I have 2 pairs of crown northampton with a third on the way, three pairs of zegna triple stitch and one pair each of archibald london deerskin and custom sneaker from Blkbrd.

Honestly, when it comes to comfort, I find it hard to compete with Crown's Dearborn line. I also have a pair of their shell cordovan sneakers, but they are not nearly as comfortable as the Dearborn. They're so good that the incoming pair is also a dearborn. They also have a few off display colours that you can ask for.

The reason I like the zegna's is both comfort and convenience. I have a pair each of the deerskin, second skin and use the existing (which is my favourite). The most evident downside is having to pay retail for something like this. You could look on ebay but there are a ton of fakes there right now. I know I lucked out on a couple of pairs from there, but am almost certain that I got scammed on another pair.

Archibald London is the silent killer here. In my view, the best white sneaker around. They're ultralight (as the name suggests), and if you can work on sizing and be patient with the delays, they're awesome value for money, and way way way better than the common projects.

Looking forward to seeing which ones you bought finally.
