Our Legacy continue with their fall deliveries at Tres Bien with this seasons footwear offering. I'm not about to tell that these are up to the quality of a Alden or Tricker's shoe, but I do believe they are very well designed and for a lower price, you can definitely accomplish a great look. I don't mean to sound like I'm slagging the quality, as Our Legacy's shoes are still made quite well and are worth the price in my opinion when it comes to their dress shoes. They do however excel when it comes to the aesthetic. Their sensibility in design is so comforting and easy to wear. This fall's shoes include a long wing, cap toe and a worker boot. All of which look quite sharp but I believe my pick of the litter would be the black long wings. Check a shot of all of the models after the link and Tres Bien to purchase.

Look nice, but I'll stick to buying Tricker's
I reckon these come from the same factory in the north of Portugal where all the Clark's and Shofolk shoes come from, so the quality should be in that league. I like the plain shoes, but dislike the vintage "wear" effects.
Speaking of shoes - what shoes would you guys recommend go well with the Engineered Garments look - chambray shirts, jeans, parkas? I have a hard time finding a good shoe to match. I own a pair of Russell Moccasin 3-tones but would like to buy a more refined shoe for the office, something along the lines of Tricker's or Alden. Do they make plain shoes like the Our Legacy one (on the very left) as well, or only brogues?
Thanks for your help
Ryan, THIS is footwear!
^Gravy Car: Both Tricker's and Alden make a pretty incredible range of shoes, and many without brogue patterns. I think Yuketen is also offering good shoes that could answer your call. Leather Soul Hawaii is definitely a shop worth visiting.

I think the Red Wing oxford I recently posted would work great all the above description too.
Not bad on the price the plain shoe comes out to around $215. I do have to agree though, the distressing is unnecessary.
The best brand of the past 5 years from A to Z
Very aesthetically pleasing these shoes just like everything Our Legacy puts out. I've been on the look out for a proper everyday fall shoe like this. I think I'd prefer going with a heritage brand for a shoe in this style from Florshiem, Allen Edmonds, Alden etc. Johnston and Murphy even make a shoe in this exact same style without the little tag at the end. Not hating though cuz I like just about everything OL put's out.
I agreed that the vintage “wear” effect doesn't work. Paul Smith did his right with the DIp-Dye look. (given that the PS shoes are double the price)
opps, after looking at both sites, prices of both pairs are almost the same price.
