ever since i started wearing hush puppies i haven't gone back to any other brand

I :heart: Hush Puppies. Last two pair were HPs I used to wear Aldo, but they were very uncomfortable and felt real cheap. You get what you pay for I guess.. (my Aldo shoes were only $40 after clearance... I picked up my HP for only ~$120!! They were originally ~$200)

I personally like Timberland oxfords...you can wear them with a suit or wear them with khakis..not the most comfortable shoes but they are very versatile..

I'm in the market for some business casual/black shoes. Where does one purchase hush puppies?

I used to buy Aldo/Bata shoes all the time but they really take a toll on my feet. I figure its worth it to spend more on something I will use so much.

another vote for Hush Puppies

great style, and awesome fit.. Once I bought my first pair of Hush Puppies I never went back as well.. The leather they use has the best feel compared to any decently priced dress shoe I've bought

I think I got my last pair at Sears.. (or eatons?)

i've had my Hush Puppies for over 2 years now and they're still going strong... great investment, by one of the better fitting and comfortable dress shoes out there

Doc Marten with the non-slip soles. Gotta have it when you work in a kitchen.

Are you joking or serious??

Doc Martens are definitely casual shoes, not dress shoes.

Have my pair of Hush Puppies more casual, and Rockport for dress. Cant stop lovin them.

STAY AWAY FROM ALDO!!!!

They kill your feet.

Really? I don't notice that much of a difference. Plus I've found then difficult to break in. Maybe it's the shape of the pair that I bought .. it's a funky looking design. I also found that the heel is wearing down quite rapidly.

The best shoes that I've purchased and continue to purchase are Ecco. I bought two pairs from Rosen for $225 + tax but found them on eBay for a LOT cheaper so I've bought five more pairs. I've also found Hugo Boss shoes to be surprisingly comfortable but these are a lot more expensive than Ecco. If you can get the invite to their private sale, you can get shoes for $120 each. Otherwise, eBay is again the way to go.

I concur! GEOX makes the best shoes!! I was skeptical at first about their patented design but they proved me wrong! My feet can finally breath, especially in the summer time! I haven't worn any other brand since I found out about the store at Yorkdale!

Definitely worth the $$$.

aldo has great dress shoes if you only want to wear them for 3 months before you dispose of them. if you want good shoes that last i would look elsewhere, pegabo is slightly above aldo. if you want to pony up the money go to browns or calderone.

I read that Pegabo, Browns and Calderone and aldo are all owned by Aldo, it's just that each store carries a different line. Does pegabo still exist, the last I heard is that they were closing them all down and converting them to Aldos.
