  Nice looking men's boots that will work in an office, but stand up to Chicago winters

  $200 is too low for what you want. I would suggest Koio Fermo which is currently on sale for $255 (Cyber Monday). Blundstones are nice but not resolable making them a 2-3 year boot instead of 4-6. The whole point of boots that can be resoled is to save money long-term by maintaining your boots and resoling them for less money that it takes to purchase a new pair.

  Gift Ideas for My Boyfriend Who Has Everything?

  I like this! My wife generally will give something to open and an experience. Here are a few ideas that are quality on top of the experience: Things I would be excited about if my wife surprised me with, that might give some ideas: 1. Casio G Shock (Digital Black Resin Strap Watch 43x43mm) if he doesn't have one - bonus points if engraved on the back. These are cool, even with an expensive watch collection. 2. Brown Leather Dress Sneakers (Thursday, Koio, or Magnanni) 3. Puzzles (Check out Bepuzzled on Amazon, they are pretty neat) 4. Quality Quarter Zip Sweater (Peter Millar, David Donahue) Things my wife surprised me with in the past: 1. A really nice leather wallet with my initials engraved (Bosca) 2. A Tregor. Allowed me to start smoking meats for my family. Hope this helps!

  What's everyone's go-to sneaker?

  the sneakers i'll suggest won't be cheap but they're designed to be resoled. look up koio, becket simonon, oliver cabell, goral, crown northhampton they're expensive but they're the best ones. if you want something cheaper that's more or less like those but on the budget, thursday boots has sneakers like those. but they're not on par with the ones above mentioned. they're great value for what they are tho. repairable. the leather quality isn't quite on par, except for limited editions and the waxed cacao. i've forgotten some other brands to mention but the ones i remembered are the best ones. these are more of a lifestyle / fashion sneaker designed to be resoled and not athletic type sneakers.

  Non-popular sneakers which will last at least couple of years

  Koio Capri? Leather build so it won’t wear through like textile. Comes in wide sizes. Different colors. They can be re-soled.

  Help me choose, help me find leather sneakers.

  Ah, honestly at $110 per sneaker I’ve realized I might as well just go for some used koio’s or common projects.

  Help me choose, help me find leather sneakers.

  If you want more sneaker and less boot, than KOIO is also great. But very expensive, unfortunately.

  Going to Europe, suggestions for comfortable, not-ugly walking shoes that will last?

  Hard to go wrong with minimalist sneakers. Koio Capri is my favorite. Made in Italy along with a number of other minimalist brands. Super durable and comfortable.
