Before you can say the words ‘holy shit I think I’m going to die in this heat inferno,” the leaves will start to change, the air will chill out, and you’ll be reaching for your jeans and light jacket in the back of your closet.
Fall is the ideal time for looking good because you’re not raining sweat nor bundling up like the Michelin Man. Throw on a button down, a pair of you favorite jeans, and most importantly a nice pair of shoes.
Below I’ve outlined five stylish and versatile dress shoes (all under $100) that can inject life into any outfit. I’ve chosen them off personal preference, price, and customer reviews. I hope you’ll agree.
Kenneth Cole Desert Sun Leather Shoes
Kenneth Cole
Out of over 250 reviews online, these puppies have a 4.5 star rating out of 5. These are what I like to classify as Transformers, meaning you can wear them with both jeans and khakis and they can feel like two totally different shoes depending on whether you dress them up or down. Customers claim they are well-made and comfortable. The only consistent negative is that they get dirty quickly, so a suede protector wouldn’t be the worst idea.
Clarks Men’s Bushacre 2 Chukka Boots
Clarks
Odds are, you have a pair of Clark’s in your closet and for good reason: they’re durable, comfortable and reasonably priced. The suede adds a classy element but the rubber outsole allows for traction and shock absorption, allowing them to take a bit of a pounding. Customers claim they do run a half-size big, so keep that in mind before pulling the trigger.
P.S. They’re also selling for a 20% discount right now so strike while the iron’s hot.
Clarks Tilden Walk Bike Toe Derby
Nordstrom
Now that we’re on a Clark’s kick, let me bring another pair to your attention that are currently running 30% off. These shoes stand out to me as the ultimate wedding shoes. There will come a time in your lives when you’ll spend an entire year going to friends’ weddings. These bad boys pair perfectly with a suit and provide maximum comfort so you won’t tear an ACL on the dance floor.
TIMBERLAND REVENIA CAP TOE OXFORD
DSW
If you’re looking for comfort above all, these Tims should fit the bill. Solid cushioning and good arch support pair nicely with its understated look. I wouldn’t recommend showing up in a board meeting with these puppies on, but they’re formal enough to rock to most 9-5’s. Get them while they’re on sale.
MODERN FICTION Adamson Perforated Cap-Toe Oxford
NORDSTROM
Sexy. You show up to my place in these kicks I may try to give you a jump. As long as my girlfriend is out. Originally $129, these cap toed shoes are running 46% off right now and all reviews indicate these babies are a steal–“comfortable, stylist versality” “even more beautiful in person” and “solid purchase” are just a few examples of reviews from happy customers.
Happy shopping, my brothers.
