Are Justin Rees Shoes good quality?

I am 24M and I have a thing for nice designed shoes. I have recently fell in love with Embassy London shoes despite the high cost for my first pair. But now I have stumbled across some lovely floral brogues from a company called Justin Rees. Are these any good?

I bought some Justin Reess brogues from Amazon for a wedding last year. They’re quite nice

what is the quality like, long lasting or cheap?

Never heard of them but a quick Google shows they're stocked by Amazon and Slaters. Who might be known for value but not for quality. They're £70-£80 for a pair and that's not on sale either.
Also a lot of their stuff is a part cloth, part leather, which is likely a cost cutting exercise.
I'd keep an eye out for Grenson, Loakes and possibly Last Conspiracy on sale if you're on a budget. Pretty sure some outlets will have them.

Thanks. I will probably stick to my two brands I know, I use Gatesby for boots quite cheap but good quality and recently just bought one pair of Embassy London Brogues as the design was really cool, get so many good comments when I where them. But I saw these and love the design but think as you say the quality will be naff, any brands I could get regally cool pattern designs but better quality?- I can stretch to like £160-£180 if the quality is amazing but I prefer much less than that - https://www.debenhams.com/product/justin-reess-ross-floral-print-leather-brogue-shoes_p-b74afec9-778c-4d92-8e72-19720889350d?colour=Brown&size=10&istCompanyId=76f7277d-6e78-4dc2-aaff-1eb77fae16b0&istFeedId=258a4886-8f3c-47ef-9369-d1eda8d84501&istItemId=qtqwamrxl&istBid=t&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds

Their website Trust Advisor is not representative of their actual score. So that's a red flag.
Also I can't see anything on their website of where they are made which makes me think they are not made in the UK although the branding is all about the UK. HUGE RED FLAG.
I'd avoid.

thanks, perhaps just stick to what I know. They are nice designs on their but I am questioning the quality

If you like your shoes and want something for a good price I'd suggest Ebay/Vinted and look for older used shoes from good British brands. Something like Crockett and Jones. You'll get a serious quality product for less and with good care they'll last a lifetime.
