@DMW   Every day business shoe? Meetings and glad handing clients?  On the work site followed by dinner? A good shoe is  Johnston Murphy. Cole Haan if you wanna

truth is, better to buy a two hundred dollar pair of shoes that you can resole forever than a twenty dollar pair you throw away

that and a pair of boots

haven't worn sneakers in 30 years. If i ain't running, what the fvck i need sneakers for?  Like a cowboy hat. Unless you are riding a horse, you better be a ten year old boy. Only real cowboys and ten year old boys should be allowed to wear cowboy hats. 

Shoes sound fruity. But you can turn that on its head. 

First time my boss sent me out on a jobsite (20 yeads old) i had a tie on and some brand new fruitcake pennyloafers. It was for a church i had designed. I pulled up to the jobsite SURROUNDED by mud. They don't teach this in architecture school

i said to myself. "Meeting is at 8:30.  It's 8:29"

i got out of my car and and walked through the mud. Up over my ankles and into my shoes   

Stepped on to the poured concrete deck in the middle of the church (framing going up around us). The GC was about 55, and watched me coming the whole way. 

As i stepped onto the deck, i nodded at him. Kicked off the fruitcake pennyloafers (my girlfriend liked them), and i whacked them together knocking the mud off. Threw them down, slipped them on and walked up to him and said "look. You've done this longer than I have. I'm not gonna cause any problems. If you have any questions, I'll answer what I can answer here and now, and whatever i don't know, i'll take back to the office and get an answer for you as soon as I can."  He said "i think we'll be ok"

so. If you are in an office, get some shoes with a little style (not too much) , and spend for good ones. Because they last about (seriously) 20 years. 

And if you work on a jobsite, steel toed boots, a wool socks (no penny loafers)

Ecco. The end

@YukonRon

remove layers of stuff you are not sure about?  I'll ask again. What are you not sure about? Are you saying you do not understand when meat is good or not? Grow a pair of ballz and just cook it and eat it

we have only had refrigerators the last 70 years. Your great grandmother was more of a man than you, if you think brown meat is bad 

(in jest.  Though i'm deadly serious)

Hah, I laugh at you!
My great grandmother invented gun powder, she used it to cook with, when she was not hunting bears, with only a small pocket knife. This is before she single handedly retook the Alamo back by herself.
We are not of great intellect, but by gawd, we have strong will and strong backs. She also carried a BGE XL, on her back everyday to feed others.
Further, I was always her favorite!!!
Mess with me, she will show you what a man you are!

@DMW - this ^^^.  I walk a fair bit at work. I have a pair that I've worn every other day, for the past 6 years. They fit just like they did the first week I had them, and are in excellent condition. I was buying new shoes every 8-10 months before I bought these.

You could have used some sneakers on that hill in Virginia. Those blue numbers you were wearing were stylish as hell however not really functional in the morning dew. Had a few last night did you?

Darby_Crenshaw

those blue numbers were for the airport.  i was wearing flip flops on the hill of death in virginia.

it hurts me deeply that you do not remember my footwear properly

I was too busy kicking you free of the beer cooler (which you were clinging to for dear life) to try and prevent a tragic accident to notice your fashion statement.
