so i need to introduce some classy shoes in the ole wardrobe...and im really feeling these jo ghost boots(but i'l probably get a shoe version):
ive never worn pointy shoes like this...they look uncomfortable, are they? they look like theyd squeeze your toes in the front...and im concerned about ergonomics of these things cause im getting some orthotics. whats your experience with "pointy" shoes? and if yall wanna post some grown and sexy shoes/ brands, please do, im all ears.

I'd run those things right up an ass.
Will you be rocking these with the previously-discussed ensemble of a black shirt with white buttons and a red tie + khakis?
trend or class ?
haha, the strut never forgets
but peeps i would appreciate some suggestions of "what is good"
I'd go with something simpler and more versatile. You really need to try them on--see how they feel and how they look in a full-length mirror.
No offence, but to me those shoes are exceedingly ugly and on the euro trash/gigolo tip. There's nothing stylish about them; maybe they're fashionable today, but tomorrow they're going to be silly.
Other people have recommended good names for classic styles, but if you're looking for something a little more hip, I suggest Camper, especially their more formal leather soled shoes.
Yeah I have to agree, those are super trendy. Grown ass men should stick to the classics.
You can't go wrong with a nice pair of Gucci loafers. You be able to wear these for longer than '07
believe me.
These are what I rock. They're comfortable as hell, last forever, and don't look like a European nightclub exploded all over your feet.
I always say their is no accounting for taste...
And as far as the price goes, yes they are pricey but
they will last for years.
Damn, fools really just scroll by my shit, don't they?
Did you mention Visvim? All I saw in your post was the wingtip looking shoe with the fabric sides.
Too-pointy shoes give you VD kids.
Visvim are dope shoes, but you can't really rock a suit with those.
They seem like real high end sneakers to me.
Weird. I posted a pic underneath those. It's showing on this side.
I'll try again:
Well I just don't really like any loafer.
I never scrimp on shoes, though: You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to non-tennis shoes.
Regarding squeezing your foot it depends on the quality of the shoe and the width of your feet. I've got reasonably wide feet and did experience some pinching when I bought a pair of shoes with a similar shape to the above a while ago.
Also, always go shoe shopping in the afternoon, your feet expand slightly during the day and something that might feel like a nice fit in the morning may be cramping you to shit by late afternoon.
