For $75 I doubt they will be awful for some weekend/bar wear. They appear to be blake stitched. I have a pair of Ted Baker boots that were Goodyear welted that I absolutely love and have been very dependable with nice leather in the "waxy brown" finish. Based on the different construction, though, they were likely not made by the same manufacturer. My boots had a significantly higher retail, if I recall correctly. Not sure if that's helpful at all...sorry.

They are probably too 'fashion-forward' for the most guys here but if you like this design in shoes I doubt you'll find better ones for $75.

Before I knew better, I bought a pair of Ted Baker oxfords, "Stag" model I think. They appeared to be goodyear welted and were made in Portugal.
The uppers were lined with some sort of cloth on the inside which started to disintegrate after several months of rotated wear. The leather of the uppers also cracked. When I put them on now my toes bulge out of the sides of the shoe and the leather is about to rip there.
