Are these dress shoes, and what are dress shoes?

Nope

Dressier. Quips aside, dress shoes will have a leather sole, but from there formality depends on a lot of factors. Whole cut shoes are more formal than shoes with separate vamp and quarters. Closed lacing is more formal than open lacing. A plain toe is more formal than a cap toe or wingtip. Smooth leather is more formal than textured leather. Etc. Etc. However, a scotch grain long wing blucher is correctly called a dress shoe, and they'd be fine in most situations that call for dress shoes. It's a rare situation that calls for a granular understanding of relative shoe formality.

I'd call them "business casual".

mono 1461 are probably the best looking derbies you can find, wish they(or someone else) made them with higher quality leather

What are some other casual derbies like the Postmans? I know there's the Doc Martens 1461 but those are lower quality.

The monos have different lasts to regular 1460/1461s

They are NOT dress shoes. They are ugly Bulchers that look like a work shoe for a Machinist or something. Google Allen Edmonds Park Avenue for an example of a Dress Shoe

>>14902073
I mean the solovair gibson is supposedly higher quality although I’ve never handled any to compare
I’d agree though. There’s something very well done with the mono. Idk if my opinion is colored by branding but they do seem very well designed in comparison with a lot of other derbies

>> No.14903374

These shoes are chunky, the leather looks plasticy as fuck, and they have a wedge sole. No, they are not dressy, they are for LARPing high schoolers.

How about a relatively low budget of 200 USD? Comfort over style pls
