I have a very important meeting tomorrow and want to look my best, so I need some really nice dress shoes that will seal the deal. Where is a good place to go for high quality, but reasonably priced dress shoes?

Kenneth cole?
banana?

Don't be afraid to spend some money on a pair of high quality dress shoes. With proper care, you should be able to wear them for years. However, I would not go to Kenneth Cole. Although they are my favorite shoes, they tend to be more trendy that what you might want for a pair of "classic" dress shoes, and, unless you find them at an outlet store, "reasonably priced" is not a phrase I would use!

Check major deparment stores, like Macy's. They often have shoes on sale, but, even if they do not, you should find a nice selection of high-quality, long-lasting dress shoes.

Pippin, I'm assuming you are a boy? If so...

Allen Edmonds shoes are nice, classic dress shoes. They are a bit of an investment, but likely worth it.

Johnston Murphy makes some nice, classic dress shoe styles for men too.

Never be afraid of spending a few extra bucks on nice dress shoes because you can use them many many MANY times.

I'd recommend a classic shaped shoe from Kenneth Cole. If price is an issue, check out Sketchers. They're reasonably priced, fashionably, and lost lasting. I have a fair that I've warn frequently for over three years and they are still in great ocndition.
