Shoes for work - Tod's vs. AE

Hey guys. So I'm looking to buy a new pair of shoes since I just started working full time. I already have a pair of AE Strands in Walnut, but I feel they pop a little more than I want to at the office. These are the choices I narrowed down to. The Tod's are pricier, but they feel a lot more sturdy and are good for when it rains/snows. I feel like I can't go wrong with AE lace ups though. Both shoes would be in dark brown. Let me know what you guys think.

I would definitely go with the AE and get a rubber sole cover attached for the winter. The Tod's look a little too clunky for my taste.

Consumption smoothing is retarded. If you stay in this game for a handful of years, money will be the least of your worries. Live it up, because this is the one time in your life where you might actually have time to spare.
