I agree whole wholeheartedly with the recommendation of Allen Edmonds and Alden. If they won't fit into your budget Johnston and Murphy does have a few higher end lines that are worthwhile, but be wary they make many different lines, and quite a few of them are garbage. I do a lot of walking - I walk to and from my train (rather then driving to the station) and I walk to all of my court appearances in Philadelphia (I prefer not to take cabs) - so I burn through soles pretty quickly. I resole my black shoes at least once a year but I get a bit longer out of my browns.  I have a pair of J&M black captoes that I just absolutely beat up, but I keep having them resoled and keep them in the rotation. They have held up every bit as well as my AEs. I have had a couple pairs of Cole Hahn shoes in the past, but I found that they were not worth the price they sell for. They are an average shoe at best.</blockquote>
