Tier List of Most Prestigious Shoes
Hey guys, since I grew up in Hawaii I basically strutted around barefoot or in some wooden sandals. I'm currently attending the University of Hawaii and since I'm going to be recruiting for SA seats, attending superdays, networking with the hottest daughters of MDs and whatnot, I need some decent kicks.
Can a fashion-forward guy (or gal) compile an approximate tier list of shoe brands by how prestigious they are?
Hey pretentious and prestigious wasp, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
I'll bite, but list will ignore fashion brands that sell cheap crap at high prices (that includes Gucci sleds). Let's use Mercedes sedans as the benchmark. Get something that will last vs being "fashionable" - I own 10+ year-old pairs purchased in college that are in "C-class" tier below.
C-class (practical): Allen Edmonds (USA), Cobbler Union (USA), Loake (UK), Cheaney (UK), Tricker's (UK), Lof & Tung (Sweden)
E-class (I've arrived): Crockett & Jones (UK), Carmina (Spain), Alden (USA), Vass (Hungary), Enzo Bonafe (Italy), JM Weston (France)
S-class (flexing): Edward Green (UK), John Lobb (UK), Gaziano & Girling (UK), Bontoni (Italy), Paolo Scafora (Italy), Saint Crispin's (Romania), Corthay (France)
Maybach: bespoke [several S-class tier also have the service available]
Where does converse fall in this list?
No opinion - I don't wear sneakers to work.
S, but shit tier
Great list. In my highly subjective opinion, I’d move trickers to E class and caveat that C&J is only E class in price, but is more C class in quality after the acquisition.
You bring up a good point re: C&J... their benchgrade and handgrade lines probably should be in different tiers.
Awesome list.
Amazing list. I would just mention that Carmina is the absolute best blend of quality, look, and price -- perfect sweet spot for purchase. I would also add both Meermin and TLB Mallorca as top-tier “Class (Practical)" options. Cheers.
Wat about Satoni
Garbage
fr? Aight I won't take the time to look into it anymore
Clarks loafers, not sure where it falls on the prestige side of things but really good quality in my opinion
I disagree
Well I’ve had mine for 5 years now, they’ve held up with regular cleaning and treatment
