Hey gents, quick question; getting married in August at a vineyard in Central Coast California and looking for a nice pair of shoes to pair with a navy/blue suit. I own a few pairs of Allen Edmonds, my last acquisition was a pair of MacNeil in November in oxblood. The ideal shoe will look great with jeans and slacks after the wedding to serve a continued purpose.
I was at the AE store today here in LA and tried on these:

The horse hide is great, I just didn't love the shoe for some reason and it would be my fourth pair of AE. I'm looking to spend around $600, the shoe would have to fit my wide feet (I'm a 9 EEE in AE shoes)... If I had had the wise foresight, I probably would have bought a Cordovan pair of Alden long wings (same idea was the MacNeil from AE) but the MacNeil I was able to buy for ($170 during their Thanksgiving sale + Amex cashback credit for AE). Any advice at what shoemakers I could look at next?
