Did we ever figure out how one can "wear shoes wrong"? I'm still concerned I wear mine incorrectly
Am I reading this correctly? The question is the incorrect wearing of the shoe... any shoe, and not necessarily wearing the wrong type, style, or size of shoe?

bought a pair of Johnston & Murphys a few weeks ago. So worth the extra 30-40 over the normal amount I spend
i refuse to wear j&m. ive had three pairs and they all fell apart (completely apart) within 6 months. i spoke with their customer service and they told me i 'wear shoes wrong'
mine just started to come apart on the bottom of the sole. It was a good 26 month run

im not sure what they were alluding to but were convinced their shoes are made with the utmost quality.

i should say i have had 3 different pairs of ecco shows simultaneously for 3 years and they are still in excellent shape

I bought a pair of these because they were on sale and felt really comfortable when I bought them:

Yes, they're crocs, yes, they look kind of goofy, but dammit if they aren't one of the most comfortable shoes I've worn.

No, but I do a lot of walking and it's a comfortable shoe to walk in.

We have a casual dress policy. Most days it's those shoes, jeans, and a button up shirt.

Leather soles? If so, you should be able to get those resoled pretty easily. I'm currently wearing a pair of Florshiem wingtips that's well over 10 years old. I've probably done half soles and heels maybe three or four times over that span.

I know my go-to cobbler (Northway Shoe and Repair off McKnight Road) also says they can resole shoes with rubber and other non-leather soles, but I'm not sure how well that works since all my dress shoes have leather soles. I've found they last much longer than the alternatives. I can say that the last time I got shoes done, half soles and heels ran me $40 per pair, which is obviously way less than a new pair of shoes.

Big oral argument today. All out. Black suit, blue shirt, Anson belt, french cuffs, cuff links coordinate with tie. Monogrammed single cuff.

Feels good.

Oh, it's over. I nailed it. Since I'm not a great speaker I'm going to give the monogram full credit.
