ben sherman boots

[jwied82]

Anyone have any opinions on ben sherman boots or dress shoes? Im generally not a big fan of the brand, but ive only seen sneakers and slip ons in person, not any leather shoes.

Ive been wanting some boots and i found these

for under $50, which i thought is a pretty good deal.

I'm not a fan of the actual boot (sqaured toes I don't like, and I don't care for that pattern on the top of the boot), you could probably do better at a DSW. Plus...they are $150.

Don't buy them, please.

I saw them elsewhere for under $50. Im undecided about the pattern, i could see myself either liking or disliking it if i saw them in person.

I dunno if i could do much better at dsw. Ive looked at places like that, never see anything i like.

Id like to get both a square toed dress shoe or boot and more of a pointy or rounded toe shoe/boot. ideally id like just a good looking classic chelsea boot in a dark brown leather, but i never seem to find any i really like.

I have seen some really nice lace ups at DSW with a slightly pointy toe that were really nice for under $100. You just gotta keep your eyes peeled. If you have money I would buy these: http://luisaviaroma.com/ecnew/Collections/SchedaProd.aspx?Outlet=False&CodStagione=44I&CodCollezione=06P&CodArticolo=6

Im sure i could find alot of shoes i liked if my budget was $600+. i pretty much only spend large sums of money (for me that means $150-$200) on jeans. Everything else i look for good buys/thrift finds.

Ill have to keep a look out at dsw and other places in the near future though.

Same here...anybody can throw together an outfit if they have money. Check DSW often...they usually have some pretty nice stuff in there for cheap...ebay is good too.

[jwied82]

ebay can be daunting when theres so much to weed through!

what do you guys think of these?

I got them at a thrift store for 50 cents and i really think they are some of the best looking dress shoes ive seen. They are kind of the ideal for what i want in something new. I only wear them sparingly because the sole is worn through and im afraid they are gonna fall apart whenever i wear them. They are stacy adams, so nothing special, id guess they are from the 70's.

I won't say anything except you need new laces (they dress shoe kind) because I hate square toed shoes...

[jwied82]

ha, i just kept the laces that were on them when i bought them.

Not sure if they have your size but take a look at these. Yoox always has good buys...
