Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

[Olumin]

I have a few pairs of leather dress shoes that I wear regularly for work and occasional formal events, and I really like their style. However, since I walk about two miles daily in them, they usually last only 4-6 months before showing significant wear and about a year before becoming completely unwearable. These shoes are typically in the $50 price range. I’m willing to spend more if it means significantly improving their durability. Do you have any recommendations for longer-lasting options?

If you wanna give it a try I’d say get a pair of Meermins & get some sole savers and steel toe taps. That should last you years without a single resole while still being reasonable in price. I also strongly recommend using shoe trees, it makes a huge difference.

If you're in the US you can also try getting some Allen Edmonds on sale (or factory seconds). People here sometimes post how cheap they can get them.

Their selling point is to offer Goodyear welted shoes for under €200 but the overall quality of materials and finish is quite disappointing. I'd rather get a pair of quality Blake stitched shoes instead.
