where do you live?

These are driving mocs. You wear them to drive car not walk in.

>>12757826
Aldo....who says you can't make shoes out of Elmer's glue, spray painted McDonald's burger wrappers ...I mean "faux patent treated textured propritary polymaide blends" and that cheap post office polyester twine that's given out for free

>>12758291
I live in Houston. It's boiling, so I'm looking for somewhat lightweight shoes.
>>12758296
Oh. Well they look good enough for walking to me. Should I not get either of them?
>>12758302
I know Aldo probably isn't the best in build quality, but they're in my budget anon

>>12758430
Sure you can walk in them, they just aren't that great or durable.

>>12758501
What would you recommend then? I've been leaving toward suede shoes of this style.

>>12758302
LAMAO

>>12758734
Proper loafers and preferably not by aldo

>>12758430
I live in Houston too.
Wanna hang out

>>12758885
lol maybe, but I have classes mang
>>12758819
What brand do you recommend? I went with Aldo because of the price range.

>>12759001
oh, well i doubt you'll find anything decent, or at least what i would recommend, at that price point. then again i'm not familiar with american brands anyway. you could look through ebay: factory seconds and lightly used

>>12759001
i have classes too we can hang after where do you live

>>12759001
also are you in high school or what :)
how old are you boy

>>12757823
Just get sperry topsiders. They pretty much never leave me feet during the summer. Granted that's New England summer compared to the hell that is Houston, but they'll look """fancy""" and they're nice to walk in.

>>12759039
walk into a saint laurent store wearing those and look at how people judge your clothes.

>fancy

>>12757823
If by fancy you mean formal, you're pretty much talking about oxfords, which come in many styles. If you're talking semi-formal or are open to boots there are a lot more options.

What are you planning to pair these fancy shoes with?

>>12759073
Idk, desu probably a tee and some pants, maybe a button up. By "fancy", I just mean something slightly more formal than some sneakers.
>>12759035
I go to UH you dork :), I'm 20

>>12759030

They look good for walking, but I guarantee you put more than 4 miles on those shoes on concrete and the rubber nubs on the bottom will be completely worn off, and you'll just start tearing up the leather

t. I bought driving moccasins, walked around in them, and the bottoms lasted about a week.

>>12759141
Damn. So what durable suede loafers/moccasins are there at $80-$130?

i dont feel like reading this thread, but if you walk around in driving mocs you look like and are a faggot

>>12759141
Minnatonka makes moccasins in that price range that have normal bottoms. Try "the camp moc" or "the classic moc"

>>12759260
If you change your shoes to go drive you are a faggot.

>>12759437
Easy solution: don't buy fucking driving mocs

>>12759117
Ok, so your looking for everyday footwear that isn't a sneaker. Presumably you want something versatile. What style pants do you wear?

>>12757823
look for 2nd hand yuketens on ebay or grailed, seen pairs go below 150 before

>>12760165
Still, boat shoes are not fancy by any means.

Are there any artisianal shoemakers in America?
At that price point in Europe you can get MTO.
Detail quality is usually somewhat lower than the expensive brands, and something of an unknown quantity, but if you can accept something less than perfection you can get a lot more shoe for your money.
