For years I only bought Cole Hahn loafers, penny or tassel, but they slipped now that they are owned by Nike or whatever. I recently bought some dress clothes for the first time in a long time -- three suits, sport coat, tux, and most relevant here, three pairs of dress shoes. The tux shoes are Brioni (I think), and then a black pair by Gravati and a cordovan pair by Gaziano & Girling, all lace-ups.
The Gravati pair look something like this:
Here are the G&G pair, except they are in "vintage rioja" rather than this brown color called "vintage oak." Goofy names but beautiful and comfortable shoes.
