Black and Brown Dress Boots for $90

Kenneth Cole Custom Last Boot – $91.89 | Florsheim Colfax Dress Boot – $87.96

$90.00 is getting kind of expensive for a pair of shoes.  But when it comes to dress boots, finding anything cheaper than that is a chore.  And if you have found a pair of dress boots for say, $70… they’re probably made by Giorgio Brutini, which is a brand that has a tendency to make shoes that smell like gasoline.  Seriously, read some of the reviews of those shoes.  The words “Odor” and “Gas” come up a lot.  Dropping an extra $20 for boots that won’t make you smell like Octane 93 is well worth it.  Here’s two pair that are worth the extra money:

Kenneth Cole slim silhouette + Bicycle toe on brown leather = nice.

Brown shoes are almost always more casual than black shoes, so you can take a few extra liberties with a brown dress boot.  The bike toe on these boots wouldn’t necessarily look right if they came in black and you wore them with a suit… but in brown, they just might work with a khaki colored summer chino two button.

They’d look perfect with dark wash jeans, cords, or chinos and a sweater.  Not a bad pair of modern boots for around $90 from one of the bigger names in the business.

Front, back, and darn near perfect. Just $87.96

Here’s the qualities of a good black dress boot:

  • Can easily transition between chinos and jeans
  • A pointed but not spear like toe
  • Clean leather tops.  Less Stitching the Better
  • Has enough shine that you could wear them with a blazer and tie.

Florsheim’s Colfax Dress Boot does all of that.  And for a decent price.  Would they be even better if they had a zipper on the side instead of the elastic?  Of course… but, at under $90 it’s tough to start getting that picky.
