Question for the gentlemen of the OT?

My exact initial thoughts

Stop buying cheap dress shoes.

quote:

---

Buy Cole Haan, Allen Edmunds, or Johnston & Murphy and never have that problem in the first place?

---

They are Johnston and Murphy

Also buy from a department store or the shoe brand's stand alone store or website. Discount stores have the shitty versions of the brand name shoes.

---

Bought from Dillards IIRC.

As already suggested, Allen Edmonds are your best bet budget wise and can be had for under $300 during sales.

$300 for shoes on a med student budget . I was hoping for a cheap fix

You can spend $100 3 times over the next few years as you buy cheap shoes that hurt, or $300 once for a pair of oxfords you can wear long after you're done with medical school. I still have the same shoes I had in law school and they look new 8 years later. Whatever you buy, get a cheap pair of shoe trees ($25-30) and put them in whenever the shoes aren't on your feet.

If you insist on trying to wear what you have now, just buy the heaviest socks you can find.

$300 for shoes? Any man that spends more than $150 for shoes or $50 for a pair of jeans is a little light in the loafers, if you know what I mean.

Haha. You're poor and lack style.

Surprised no one has mentioned moleskin for the back of the shoe.

But I'm also married with 4 kids and have no reason to wear "look at me" clothes.

Hey if you're happy looking like a slob, I'm happy.

That's just dumb. It's because whatever you do to pay for those 4 kids, doesn't require you to look like a professional. $300 for shoes that last 15 yrs or $150 for shoes that last one year? Somebody failed at math. If you only dress decent for weddings and funerals, by all means buy cheap shite.
