Recommendations for smart shoes with an edge?
Im looking for shoes that have a slight gothy edge to it but can also be dressed up too
Maybe i could get 1 pair of chelsea boots + 1 pair of chunky dressshoes?
If you have recommendations for brands or any other type of shoe i shoudl consider, im open to it

i’d go for solovair before DMs these days
Solovair doesn’t sell platform shoes, only boots
fair enough then haha, i’d say there pretty nice as far as goth-y shoes go
can’t go wrong with black chelsea boots either
Any brand for chelsea boots that are affordable and decent quality
I have wide feet if that matters
Budget, in numbers would help
Affordable can be pretty different depending on person
If you're looking for chunky dress shoes, Paraboot is king. Kleeman is good, they've nailed the "we have Paraboot at home" vibe. There's a brand called Pellet that has some Paraboot rips as well, their "Macho" model is a pretty good clone of the Paraboot Michael.
If you want some boots with a little more of an artsy touch, check out Moma. Look at their models on YOOX and you'll get them for a good discount
I think we should get a budget before we start recommending Paraboot
I also don't know that I'd call the paraboot michael 'goth'
now guidis, on the other hand

Eh if he likes Paraboot Kleeman has a good portion of copycats for around $200.
I own Paraboot Michaels and Chambord and I own the Kleeman Padror. The Padror is very close.
$100ish budget
yea kinda like that
At that budget you have to buy used or buy dupes of popular styles
viron is a good brand if you like chunky shoes I love the alteir derbys probs my most worn shoe
Hell even the dupes are more than $100 unless you get some really sketchy temu shit
Ebay/grailed/Poshmark is your best bet
Perhaps the last conspiracy on sale
