Budget?
300 is like absolute maximum I think less would be nice
Also if you have a recommendation way above that and I like it I will try to find used
The exact shoes you posted are like $200 but you’d have to proxy from Japan so ad shipping and stuff and sizing can be hard
Yeah ik but idk how tf to order from japan and also for shoes I like trying stuff on
Yeah proxy is easy but the sizing would by concerning check out arts recommendations
I dod already. Jaques whatever has nice stuff. Paraboot probably too expensive
Secondhand paraboots could be an option
Check out camperlab and adieu
Kleman
For paraboot alternative
Paraboot secondhand runs in that $300~ish range

These are nice indeed. But idk how I like loafers generally

Those mountain light ones are like better timberlands lol
they don't really wear like timbs
style-wise they're more outdoorsy and less work boot
they have a very different look from the top with the laces
Yea they're very much hiking boots rather than working boots
