    get some half decent hand made suit shoes with leather soles and enjoy the fact your wearing shoes that cost more than the average permie earns in a week and actually fit your feet properly..
    Last time I looked at some 'man' shoes someone recommended on here they had big buckles and Cuban heels. If I were going for the Laurence Llewelyn Bowan look or Louis XIV I'd have bought them.
