I don’t think there’s a group of people who are better suited to discuss comfortable dress shoes. These guys are standing all day and opening doors at some of the fanciest hotels in New York. The shoes they choose will most certainly be solid. Comfort, durability, and support will be priorities. No high-end Italian loafers for these fellas. They’ve got to look put together, but be ready to stand, comfortably, for an eight hour stretch.
So what brands do they choose? Emma Leighton from Footwear News asked eight different doormen and the brands they picked all say the same thing to me: Thick and sturdy.
Here’s where to buy em:
Ecco Shoes | Red Wing Shoe Company | Rockport | Dr. Martens | Clarks
From Target clearance t-shirts, to 43% off Brooks Brothers 1818 line Italian suits.
Linen-wool sportcoats, UK made dirty buck chukkas, and longingly looking (very) forward to fall.
In person with BR's flagship suit separates.
Significant savings. While they last. Which usually isn't very long.
One of the best affordable watch releases in recent memory. Yours to win. Perhaps.
Nordstrom Rack extra 25% off clearance, Billy Reid Summer Sale, Allen Edmonds, etc.
