Gucci and Ferragamo seem overpriced and cliche—have any of you found alternatives?

Was considering these myself, not sure of they are available without tags though

Allen Edmonds: Cheaper than designer brands, well made, recraftable
Made in America
....at a higher price point
besides, does it support American manufacturing?
Most AE shoes are at least partially assembled outside the US. They're pretty good quality for the price but the major British shoe companies run summer sales and that alongside the strength of the dollar meant you could get significantly better shoes at the same price. If you want to max out your quality / price ratio, Carlos Santos and TLB Mallorca are significantly better than AE for quality and pricing is not much more if at all.
Around 500 I would look at Carmina
Below 500, Meermin
500 - 1000 Vass, Gaziano and Girling
1000+ Enzo Bonafe, Edward Green
You can get Bonafe for significantly less than G&G but all the names in your 500-1000+ are great makes. Would add Meccariello, Lattanzi, Scafora, St Crispin, Aubercy, Bemer to those
Mercanti Fiorentini at DSW.
Best kept secret.
Thank you, just ordered a pair

We all know it has to be the gucci horsebit loafer
yes, if you're desperate to impress the American aspirational middle-class at the cost of quality, it's foolproof.
Probably should just splurge on the Gucci's... but Meermin makes great shoes at a first year analyst price point.
