Johnston & Murphy is easily my favorite brand of dress shoes which can routinely be found in department stores. I'd love some Ferragamo's, but they cost the same as large appliances.

And in answer to the question you haven't asked yet. I would recommend a pair of Allen Edmonds. :)
+1 - I love my Allen Edmonds cap toe dress shoes. Took forever to break them in well but with a decent polish they look spectacular and I'll have them for the rest of my life. Bought on sale at a department store, I forget which one.

Coincidentally, there was a news story about Allen-Edmonds in the paper yesterday; they announced they are going to start exporting their shoes to China but they will still be made in Wisconsin.
I have a couple pairs of them myself, they will last a lifetime with proper care.

Allen-Edmonds also has some stuff made in Portugal. Don't know if it is any better or worse than the Wisconsin stuff, just know that I have a pair that was made in Portugal.
Also, their factory stores have awesome deals.
