If I'm a guy who doesn't care about fancy shoes, what is your guys recommendation for like a basic set of a few pairs of shoes?
I just want to meet the threshold of not turning off girls who look at my feet.
To me, $100 dress shoes are expensive but you guys are spending $400+?
Dang I am really ignorant about this stuff

Can someone give me some advice on which shoes I should buy? I just need a black pair that goes with a suit I have and then I guess some other pair assuming I spend less than $100 on the first
bacan, do yourself a favor and buy a good quality shoe and take care of it. I have a pair of Aldens that are over 10 years old maybe close to 20. They still look great, I don't wear them as much because I have been dumb enough to get nicks in them over time. But I took care of them and they are an investment. Buy a $100 pair of shoes every year (depending on how often you wear them) or a better shoe that gets re-soled every few years and is of better quality and prestige (if that matters to you).
For respectability and decent build quality, at a minimum, get a pair of Allen Edmonds. Nordstrom is having a sale right now on some. Or go to Nordstrom Rack, you can ge AEs for around $150. Or look on ebay AE sells there sometimes (tiny unnoticable issues usually).
Or go to Styleforum.net - guys there are often selling new shoes that they got somehow (legit).
AE would be the minimum, in my opinion. Other shoes wear out fast.
Get a leather sole some AE are rubber - which I don't think allows for re-soling. http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/Rec...0000000001
