Yeah, J&M and AE for me too. Getting harder to find J&M styles in "B" width though
A good dress shoe will last virtually forever, most of mine are around 20 years old. Just get 'em reheeled/resoled before it's really necessary and use shoe trees. Over time, good footwear isn't all that expensive.
I notice that fewer and fewer men are wearing nice footwear these days
I see businessmen who oughta know better wearing really nasty shoes with their suits all the time.
And note that *women* pay close attention to such stuff
The wives of the above-mentioned businessmen notice (and appreciate) what I'm wearing every time.
Regarding business casual shoes, while I'd never really wear them (or anything else remotely casual) for business, they sure do work great with khakis.
DavidB- Can't say that I agree with all the opinions/advice in those links, but then I'm mighty conservative about this stuff (not to say "stuffy"
).
