No upbringing as my father would say.

Also, don’t own any.

Running shoes? Not a thing.

Edit: well I’ll be damned, I guess it is a thing. A very dumb thing.

I will say, it’s very common to see people who walk or use public transportation to commute to/from work to wear tennis shoes with a suit, or seeing women in work clothes and tennis shoes. Then you change into your dress shoes once you get to the office. I don’t see a problem with that at all.

Is it a skinny suit like that huge fig on the Capitol One commercial wears?

for starters, i'd say, 'people caring too much about what others are wearing.'

I like it. It should become a normal thing. Most dress shoes kinda suck.

The end started when suits without a tie became popular. It is a fine look with a sport coat but a tie is part of a suit.

PS super skinny ties are stupid too unless they are worn with an Italian suit in a size that can be bought off the rack in non-tourist centers of Italy. IE non-baw sizes.

How about they stop making dress shoes so fricking uncomfortable?

I agree. You’re not in high school anymore. It’s not edgy. It’s immature.

My dress shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. Don’t get cheap. Get a pair that will last and make sure someone who knows what they’re doing sizes you. Good ones will form to your feet like a nice pair of boots.

I’m real stubborn when it comes to suits. I’ve done fads here and now, but I always believed that suits should and always be worn as suits. Dress shoes included.


I never forget when one of my g-grandmothers passed away when I was a teenager. One of my first cousins came to the funeral with a black suit with black AF1’s.

Every adult man in the family jumped his arse and how dare you show up disrespecting your g-grandmother like that....And when they were done with him, they turned to my cousins mom (Aunt) about letting your child come dressed like that.
