Are Bruno Marc shoes good?

I'm looking to buy more fashionable and classy shoes. Until now, I've always worn sneakers for almost every occasion and dress shoes for formal events. But I want to try shoes like these: https://a.co/d/0ed0SEqB As the title suggests, I don't know if they are good or not. My budget is USD $60, but I'm open to more expensive options. I'll be wearing them once or twice a week. I'm also looking for recommendations for other brands or shoes in this style.

Dress sneakers are pretty universally not good They try to be both a fancy shoe and a sneaker and fail at both

I see. So If I want to try that style of shoes I'll just have to accept that they will not last that long? Is there a better option?

given you're wearing them semi-regularly i would invest in a better quality shoe between 'sneaker' and 'dress shoe'

I would suggest not trying this style of shoe because they are ugly

You might like something like a Doc Marten 1461 for a nice leather shoe that isn't a dress shoe?

Perhaps a loafer

both doc martens (or ither derby shoes) and loafers are good options, though in both cases a decent pair will run more than $60 unless you go secondhand

If you must get a dress sneaker there’s better options too Some Clark’s can work https://www.clarks.com/en-us/clarkwood-low/26176868-p Keep in mind I still don’t like these But they’re better

Speaking of clarks though, some Desert Treks or Wallabies could be a good option!
