I love a good leather shoe, and I want to own ones that become old friends over time. Finding timeless leather shoes shouldn't have to be a pain, but it's hard to know which brands are genuine and here to stay. I've sorted through and tried out many over the years, and here is the short list of my favorites that you can build out a full closet with. My selections aren't the fanciest nor are they particularly affordable up front, but they are solid quality that you can count on for a long life. You can often find them discounted during sales season (e.g. Black Friday). I've also included a shoe care guide and matching belts list.
