Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for summer intern dress shoes that balance quality and subtlety:

  • Meermin’s 101198 Black Calf Cap Toe Oxford: Priced around $200, this is a versatile and durable option that can last for many years.
  • Meermin’s 101340 Copper Antique Calf Whole Cut Oxford: Another great choice if you want a bit of variety without being too flashy.

Both options are well-regarded for their quality and are suitable for a professional setting without drawing too much attention.

You do not need to be spending 500 dollars or even 200 300 on shoes. Just buy a nice pair of black Oxfords for the summer and then when you get a return offer, buy a decent, good pair e.g., from C&J or similar which will last you a long time.

 

Definitely Meermin. Did my due diligence on shoes when I was buying and I’m confident that Meermin is up there bang-for-your-buck wise. 200 for a pair of Goodyear welt oxfords
