Looking for an alternative to Oree Derbies
https://www.oreenyc.com/product-page/morgan-infantry-lace-up-derby
I like that they are chunky, big heeled, and Vibram soled. However, I cannot front the +$400 price tag. I would prefer a pebble letter or just normal leather (not this shiny leather) but I'm flexible. Is this price too high or given that it's ethically made with good construction, it is to be expected?
Any tips or a discussion on the shoe would be appreciated

quality of items from No Maintenance New York?
Looking to get a jacket from them as I quite like the cut of their garments. However I'm worried about the quality. I understand it's not a Buyitforlife deal but I just want to make sure im not buying a jacket that's no better than a Uniqlo.

Items don't have a description on the composition of materials so I'm a little concerned about that.

SSENSE SALE
Wondering if SSENSE marks up their prices during their sales which is a common sale tactic. I saw some vans old Skool selling at a sale price of $83 but original price is $115. I know vans are only $90 regularly so I wonder if this is same practice for other brands in SSENSE?
