I'm looking for a pair of dress shoes to wear with a suit. One Store I went to told me that the more square front was the way to go. Another store I went to told me to go with the more traditional pointed type of toe. With little experience in professional dress, I'm at a loss as to what I should do. I will probably use them in a job interview in the near future. Thanks for any information.

Men's fashion tends to be much more staid and stable than womens, hence we get a bit more mileage out of fewer pieces. First, they have to fit and be comfortable. If these will be your primary dress shoe, then black leather with little or no "trim" such as buckles or metal if it's a slip on, will serve. I've always perfered a lace up shoe for formal wear, but if you're going to wear these on business trips, lace ups are a pain at the airport.

Rockport Dressport are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They are light and flexible. With these you can stand and walk all day. Compare them to others when you go try.

I don't know if its in fashion but I like a nice understated black dress shoe. I don't like the square front style.

I have a set of Rockport top siders that are extremly comfortable. I wear them everyday almost because I like them so much! Much better then Sperry. I checked out their dress shoes and they seemed nice, as well.


Depending on your budget you can't go wrong if you go to a real high end store and have one of the shoppers pick out a popular style that works for you. Just be ready to spend $500 on shoes.

Perfect to wear with the orange fur coat and green fedora.

GO with the rockports they are good comfortable shoes and will last a while. I know this because i work at a high class hotel and have to dress for work. I don't care for the square toe . I tend to go for a not to flashy style. DOn't want too much attention to your feet. But rockports are good.

Dress shoes always annoy me... those square shoes look really dumb, and the pointed toe ones look like clown shoes at size 13

I am grateful to be a mechanic.

Last interview I wore a Target polo shirt, clean dark Levis, and Dr. Martens, arrived by W126. Outshined the interviewer who was in cargo pants, hawaiian shirt, flipflops, and driving a 1970 Beetle, wouldn't you say?

Above average income and the work clothes arrive every Friday morning, clean and pressed. Glad I'm not, pardon the pun, in your shoes.

I will be interviewing with accounting firms for the most part. I like the idea of making a good initial investment, despite the cost, especially if it get my the job. So, how picky is the accounting profession with reguards to dress anyway? Thank for any information.
