A nice-looking pair of Julius Marlow shows from Amazon, with quite good reviews. RRP $149.95. Available in black or brown/tan, with most of the advertised sizes (US 7-14) having black +/- brown available at time of posting.

My previous pair of Julius Marlow shoes lasted about 3 years with daily wearing, so not a bad run, although by the time I decided to replace them, they were cracked, chuffed, scratched and the side stitching was coming apart. They’re not known to be the best or longest-lasting pair of business shoes, but at $49, I reckon they’re worth a shot!

As usual, don’t forget cashback!

    One look at the sole tells you this shoe isn't worth it - looks bloody slippery!

    • brian77 on 17/02/2020 - 22:33

      The description states it has a rubber outsole; there is a review on the Myer site which suggests the rubber outsole improves their longevity, presumably making things also less slippery, although not specifically mentioned.

        Not the material I'd be concerned about - its the lack of treads

      This is my biggest pet peeve with dress shoes. It's like they were designed to go ice skating with.
      Have you tried any which have good grip?

        you can add grips.

        My previous pair of Julius Marlow’s (I think the style was ‘Honest) had good grip (they’re the crystal sole ones).

        I buy a pair of business shoes every 2-3 years; the current ones I’m wearing are Florsheim Carl, which also have good grip and look very stylish; have been wearing them for about 6 months and would highly recommend.

      Worst shoes ever. Not worth $4.99

        Is it an actual decent brand made in China or generic Chinese crap with a brand name slapped on it and marked up 10x?

          Terrible brand, some JM products despite having the 'leather' tag are actually Pig Leather.
          try getting compliance checks in a large manufacturer like that

          Julius Marlow make a decent shoe - certainly not the best of the best, but not crap either.

                  Maybe I can just learn to do my tax returns properly and save some cash there to buy some sweet shoes?

                    Clearly my post asking you to abstain from Junk Food has hit home for you to stoop so low.

    Is it suitable for someone who has wide feet?

    • brian77 on 17/02/2020 - 22:54

      I find Julius Marlow tend to be on the wider side in general, but best to try in-store to be sure

    Found Julius Marlow to be of poor quality (would only get ~1year life)…. In fact they were the last pair I ever owned before I saved up and bought a pair of handmade shoes instead for ~$380. Comfiest shoes I've ever owned and lasted 4 years now, still going strong (and when the sole wears, you can easily get it replaced). No deal for me.

  • BargainHunter55 on 18/02/2020 - 00:40

    Always see this brand in shoes stores in the city and they don't look too great for their prices… Really flat insoles aren't comfortable at all. At $49 looks okay but I prefer comfort over affordability when it comes to business shoes!

  • BangkokBreakfast on 18/02/2020 - 07:46

    Good deal OP

  • inittobinit on 18/02/2020 - 08:00

    Think we need to get across that all these brands are rubbish quality.

    Julius Marlow, Hush Puppies, Windsor Smith, Aquila, Florsheim, Blaw, Wild Rhino, Kenji etc.

    All the regulars you find in myer/DJs and lined in shopping centres.

    They're all made to absolute lowest spec possible and all worth about $50-100 a pair.

    The key to buying these is accepting they are rubbish, getting roughly 12 months out of them pain free and not having to worry about maintaining them before buy a new pair every year.

    We don't make good quality dress/work shoes/boots in Australia, not anymore.

    Couple stragglers like Rossi/Baxter/RM Williams who make a handful of shoes here, or import the goods and stick them together here in the $250~ (Rossi/Baxter) bracket that are constructed better than the above. RM Williams in a similar vein but prohibitively priced since bought out by LV.

    • PAOK11 on 18/02/2020 - 08:53

      Trent Nathan is fairly decent

      • nobby148 on 18/02/2020 - 10:41

        Trent Nathan is terrible quality its a house brand for Myer, made in the same factories as other Myer house brands. Also Trent Nathan will be discontinued very soon Myer is reducing the range significantly.

        • PAOK11 on 18/02/2020 - 11:03

          Have you actually owned a pair? They were the only shoe I looked at that have leather lining and upper along with a man made sole. So they are definitely not terrible quality

            +2

            @PAOK11: I havent owned a pair but working for Myer specifically in the Mens Shoes Department for the past 8 years I have seen the quality getting worse and worse. They use to use some calf/full grain leather around 5-6 years ago now most if not all are either pig leather or book binder leather. We have also had issues with the soles on the inside and had to write of at least two dozen of them.

            • PAOK11 on 18/02/2020 - 11:35

              @nobby148: Oh, Might explain why I have scuff marks everywhere. Fortunately no problems with the sole so far

  • belgavin on 18/02/2020 - 09:34

    If Julius Marlow are crap what are some ok alternatives? Or are you looking at over $200-300?

    • frostman on 18/02/2020 - 10:32

      See my post below

    Avoid this rubbish if you're serious about a corporate/professional job.

    You get 12 month's wear out of them and then; they hyper-stretch inside, leather fades, and excess and unnatural crinkles form on the top.

    It's ok if you're comparing them to Giodarno or whatever that shop is that gives you 3 pairs for $149.

    There were reports that some Julius Marlow products even use Pig or Kangaroo leather (not pointing to this one in specific).

    Anyway as discussed avoid if you can, they're also super uncomfortable and 12 months later you will have a bad back - WARNED!

    best bang for buck (ignoring the $49 current sale)
