I think there are few shoes that look better with jeans than chukkas, and New Republic did not disappoint. While they're simple shoes, the fact that they costjust $78 is still superimpressive to me. I've paid close to double that for pairs of chukkas I liked half as much.I'm a big fan of my New Republic chukkas, and nothing about the feel of them has made me think that "cost cutting" ever even entered into the equation of its design.In addition to the chukkas, New Republic also carries several other shoe styles at extremely affordable price points ' covering everything from driving loafers to broguesto boots, none of which cost more than $110.I think this is the real value of New Republic and other brands like it that specialize in affordable shoes. If you find a brand you like and trust, you can stock up on a few pairs of shoes and give yourself a ton of new lookswithout spending ridiculous amounts of your wardrobe budget.As creative director Mark McNairy puts it: "With these shoes, you'll have plenty leftover to buy a bunch of shit you don't need."You can check out all ofNew Republic's shoes here.This article was originally published on 10/3/2016.DON'T MISS:I've written about a bunch of great watches, but this is the one I wear to work every day ' here's whySEE ALSO:We tested what might be the best dress shoes out thereJoin the conversation about this story
