I was looking at the Samuel Windsor Prestige Oxford for an entry level shoe I could wear in the City. Has anyone had any experience with these shoes? If so, what is the quality like?

I bought some a couple of years ago but sent them back, shite quality wouldn’t recommend.
Ahh shit, really? Are there any you would recommend as a better alternative?
Allen Edmonds or Aldens. $200-$700 depending on if there’s a sale or factory seconds. Definitely worth the money considering if they ever wear out you can get them re-soled for cheaper than a brand new pair of shoes.
Depends on your budget - around the price of Samuel Windsor try Ted Baker, usually on sale around that price.
They're very cheap and so is the quality. As an intern years ago who was on a budget, splurge for cole haans or the like and get something which lasts until you can start thinking about upgrading. Well worth the financial bite which I completely sympathize with. Also if you're within distance of an outlet mall, stores like Allen Edmonds may have some gems which you can get on the low.
From my experience, a good guide:
Jones Bootmaker are your most basic (maybe for interning or MO/BO roles)
Loake (solid quality for analyst 1 level)
Grenson (better quality for analyst 2 above)
Chruchs (best quality for associate and above)
Of course if you can afford a few pairs of churchs, go ahead but I view shoes as an investment. I was given a pair of churchs as a gift and they lasted me 5 years before I got bored of them
Thanks very much for the advice guys, I'll be sure to avoid the Samuel Windsor's then
Styleforum is a good place to ask about shoes. General tip - anything that has the word prestige in it is bad quality. Just like any restaurant with the word gourmet is trash.
