If you want to spend less coin I think ecco is a good quality shoe, and very comfortable too. Also have them at Dillards if you want to try a few pairs on.

No, I have two pairs of Ecco's and they are great when I have to do a lot of walking or standing. But I'm looking for something a little more polished and don't mind spending the extra money to get a true dress shoe for important occasions. [Reply]
Allen Edmonds has some nice cap toe oxfords for wearing with a suite that hold up very well with wear. These two are a little harder to find on sale but they usually do something after Christmas or Nordstrom may include in their semi-annual sales.

There's some great shit on Ebay if you shop smart. I'd rather buy a pair of quality used shoes than some lower quality brand new.
Simply Red, I need some advice. I am changing my stage wardrobe. I have a direction I thought about going, but it's not set in stone.
The problem is, since ~ 1984, I have worn thin lapel jacket/coat/whatever they're called, white dress shirt, thin tie, Levis 501s, loud argyle socks that didn't match (I take my shoes off when I play), and some kind of real "stylish" shoes that I got from Harold Penner.
Well now I find out that people who dress that way are hipsters. I am too old to be a hipster, so I can't dress like that anymore.
Thinking about going with a look like the goofy old guy on Mary Tyler Moore's show that wore college and team sweatshirts.

No, but I am frugal, and I don't believe in spending a lot on belts.
I almost never pay full price for anything. [Reply]
Found this at a local Dick's Sporting Goods in Phoenix. Was on the clearance rack but only the original price was showing for $99 so not sure the total cost. But $99 is a steal anyway. I'll go back and get this retro style jacket if someone wants it. It really was beautiful.
