Oxford Gentleman

I paid $300 for these and they make my $500 Allen Edmonds look overpriced. The cognac color is rich and warm, the shape is elegant without being too pointy, and the comfort is superb for a formal shoe. The Dainite sole provides good grip on wet surfaces. Simply outstanding.

The Goodyear welt construction on these Oxfords is the real deal. You can feel the quality difference compared to glued shoes immediately. The full-grain leather creaks satisfyingly when new and develops character over time. I've had mine resoled once and they look better than ever. These are shoes for life.
