Florsheim Montinaro's - Begin Building Your Wardrobe on a Budget
Florsheim Montinaro's cost substantially less than even entry level handmade shoes (Allen Edmonds), so as a young (poor) working professional, I ended up buying five pairs in varying styles and sizes. Here are my recommendations: 1. They fit true to size; they're a little large, but not enough to go down a half size. I wear 10.5 D with athletic socks on, but size 10 D with dress socks. The three pairs of Florsheims I have in size 10 D all fit well; the 10.5 D pair is too large, the 9.5 D pair is too small (same as Allen Edmonds). The single monk strap Florsheims tend to feel the most loose, because there's nothing to cinch down around the ball of my foot. I don't really care for the single monk straps; they look kind of goofy in person. 2. Provided that you polish them, it's harder to tell that these are cheaper shoes when there is no broguing, and if there is broguing (like on the Wingtip Oxfords), when they are black. The Florsheim Men's Montinaro Double Monk Oxford, Saddle Tan, 10 D US is my favorite. The Florsheim Men's Montinaro Wingtip Oxford, Black, 10 D US I like as well, but I would only buy in black. I bought a pair of wingtips in brown, Florsheim Men's Montinaro Wingtip Oxford, Brown, 10 D US, but I can tell that they're not as high of quality as Allen Edmonds (nor would I expect them to be; but the contrast is more obvious). So personally if you want brown brogues, I would save up for a more expensive pair elsewhere. 3. These shoes hold up really well, especially because the sole is rubber made to look like leather rather than real leather. I live in a very rainy city, and I'm hard on my shoes, and so far my two favorite pairs have taken a beating quite well.
