Non-boot leather shoes
Hey folks. I’m looking at getting a pair of new pair shoes that aren’t boots, but I’m still wanting them to be leather (or a similar material - open to suggestions but not vegan leather). Aside from that, I’m open to and would greatly appreciate suggestions as this isn’t something I’ve particularly explored before. I’m generally looking for something in the Ivy/Prep space but not necessarily a traditional oxford, looking for something with a subtle flare/something a bit different about them. Generally prefer brown shoes.
I’ve had a look around at some options and particularly like the Solovair Gibsons in greasy brown, and the equivalent Doc Martin model. Loafers are something I’ve considered but have tried a good few on and simply don’t like wearing them all that much. Might be that I’ve not found the right one but they don’t particularly interest me at any rate. I’m also not too big on boat shoes or brogues.
I’ve attached images of both outfits I’ve worn of late I’d wear them with and the solovair shoes I liked. Annoyingly I don’t really have specific inspo pics but if I find any I’ll add them. Budget would be sub-£200 and I’m open to buying new and used (though if used would be looking exclusively from places which allow no-fault returns). Unfortunately I’ve not gotten my brannock size done but I’m a 10.5 in converse, 9.5 in ariat boots and 8 in bean boots (though sized down for both, significantly for the latter). Would say I’m roughly a UK10.
