Well I do like nice shoes but comfort is also important. A few years back when I was working as a mechanic I went to buy some Red Wing boots. Most of the boots they had were butt ugly, but they had one pair that looked pretty good. Only problem was to get it in my size it would have to be special ordered and was three weeks out. All the others in my size were in stock. I ordered the cool looking ones. To tide me over I bought a pair of $15 Payless work shoes. I have never been in so much pain in my life! After three days with the pain getting worse each day I tossed the Payless shoes and just wore sneakers to work for two weeks.
Now I work in an office and have to wear fairly dressy shoes, but not full blown dress shoes. One of the things I look for are shoes that are quiet when walking on a hard surface. I can't stand hearing every step I take.
