Nordstrom Men’s Shop near Columbus circle

I never heard of Mr. Porter before reading your post so I don't know who it would have inspired. From the website, it appears to be at a certain price point.

I'd suggest:

Ralph Lauren's flagship men's store at 72nd and Madison;

Burberry

Hermès

JM Weston

Paul Stuart

Brooks Brothers, the main store at 346 Madison Avenue.

Expensive, but I’d check:

Have had some good luck with shoes at Saks Off 5th and Century 21(downtown Brooklyn, not as much UWS)

Haven’t been, but walking by https://www.rothmansny.com/ caught my eye

Might be worth checking out https://huckberry.com/nyc

If you prefer expensive clothing I recommend the stores Marshalls and Dr Jays. For a more average budget go to Xios or City Jeans.

I recommend Stone Island, CCP, Martine Rose, Undercover, Acne Studio, APC,

Alden if you want the best, Allen Edmonds is currently having a summer sale so you can get a great pair for less than 300.

Meermin is the best value for the money. I own several pairs.

DSW among others that may be in your preferred area are recommended by Where to buy Men’s Dress Shoes from 3 months ago.

I always get the rubber bottoms on my new shoes. So much better. My guy is a craftsman. They look like they came that way. Work of art.

John's Shoe Repair 30 Irving Place

I keep going there no matter where I live. Worth the trip.

He also does dog leashes in case anyone needs a fix. Loves dogs

If they're expensive or one of a kind, Leather Spa. Multiple locations.

I've never had a problem with a generic, neighborhood cobbler. If these are really expensive shoes I'll defer to others, but if you're just trying to get your average joe Allen Edmonds resoled, any cobbler should be able to handle that.

You can also ask about toe taps if you need to add some extra layers to specific areas of a worn-down sole.

Jim’s on E. 59th

Luxury shoe repair place needed asap! from 5 days ago recommends Leather Spa and Vince's Village Cobbler among others.

Super Runners Shop! I love the Midtown East location

everyone might say Fleet Feet but my experience at the Brooklyn store kinda soured them for me.

I love Brooklyn Running Co off Atlantic Ave

I feel like everyone says Brooklyn running co… and I wish I could recommend them personally but I feel like they are always just trying to sell me the shoes they struggle to sell when I go there (as if they’re trying to clear stock)

This isn't the answer you're looking for but you're likely best going to a physical therapist who specializes in runners (Finish Line, MotivNY etc.) They can look at you run, see how you strike and recommend shoes that would be best for you. I've been to several Fleet Feets and Brooklyn Running Co and find that the guidance there is a hit or miss. Everyone seems very nice at both and I purchase items from both stores but not everyone knows what they're talking about and it can be tough to know what's correct/incorrect.

Fleet feet 72nd & Amsterdam

My wife swears by New Paul’s, Broadway between 111-112. She just had a tricky resoling done there, turned out great.

Not local, but very much a good US company that makes high quality stuff is Allen Edmonds. Not sure if there are good local places tbh, sorry.

I don't understand why people are quick to say that Rochester is a desert in many categories. These came up in a quick Google search: -Vittorio Menswear & Tuxedo -Jack Green Men's Shop -C. Anthony Men's Shop -Adrian Jules Custom Clothing

You’re not gonna find anything brick and mortar that carries anything worth a damn, but if interested supporting somewhat local, I would recommend Parkhurst shoes. They are still manufactured in Buffalo and our high-quality stitched sole construction, full grain leather shoes, which can be resoled at a local shoe repair shop when they wear out after several years. They roughly compete with a brand like Alan Edmonds I know is sold at. Von mauer.

Maybe my biggest grievance about NYC. This used to be a shopping mecca. People would visit just to get stuff you couldn't find anywhere else. What was fashionable in Seattle in 2005 was what was fashionable in NYC in 2000. Now everyone is in a basic bitch grub regardless of location.

There were small clothing stores littering lower Manhattan. W 8th street was where you got dress shoes (dozens of stores on couple of blocks). Broadway in Soho for sneakers. Williamsburg for vintage and limited run lines. All of these stores were fully independent. All long gone. Now you have same chains you can find in San Antonio.

Even Century 21 folded. It's a shite state of affairs and you can tell. New Yorkers dress like shit now. You can't even tell who's a tourist anymore! ^we ^all ^are

90% of what I own is from TJ Maxx or the clearance section of a high end department store.

Uniqlo and Muji :)

I remember we used to make fun of eurotrash stylings from Dieter from Frankfurt ja. Now eurotrash you find on Brooklyn bridge are the sharpest dressed in town. gah!

I also forgot all the bohemian shit options you could find in East Village. Even the smelly hippies and gutterpunks are in Uniqlo uniforms now.

The Chelsea Goodwill (25th west of 6th, but double check that), DSW, Target, Target

DSW, I think there’s one in Pasadena

It's expensive but allen edmonds is having their anniversary sale right now https://www.allenedmonds.com/

They are 100% worth it if you wear dress shoes often. They are actually comfortable and they can take a beating.

IMO, since you have big feet, youll benefit a lot by going to the store and getting your correct measurements in length and width. I have horrible feet, always thought dress shoes were the worst until I got properly fitted to a nice pair of quality dress shoes.

Nordstrom's Rack has larger sizes!

Glendale Galleria, tons of options

men's wearhouse in the mall.

Rego Park in Queens had a good variety a few days ago

I went to 3 recently, on 25th, 100th, and 23rd. None had anything good.

I had found some jerseys at union square, but you need luck. Bad thing its full of people, good thing is because there are lot people they add stuffs all the time
