Frequently Asked Questions
How long should budget dress shoes last?
With occasional use (1-2 times per week), quality budget dress shoes should last 1-2 years. Daily wear will significantly reduce lifespan, potentially requiring replacement within 6-12 months depending on usage conditions and care.
Can I resole budget dress shoes?
Most shoes under $100 use cemented construction that makes resoling impractical or cost-prohibitive. The resoling cost would often exceed the shoe's original price, making replacement more economical than repair.
What's the difference between oxfords and derbies in this price range?
Oxfords have closed lacing systems and appear more formal, while derbies have open lacing and offer a slightly more casual look with easier fit adjustment. Both styles are appropriate for business environments, with oxfords being preferred for very formal occasions.
Should I buy synthetic or leather at this price point?
Genuine leather is generally preferable if the quality appears decent, as it typically breathes better and develops a more natural appearance over time. However, high-quality synthetic materials can be acceptable if the leather options feel plasticky or poorly finished.
