Allen Edmonds makes their shoes for gentlemen by hand right here in the USA. They are stylish, distinctive and crafted with an eye to perfection. Both casual and business styles are available (and belts, too). A few years ago, I watched an Allen Edmonds craftsperson carefully cut and stitch the most beautiful, supple leather into a fine dress shoe. I bought that shoe, and I've been buying Allen Edmonds ever since. They are my favorite brand. And they last forever -- if you Allen Edmonds shoe starts to show a little wear and age, stick it in the mail along with $95 and they will take the shoe apart, refinish it, put it back together and return it to you in nearly new condition!
