Sneakers with your formalwear look like horsesh-t, amirite?

They prolly switch at the office.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

There are a lot of people that do this, especially when using public transportation, walking or biking. Even Mr. Rogers changed his shoes.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I casually wear Chelsea boots all the time and I think they are comfier than sports shoes. Also they are waterproof. I guess tho that would wear them down a lot faster than switching them, plus you don't have to clean them then.

My dad had rubber coverings that went over his dress shoes. They were like little booties. I think it was pretty smart, since they gave him traction and protected his shoes.

Yea I'm not gonna lie when I first started work and they told us we'd have weekly penis inspection every Monday, I was kinda thrown off. Now though, I'd be lying if I didn't say I got a bit excited every morning knowing my boss cares enough about me (and him) haha

Not anything that I find appealing. if they offered them as a uniform? sure but nothign I'd ever personally spend money on

Offered them as a uniform? It's just a semi formal/ formal shoe for a business casual attire.

Then I'll go within the dress code and if they allow my sneakers, then I'm wearing them, lol. Anything I don't already own and is just for work only coming from the thrift store

I work with a lady that is small with small feet to match. Coincidentally, she has just as much luck with the kids section for shoes than she does the adult section. I actively encourage her to wear the multiple sets of light-up sneakers she has and it is hilarious to see her run around our office in full dress attire with flashing feet.

I have self respect. That's why I want to avoid corns and bunions and all the other toe damage that comes from wearing fancy shoes. And who wears formalwear to the office? I'm just going to wear sneakers and regular clothes if I'm going to work. Formalwear is for fancy parties. I went to high school dances before it was popular to wear sneakers with prom dresses and it just meant you wore your heels for about 10 minutes and went barefoot the rest of the dance. Might as well start with the comfortable shoes

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I think it depends what the office setting is too. for me, I have zero personal interaction with clients so hell naw why would I dress up.? I wear either sneakers or hiking boots when I know I'm gonna be in and out... hell even my bosses do the same. so yea mega no on dress shoes.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

People have always cared about how others dress. We're you born yesterday? How you present yourself to others is crucial on how they treat you. Yeah it might not make logical sense or you could say you don't care but you really do. Everyone on the planet cares about how people think about them. People may vary on who's opinion matters but to everyone at least someone's opinion does.

As someone who is allergic to leather and have small feet (size 39,5 EU : US 7) but also wide feet, my options are limited. In a wide array of 500 choices I only can handle like one or two shoes. My best choices are the Skechers extra wide line-up of shoes. I don't care if you like it or not, my medical conditions are not yours to say: ‘have some selfrespect'. I much don't refer this than very painful feet every day.

Somewhat related - I once saw a bachelor party where they were all wearing full suits with fitted baseball caps. It was kind of weird because it seemed like they were all athletes that just got drafted since that was the only other place I've seen the look

If I wasn't walking a mile in a day in those shoes when wearing formal stuff, I'd agree.

The formalwear is the problem here. People should at least be able to be comfortable doing the job they need to do in order to survive.

I respect myself enough to wear comfy shoes

But how will fifty-something dudes at night clubs let young women know they're the cat pajamas if the don't wear expensive sneakers and a sports coat over a t-shirt to hide their spare tire? The slightly askew, flat brim baseball hat just simply isn't enough!

You're acting like a Hall Monitor for what people are wearing for footwear. Finding a book which interests you will help defeat such an extreme level of boredom. Also, I think it very strange you're cruising around formal events while performing an internal mental fashion shows of other humans' shoes

Formal wear at the office is a joke, casual all the time should be the norm

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Such a silly thing to say. Decades of casual shoe wear with suits has shown it to be fashionable as well as a good look. Does every shoe fit well, no. Is it a good look when done right? Yes. Do some people simply do it to commute, also yes

I like some nasty with my classy. We're a van's household. That being said, I have some blue leather shoes that hurt my feet but are so so cool. Bust them out maybe once a year.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Vans are a big step up from performance sportswear; they aren't fancy or classy, but they can fill out a deliberate aesthetic with variable mileage. I feel the same about chucks; they a bit nasty, but in a deliberate manner for a specific effect. Still much better than trainers. also, the corollary on this rule doesn't apply the same way; you *can* wear wingtips to a tractor pull, even if you will catch some side eye. You may not wear trainers to dine with his majesty, however. eta have you tried conditioning the leather on your dope ass shoes? That might be a bit of a trick with the dye job. Wearing them more will probably help work them in to a point where they fit your feet instead of your foot and the shoe reaching a compromise, which could be the case if you hardly ever wear them.
