What do you get from $300 dress shoes Johnston and Murphy Shoes on the Rails It’s no surprise that buying $300 dress shoes will provide higher quality than other budgets like $100 or $200
At the same time, you’ll get worse quality than if you’d spend less than $500 on men’s shoes
In fact, a $300 budget is the upper end of the $150 to $300 price range for mid-range shoes
In this price range, you should be able to enjoy several advantages in terms of leather quality and craftsmanship
In this section, we’ll examine many of the features of a $300 dress shoe
Goodyear Ribbon Goodyear-Welt-Shoe-Construction-Graphic While this feature is uncommon in shoes under $200, it should be more frequent in this price range
In fact, you shouldn’t expect less unless the shoe has other distinguishing features
Simply put, welding is the method of attaching the sole to the upper
Particularly cheap shoes will have sticky soles, bonded with adhesive
As the price of a pair of shoes goes up, there is felt where the sole is sewn to the upper
The first stitch you’ll come across is the Blake stitch, which includes variations such as the McKay and Rapid methods
These are durable and allow you to put back on the sole
However, as mentioned earlier, Goodyear welts are the best
In addition to being more time-consuming and expensive, this technology is also more durable and waterproof
In addition, the Goodyear Welt allows the sole to be changed as often as needed
Therefore, these shoes may be cost-effective because they can last for decades

genuine leather upper Once you reach your $300 budget, the kind and type of leather used to produce dress shoes will be of better quality
Instead of using leather near the bottom of the hide, producers started using leather near the spine
These areas create thicker, more elastic skin and retain its shape
Additionally, you’ll find high-grain leather derived from the outer layers of animal skins
This leather is made with the finest grain

SOME OF THE BEST SHOES MADE OF LEATHER IN THE MARKET: At the height of the luxury trainer craze, many in the fashion industry questioned if formal shoes would ever recapture their former allure
Then, a worldwide epidemic made them practically null and invalid
Oxfords, Derbies, monk straps, and loafers have returned to their due position at the top of the footwear podium since they were not omitted from the seasonal menswear cycle
And the designs have never looked better
In 2022, no patent leather shoe will be left unpolished, regardless of whether you’re returning to the job in style or if rescheduling weddings are filling up your itinerary
In fact, you will never be without an occasion to wear a pair of formal shoes, which is why every guy should buy at least one decent pair of black leather shoes and one good pair of brown leather shoes (though this number increases exponentially depending on which GQ staffer you consult)
