I'm pretty lazy in my shoe fashion. Essentially, my goal is always to wear the most dignified/adult/professional footwear that vaguely resembles Airwalks.

Shoes aren't my thing per say. I have steel toe boots that I am required to wear to work and I wear them pretty much across the board from church to work. Now hats ..... I have a few of them, let's say. My latest being a white fedora with a black and white stripped band. White hats are great and stylish. But difficult to keep clean. So it really is for special occasions. Dirty hands and sweat can really ruin them. My issue with hats is that I sweat like nobody's business. So any hat I buy has massive sweat stains within weeks of me getting it. So expensive hats just aren't a good option. |

I do love the look of a good boot, and those monkey boots are sharp. I used to have a pair of Doc Martens. I loved them and wore them into the ground.
I will admit I occasionally wear laced leather boots when it snows and I need something with a bit more traction but the big snow boots aren’t quite necessary. Maybe I need to find some good faux laces.
I’m not big on shoes, but if I have to buy them, I figure they might as well look good and not need to be tied.
I struggle to find hats that fit well. My head is apparently deceptively larger than it appears.

I may be boring, so I tend to stick to Oxford shoes for everything from driving to going to weddings:  |

Incidentally, without getting political, I checked a news channel recently (opinion channel would be a more apt term), and two ‘commentators’ were stating that trainers should ONLY be worn if you’re playing sports or in the gym.
Firstly, *I* decide what I wear, not some idiots on TV. Oh, I miss the days of news channels reporting the news rather than simply paying people to sit in a studio offering opinions.
Secondly, on that matter, not that it’s the business of news commentators, but if I’m walking to my mother’s house - 30 minutes away - on a Sunday for dinner, I am not wearing shoes. Trainers are more comfortable. And on the rare occasion I may venture into a pub, maybe on occasion, I might wear a polo shirt, black jeans and trainers. I’m not getting a top hat, waistcoat and Oxford shoes to sit in a pub garden on a hot summer day.
I remember now why I have the Reuters app on my phone - for proper news, proper journalism with journalists around the world. But, here we are in the UK, circa 2024, where a ‘news’ show thinks two fools lecturing viewers on how they should be wearing shoes all of the time is now a thing.
EDIT: I am not saying there shouldn’t be some norms/rules, e.g. wearing shoes to a funeral, but I could do without news ‘pundits’ wasting airtime on demanding people only wear trainers in gyms and during sports.
