I think clergerie looks the best from all 3. Quite disappointed with this season AnnD combat boots. Can you link me the clergerie boots. I really like the style, reminds me of Maison margiela. Thanks

The tyrolean shoe is much better in rustic material -- suede, pebble grain, etc.

Also those are a weird hybrid, like a Paraboot lake toe sewn onto an Alden PTB. No good.
I think what really made be like the CK is probably that it’s somwhat sleek but blucky. Tryolean shoes looks really good in a different way. I think to way and see if I’ll still like it after a while. Thanks

Only if you are going for a full late 1980s fit and I am not sure why you would want that. I have seen these in person and I thought they were pretty bad. So many better denim options at even the deeply reduced prices.

Thanks. Any examples?

Does anybody have some recommendations for a black leather or suede sandal? Not suicoke....
Ideally something $300 or less.
I want something I can slip on without much effort (so pref no buckles etc, but it's not a deal breaker).
Tried some birks but just didn't like them, although I've contemplated the Rick x Birks pretty hard.

I like the Feit model, but something is off.

And I really like these SLP but can't find any in a 45 for a good price

I should have bought these Prada, but Mr Porter is the only place I've seen them (yes I know they have buckles).

@OccultaVexillum Maybe check out l'artigiano del cuio. Yoox carries them and my wife has a couple pairs from a few years ago. They're solid.

I'd definitely try those for the price and with Yoox returns. But there's no black ones in a 12 that I like.

Soles are too thin.
