio!

My first "real" pair was black leather Johnson & Murphy, but I went for a boot due to past issues with my heel coming out of cheap dress shoes so I was gunshy. I shopped everywhere but went with J&M due to the very nice comfort. Others that cost more felt like cardboard inside...

im from Portugal and believe it or not we DO make fantastic shoes at a very afordable price! without going "high brand" na average citizen here can hava a greaT pair of shoes from 60 dollars up! great channel!

About those original chukka boots. The store that originally sold them as seen from the poster you show is Clark's. They have a range that mimics that classic chukka. They are just over £100 so i would advise anyone close to a Clark's to get a pair

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+KamoGaming Awesome! Good catch!

[@freddothewog1]

A pair of R.M. Williams (Rum , Comfort Craftmans) at around $500 (AUD), hand made in Australia - some of the best boots in the world. Thanks for the video!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+freddothewog1 You're welcome. Cool shoes! I bet you get compliments.

Shoes I wear far more often: my black cap toe - $130 and my brown wingtip - $140 both from GH Bass & Co. My next shoe I wear often: Nike Air Max Tailwind 7 - $94 - I wear this when I'm working out or quick errands. My casual non-athletic go-to shoe is my light brown nubuck chukkas (GH Bass & Co) - $135. I wear this during casual Fridays at work or when out on dates with my wife. I occasionally wear my old-school white canvas Tretorn sneakers when out with friends on a weekend jaunt.

Thanks Antonio. The most expensive footwear in my closet are some Zamberlan Vioz hiking boots. After that, I have a couple pair of Ecco dress shoes, made in Europe (Portugal). Keep up the great work.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Paul Dorn What's your take on that brand? I haven't tried Zamberlan Vioz.

$49 Dockers Gordon Cap-Toe black Oxfords work great for me. They look as good as any $150 dress shoe I've seen and they are also more comfortable.

[@wpharding]

Does the black oxford have to be captoe? I rather like the look of a plain to oxford. Can the black oxford never be used in a less casual setting? AshleyWeston.com suggests the oxford as an essential shoe for both formal and less formal (jeans) outfits. Thanks.

[@EV1L21]

Real Men Real Style Antonio can you please do a video about the black and white dress shoes?

[@reezethevampire]

The most expensive shoes I own are actually boots. They are Iron Rangers from Red Wing. cost me about $300, and were totally worth it. I love them.
