I don't think anything is wrong with it, but I don't wear brown leather products, either. Black is slightly better, and easier to coordinate with other colors, and sometimes having limited fashion options is a blessing. Get yourself a couple pair of black shoes, a couple sturdy black belts, and go to work worry-free for years to come.
ally is right -- the 2d pair are FUGLY as fuck.
It's all the little holes. Too... I dunno... fancy pants or something. Like it's trying to be a doily.

Which brings us to #2 and #3, where it's really a matter of taste. I think you could do either, but maybe #3 is more consistent with your overall style and existing wardrobe? You might like a certain pair of shoes but it's much less helpful if they don't GO with anything.
Brogues might be more of a UK thing than a US one? I back 'em.

I used to have a pair of Sketchers' engineer boots. They fell apart after a year.
I say #3, too.

one other thing: do nice sandals for men even exist?? (I am looking for a friend, who will probably end up in something godawful anyway. I have seen nothing nice.)

Tracer are you trying to take credit for PAUL EATER'S procurement? I believe it is he who deserves the credit for what were, in fact, great shoes.
Inspired by this shoe thread, I stopped by Daisy Too or whatever the hell it is called (the shoe part in back has a different name! But it is the same shop so WTF?). A pair of kelly green pumps I had admired quite a while back--but at whose price I blanched--was on sale for 75% off! 75%!!! So I bought them, despite the fact they are too big. I plan to fix that with some inserts and heel-sticker thingies.

Thank you for the Ryuichi S. video! It made me smile:)
While we are on the subject, should I go for the new-fangled no-laces slip-on Converse, or stick with the old stand-bys?

just because obviously shoe designers are randomly splicing away, so why not. it's like fish-tomatoes, for your feet.
― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 May 2006 04:13 (eighteen years ago) link
I agree with Lauren about the whole sandals issue, ugh ugh ugh other people's gnarly toes.
Mary, those slip-on Converse look even better in a grey high-top. Nick's girlfriend H has a lovely pair.

Going to the beach or running errands is obviously a bit of a different story, I don't think anyone expects pure unadulterated fashion at the Fairway.
