A shoe like this?

[Andy v]

i've come to really like these zara shoes, but the quality is not all that and they are pretty battered, so i'm looking for something else to replace them as they've sold out. What i like about them is the sort of narrow, yet not too pointy, shape and the slim sole.

Any suggestions?

those are pretty nice. first thing that pops in my head is the clark's desert boot.

Those are fucking sexy. Real Sexy.

mannnnnn.

i work @ zara and i've tried that shoe on so many times. something about the size of my feet makes me look like i'm going to tip over. the shoe is very slimming and makes me look like i don't have feet left.

but those are very nice. clarks aren't quiet like them unfortunatly

what size are you by chance? i THINK they're on their final markdown to 40 bucks.

I'm interested, too. Size 11

I have several pairs of Chukkas that look like those including ones from Hugo Boss and Coach. Most decent brands have made a pointed toe chukka at one point or another. Check out the Clark's desert boots, and the newer Clark's Metro Grooves.

Charles Tyrwhitt also has chukka boots on sale right now for $115:

But yeah, Zara is having a huge sale and I saw those ones you are wearing there last week for really cheap.....

Polo by Ralph Lauren. I have a pair of bench-made suede boots that look just like that.

But at $600 a pair you aren't really giving him a recommendation "similar to Zaras."

i know there aren't any size 11's for sure. they look really great in those pics however... i'm going to have to give them another chance...

paul smith probably got some shoes that look similar atleast.

[Parker669]

[therealcas]

I got mine thrifting for $25.00. Sooo, I guess I recommend for him to go thrifting. Or eBay.

But, you're right Zara can't touch Polo. Not a fair comparison.

From the sounds of it these are probably out of your price range, but they're really nice (although a bit pointier than yours), and skinny jeans fit over the top very nicely.
