Allen Edmonds are my beater/non-fashion oxfords. I'm going on year five of near-daily wear with them.
They'll last you forever.
- canes123456 8y agoLeather soles don't last forever, unless you only ever wear them indoors. If you live wear it rains or walk on sidewalks a lot, nice leather soles will last less than rubber soles. Also, you probably won't want to resole more than 1-3 times. I love my nice dress shoes but lets not pretend that they are worth it purely on longevity.
- snowwrestler 8y agoYou can get rubber soles on Allen Edmonds, even their dress shoes. Dainite soles are pretty durable and don't mind the wet.
