I just need a pair of black oxfords. Mid-range: Allen Edmonds tier

But the thing is, I'm in Japan.
It costs fucking $650 after shipping and import duties to get a pair of Park Avenues here.

Mr. Porter has free shipping and doesn't screw me with customs, but I don't see anything good in that price range. Afaik all the Loakes, Churches, etc for around $400 USD are made in India.

If you know a good black shoe made in the US, Europe, or Japan for around $400-500, please tell me.

meermin might be another option
shipping from spain and import duties might be $$ but they cost a chunk less than AE

I hear good shoes in nipland are pretty expensive in general. The imports suffer from big duties + shipping, and while you have a number of great domestic cordwainers, they're the artisanal type that will run you lots of money.

Florsheim Royal Imperials aren't bad, surprisingly (considering the rest of their line). You have to like chunky wingtips though
