    There were two moments in my life which made me realise that looking after yourself and dressing well makes a big difference in how people treat you, and sometimes can open doors:
    1) At my favourite pub staff completely changed. The old guys who became my friends over time and always made sure I had a table and was treated well were replaced by two quite rude girls. Around that time I started dressing better. A couple of times I popped in to the pub wearing very well fitted polo with nice twill trousers + tassel loafers. Polo was tucked in, belt + one of the watchesmy collection. One of those girls simply stopped me as I was walking out for a cigarrete and started talking. Once the pub was not selling drinks anymore she said that she cannot sell anymore but I can get a couple on the house.
    2) I was a part of an IT department and was fixing something for CEO. I did that many times. On that day when I made sure I was dressed well he started asking me about security, as if I was an expert - of course I knew quite a lot, but I was never perceived as such - until I started looking after myself. This has lead to getting more responsibilities in that department.

    Really interesting, thanks for recording this.
    I'm in Northamptonshire, England, so I'm surrounded by literally dozens of shoe factories, to suit all kinds of budgets.
    There's high-end offerings from the likes of Church's, John Lobb or Crockett & Jones in Northampton, mid-priced yet excellent like Loakes in Kettering, Barker in Earls Barton, to the rugged yet very cool Dr Martens and NPS in Wollaston. Some like Tricker's are nearly 200 years old.
    Yet despite this, out and about almost everyone you see is wearing trainers. 😢
    Northampton Museum has a huge collection that's well worth a look, though Silverstone's museum is definitely higher octane!

    Antonio, your 100% correct, the correct shoes are the foundation of our outfit. They are like building a house, if we get the foundations wrong, the house won't last long!
    As to the price, we don't have to spend $1,000's on a pair of shoes, as sometimes they are rubbish _(glued)_ and may only last < then three month!
    Even some cheap shoes, $NZ136.00 can last as long as a pair of $NZ470 _(Loake 200B)._ I have a pair of Black Capped Oxfords, Brogues Oxfords _(Op-shop)_, both for $NZ5 each, and a pair of whole cut for $20 _(on-line)!_
    They say _(today)_ the first thing one sees is the shoes, how well looked after they are! Like going to a job interview, is this person going to look after my clients/products? One can tell by the way the shoes are looked after!
    And we should spend the same amount on our outfits as our shoes!

    IMO they could be used to plug the gap between leather sneakers and the more dressier options like loafers or Oxfords. And they're also quite flexible i. e. you can dress them up or down.

    I *LOVE* traction on the bottom of a dress shoe. When my older son was 3 or 4, i was carrying him down some hardwood stairs, slipped on a step, and went down onto the other ankle, with the extra weight of the kid. He wasn't injured, but I suffered a broken fibula. So to me, traction is king, and I won't wear a new pair of dress shoes without some traction on the ball of the foot (either built into the shoe, or applied myself with sandpaper).

      Hey Declinox,
      Just a suggestion, whenever I buy a new pair of leather soled shoes before I even wear them I take them to my shoe man and have a Toppy put on them, it's like a hard Nylon liner glued to the sole but it has a grip profile, they protect the leather sole so you only replace the toppy every few years instead of a full re sole which is expensive.

      My dress boots and redwing steel toes are more comfortable than most athletic shoes I have worn. Cheap shoes are cushy pillows at first then after a few months collapse leaving poor support. Old school dress shoes are miserable hard things at first but after 20 hours or so of wear (yes it takes patience) something incredible happens. Leather softens where your foot bends and twists. It stretches and expands around anything tight. The cork between the upper and sole molds to the bottom of your foot. They start to feel.... like they were made for your feet. As if they are suddenly old friends.
