i'd only buy the real leather boots because those are still sort of good.
for shoes i now have camper loafers, theyre amazing. one year wearing them at least twice a week and they're still perfect

try to find them irl so you can ensure they’re not like fucked up or anything. my understanding is that they started cutting corners on quality in the early 00s by no longer making them in england, they also no longer offer repairs which sucks (as soft noted they do kinda suck now!)
i have 2 pair of docs shoes and 1 sandal and they’re… okay but the wear and tear is noticeable and started way too early (did not learn until recently what detailed above! if i did i would’ve got “vintage” or another brand). if not i would look into other brands

ones i have/had before:
- our legacy camion boots (work w/ any bottoms, owned & loved for 4 years now)
- oree infantry boot (best w/ wider bottoms bc intense toe & chunky sole. they’re like better doc platform boots, tumbled leather more comfy)
- oree morgan/grant derby (best w/ wider bottoms. nice chunky derby, black corrected leather or brown hairy suede choose your weapon)
- morjas loafers (more formal type shape spruces up all outfits, only fit narrow foot)
- horatio loafers (fair prices good quality. range of styles, had the horsebits & liked but took bad care of them)
- timberland 3 eye moc (best w/ baggy bottoms esp pants that taper a bit or huge shorts)
- plasticana gardana clog (my fav shoes ever, like half clog half loafer & quite cheap. size down + get insole. best w/ wider pants)
- adidas bw army trainers (essentially a lace to toe samba, watch out for foam tongue though)
- adidas superstar (put fat laces in them, best w/ anything more baggy/relaxed)
ones i haven’t:
- balenciaga strike boot (super chunky sole combat boot)
- vintage cowboy boots (hunting some myself)
- frye campus boot (high calf square toe boot with a generous heel)
