It’s Wednesday, time for a rant. You’ve all seen this guy. He walks around in sandals and socks on. The sandals are the ones with a ridiculous amount of straps or a leather/rubber hybrid. Some are considered sports sandals, but the guy wearing them doesn’t look like he has played a sport in a couple decades. This is also the same guy you will see in the “dad shoes.” You will hear the same reasons as the “dad shoe;” they are really comfortable or why should I care about fashion. You should care about fashion because you have dignity, or you should care because you look ridiculous. Your wife may act like she doesn’t care, but every woman loves a man who takes care of himself or even just acts like it sometimes. I am not talking about garnering a pair of expensive loafers or putting on a pair of fresh Jordan’s.
You just need to think of a better solution. If comfort is what you are worried about than you should try on a bunch of shoes. Some stores are even letting people test drive shoes for a certain period of time. Cost? I have already gone over the cost of shoes and that excuse will not fly anymore. Is it laziness? I have found plenty of loafers that slip on and off very easy. They aren’t too flashy or young looking, they are super comfortable and affordable. I recently picked up a pair of herringbone style Globe Castro loafers for around $40. Believe me when I say these are great for any occasion; the beach, supermarket or even out on the town.
Another great option: boat shoes. I know these have a bad stigma right now, but they look great when you wear them with no socks. Many different companies are making these and adding extra padding, but the classic one still looks the best. Plus, you can just slide these on and off with ease. You can still have great style, be comfortable and not spend a fortune on clothes. And your kids won’t make fun of you for wearing mandals with socks anymore. That’s worth a lot more than money.
