Dress shoe burnout — it is bound to happen to all of us at one point or another. Man can only alternate between black and dark brown cap-toe oxfords for so long. The occasional pair of Chuck Taylors might add some much needed relief, but that’s more of a style Aspirin than a cure for what ails us. Where can a grown-ass man find grown-ass shoes for the office that are as interesting as they are appropriate?
English shoemaker Grenson has been making quality leather shoes since 1866, and the Stanley ($268) brogued oxford is a solid choice for your third (or fourth or fifth) pair of dress shoes. The Grenson pedigree means these are built to last, and the classic styling ensures these brogues will look great for years with a suit, slacks, or jeans.
