Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
Al, I like the look of the Barney's private label shoes quite a bit generally. I think that like most of their stuff, they have a much better level of taste than other department stores and their private label merchandise reflects that. I haven't looked at their shoes in a long time so I don't know about construction. Regardless, they don't have the cachet of their other brands so they can often be bought for a song come sale time. A post on Styleforum or a similar site will tell you who actually makes the shoes.
I'm not so keen on Cole Haan. I don't much like the newer styles and their soles look increasingly cheap and glued on. I do like the AEs in the picture and almost bought a pair. For the neighborhood of Magli prices, here are some shoes I like: Gravati Heschung Going up in price but not quite stratospheric, I'm very fond of Weston.

Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
DaveR - thanks, good stuff, will def check out your recs. I really don't mind paying a lot for dress shoes, feel like with proper care you get alot of value out of them.
I haven't bought Cole Haans in a while - I bought a pair a while ago (they're pretty much dead now) I liked because they have a Nike air sole, so it was really comfortable. It was a nice black casual, could be dressed up shoe. I just looked at their Fall collection for dress shoes, agreed, not that hot, imo. Ikaika - yeah I just looked at the new fall launch for Allen Edmonds. Very good looking. What do you guys think of the "Manhattan"?  Product link -Al

But a guy I worked with last summer wore some and I thought they looked nice. I also like the ones in your link.

Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
Al, I tend to think AEs have bulbous toes compared to European shoes and when the uppers are plain they stand out more, but those look pretty good for AEs.
