A $400 pair of shoes better be leather soled and with some kind of standardized welting (Goodyear, Blake, hell even hand welted so long as it can be re-soled).
My ultraboosts have continental rubber if that counts
Meh, disposable shoes at that price have little interest for me. I'd rather get the new model Evolv Shamans even though my pair is under a year old.

I guess each to their own haha. I think those look hideous =P
They're rock climbing shoes which have a tendency to be created in vibrant colors. They also happen to be some of the best bouldering / short climb shoes made right now.
Ordering 2 pairs of Allen Edmonds tomorrow.

Dey be my first big boi shoes.
AE makes solid shoes and always a good choice even though their list price is getting a bit high.
Are you getting them on sale? In general, it's good to wait for their sales to hit; either the 2nds sales that happen or a couple other sales that are varied between AE themselves, Nordstrom, and Amazon. Slickdeals keeps very solid track of those sales so an alert could be handy if you don't specifically need them now.
