Dressabout Shoes

[Rambo66]

Does anyone know anything about these shoes? I'm looking for a comfortable, inexpensive pair of burgundy wingtips to wear casually with jeans and I happened upon these. Your opinions?

I had a pair of blue/tan saddle shoes by Dressabout, and they were quite well made but pretty lightweight, really. A cut above mall shoes but not 'serious' footwear. I'm pretty hard on shoes so they lasted 12 months or so then I wore thru the red rubber soles.

Those wingtips look OK, but I think you may be able to find a vintage or higher quality recent era used pair on Ebay, or even via some persistent thrifting. Even if you had to get a used pair heeled and a rubber sole put on over the leather one, I think you'd find 'em less expensive and more satisfying to wear. I dunno but, as far as formal shoes are concerned, moulded soles just seem a bit odd.
