I've no experience of those brands, all I can say is I like Barker for English made shoes at a reasonable(ish) price and Meermin are well worth looking at for high quality Goodyear welted shoes at a slightly lower price (made in China, but you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference to Barkers and I'd say probably preferable to Loakes).

It’s time to buy a pair of black Oxfords, entry level Goodyear welts c. £200-250.
I’ve found a few shoe brands which have a similar offering;
Sanders
Berwick
Herrings
Without buying a pile of shoes to be delivered, are there any quality factors to account for on the best brand from the hive mind?
