I have a pair of leather shoes but don't wear them very often. Usually I will only wear them with a suit. Once when I wore them when I was just out with friends at a restaurant my good friend asked me "why do you wear those shoes?". I looked down at his tattered sneakers and replied "because I like them". Just wear them with confidence, nobody will say a thing (except if you have mean spirited friends).
I'd just like to add that this friend of mine isn't a bad guy or anything, probably just surprised at the atypical shoes for that social event and group.
