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.

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.

I was hanging out with a group of friends and we split off into male and female groups for walking around a shopping area. Being the gender stereotype killers we are, we ended up looking at shoes. My two accomplices ended up picking up very similar shoes. When the sales guy asked what size they needed, they both said at the same time, "ten and a half." I'm fairly sure he thought they were some sort of couple with a shoe fetish. In any case, I envy the shoes and wish I'd bought them since they ended up being really comfortable:http://www.zappos.com/images/793/7177793/1729-165321-p.jpg

I think I am quite happy for men to wear sandals (not flip flops) in most situations as long as their feet are nice. It seems unfair that women should have access to a whole world of acceptable sandals whereas for men it is something of a minefield.

To put that another way, I envy you people, for your knowledge and enthusiasm. Your world of footwear seems very glamorous.

okay, last pair i'll post, but ones i really want b/c even if they're not ultra stylish (like those yellow ones, aw), i KNOW they're really comfortable (clarks originals) and will last. alas, only available in UK and would cost me a stupid amt of money (that i do not have right now, esp for wedge sandals of all things) to get. OH WELLL.
