Ok, proper dull this one but bear with me!

I want a decent pair of black brogues for work, I'm not quite up for £370+ Church Grafton's however thats the sort of finish I'd like. Simple, traditional with a goodyear welt.

I don't really want to break the bank either but do any of you have any recomendations for a nice solid comfortable pair of brogues?

I have a pair of Grensons in tan, but the last pair in black I bought from M&S (really) fell apart in 5 or 6 months. Massive difference in prices between the two, but I'm looking for somewhere between the two.

I'm wearing Grenson Chelsea boots at the mo. Just went **** over tit in them on the lino floor in our reception area. Nearly did the splits! Hurt my knee........

Why on earth dont you try the Church's factory shop or even their outlet shop at Bicester? Look at the following map.

They're really comfy, but the bottoms just aren't scuffed about enough yet.

I would say

Grensons, Barkers, Loakes, Jeffrey West for a twist.

I have a lovely pair, leather soles and steel heel segs.

I sound like the SS coming along stone pavements

I will second the factory outlet I have had loads of discounted church's barkers etc from the factory outlets. Just get some rubber to stick on the bottom or you will get holes in them.

I went with a pair of Loakes in the end, seems they have upped their brand since I last purchased from them.
