Top 14 list of shoes under $500 for newbies

Yes, he seemed like a nice guy, offered me many special shoes at Alden DTC. Until he got found out.

By any chance, are you a blonde reporter who worked for WCVB..? 🕵️‍♂️

yes. It would be a more meaningful list if, say, the amount was <$300.

Goodness me there's options galore above $500.

Less than $300 would be most of those on the list found discounted. Then again, I also found many makers that begin under $300.

There's more mystery within the lower end shoes with regards to internal shoe components. Exterior leather is also iffy.

I'm just a humble Alden wearer. Made a donation to one of his charity like that developer that donated to Lt. Governor of a certain state.

I probably misunderstood what you were saying but did you basically say that Cavour = grey market?

No, just saying c and j as a brand is under 600 cause there is a retailer offering a discounted price seems ridiculous.

As a brand, the price is what c and j says. Retailers could sell the shoes at 1 cent.

Ealdwine, Leffot, even the Madison ave store frequently requires a special order to satisfy purchases of Alden.

And any one can buy from the retailers.

Not everyone can get $10 EG from eBay. Unless they are size 15

It’s not a discounted price. It’s not a sale. It’s the actual price without vat. That people are too dumb to order from a European stockist and save 20% instead of shopping in NY is a them problem.

Yes, but these retailers don't reflect the brand price. Otherwise everything could conceivably sell under the price.

Too bad for you, this list isn't about MSRP.

there may be options galore but how easy are they to find. There are far more brands under $500 and to list the top 14 brands seems somewhat arbitrary and useless.

when was the last time anyone asked for someone to list their top 14 Italian restaurants? Top 14 movies?

Top 3 or 4 shoe brands under $300.

The list is for those beginning. Not sure how many of them would be in the market for $2000-3000 shoes.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Isn't that the guy who embezzled $30 million? But for him maybe they could offer a shoe for under $500.

That story still kills me.

With a little bit of time and several SF shoe threads later, very plausible. lol

Top 3 shoe brands under $300 is not for Style forum. That's some content fit for menswear shoe YouTuber or influencer.
