Get better with a used, forgiving set. Once you can break a "goal score" consistently, get fitted and buy something decent.

How long have you played?
What is your handicap?
How much work does you swing need?
If you need a lot of work on your swing, don't get fitted, your needs will change over time.
I personally don't like used clubs, so my recommendation would be to buy new but get a set that was released a year or 2 ago. You will save a few hundred.

You need some time to develop your swing and consistency. May be hard to fit if you have not played a lot. The first response is your best answer.

whatever you do, get fit by a qualified fitter, not just some baw at Edwin Watts.

What would be a good starter set(used or new) to just hack and slash with?
Also, are Golf shoes a must, or is wearing other shoes that won't tear up the greens ok?

The shoes are recommended IMO. I forgot my shoes one round and didn't make it past the 1st tee box without going to the clubhouse and spending 1.5x what those FJ's were worth.

You can buy a used set and get them fitted. At the least get them shortened or lengthened. I can't tell you how many people I've seen use clubs that were way too short or long for them.
Also make sure you get the same flex shaft in everything.

I figured buying all Cobra would have me looking good off and on the course, but still looking like Spalding(caddyshack) on it.

My only knock on Ping is that you're better off getting fitted and buying them new. I use to fit/bend clubs and I would NEVER touch Ping. They are tough to bend and if you can bend them you risk a chance of breaking them.

Make sure your golf shoes are waterproof. One of my partners bought a pair that aren't. We play early morning when there is dew and wetness from sprinklers. His socks are soaked by the 3rd hole.

I got a second hand set of Mizuno T-zoid irons about 10 years ago. The sweet spot and feel is pretty damn good considering the age of the clubs. If you could find a slightly newer and gently used set, that would be my recommendation. Still using them to this day. I have tried other iron sets but it feels like I'm cheating on the mizunos.
