I've been looking for a pair of professional looking shoes for work. I'm an engineer, so professional is a relative term, but I settled on Birchbury's Bramford shoe, and I'm a big fan.
Pros:
* Great leather, simple unbranded look (small leather stamp on outer heel, it isn't noticeable at all)
* Removable insole, and the shoe isn't terrible underneath
* Relatively wide toebox (not huge, but my toes don't touch the edges unless I try)
Cons:
* There's a tiny bit of toe spring
* The shoe is much more flexible than your average shoe, but not very flexible. It's about the same as my Xero Hana, maybe a hair stiffer.
