I'm looking for a pair of suede wingtips to wear with chinos. I've done a search and a lot of recommended shoes are no longer continued to order so I thought I'd make a new thread for current models. I'm hoping to spend less than $200 because I plan to wear them quite often (does that even make sense?).

Anyways, I've found some and was wondering which one you guys would suggest (why and why not).

Herring Reading
$152

Herring Richmond
$184

Loake 202 Brogue
$152
http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/product-info.php?&shoeid=4051&colourid=229&brandid=7




I'm in the U.S. so will ordering from this website work?

Edit: I just noticed the 1st pair aren't wingtips but are heavily brogued so they are in the same ball park enough.

FAIK, herring offers worldwide shipping and I have heard some compliments regarding their services, so I would order from them if the quality/price is good.
of course you have to know your size in they brands.
from my very limited experience, loake capital last is a little roomier than EG 82 last in the same size, hope that help!

$150-$190 shoes with Goodyear welts.

Sounds pretty good. Anybody have experienced with their quality?

So I ordered the 3rd pair and it arrived yesterday. The toe is too round and the width is a bit wide so looking down at the show, it does not look as sleek as I like. So I am returning them. The quality seemed fine tho. Too bad it wasn't as narrow and sleek looking because I am quite skinny and wear tapered pants.

The hunt continues...
Any other suggestion?
