There are five dress shoes every man should own, but buying a single pair can become expensive — especially if you're after quality.

Generally, a high-quality men's dress shoe costs about $300 and, in most cases, spending that much is a worthwhile investment.

Of course, you can find very inexpensive dress shoes on the market, but that doesn't mean you should buy them. Cheaper shoes can be painful to wear and need to be replaced more often. 

Whether your career calls for professional attire every day or you occasionally attend formal events, you'll want a pair of shoes that hold up and last for years to come.

With a $350 budget, you can find a premium dress shoe in just about any style. If you're into saving money in the long run, being comfortable, and looking fashionable, you're in the right place.

These are 8 of the best men's dress shoes under $350.

Wolf & Shepherd Closer Cap Toe

Wolf & Shepherd

The oxford shoe is one that every man should own, and Wolf & Shepherd's Closer Cap Toe is well worth the money. Designed to be as comfortable as sneakers, they feature memory foam insoles and padding, as well as super soft leather right out of the box. To put the them to the test, a runner wore them in a marathon and actually did pretty well.

Chukkas are a great option if you're looking for shoes in between a traditional low-cut dress shoe and a full-blown high-top boot. The Cole Haan Barron Chukka Boot uses a mid-top construction and uses a premium tumbled leather on the upper. Stacked wooden midsoles and rubber outsoles complete the design.
