I know this is a relatively common thread but I need footwear advice.
I'm in my late 20s now and I need to stop wearing trainers so often, but I'm a bit lost about the vast spectrum between Adidas Superstars and my work shoes so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Shoes wise I recommend these. They go with absolutely anything.
Also, I'd say fuck what ever age you are just wear what feels comfortable. If trainers are it, find trendier/more formal examples to wear outside of events where shoes are a neccessity.
I'm in a similar situation (except in my early 20s). If I spend between £50-£100 on 'smart-casual' leather shoes how long can I reasonably expect them to last?
Hate to give such a vague answer but it really does depend on the manufacturer. Some right crappy shoes can find their way into high street shops so it's always a gamble unless you look up the make and a few reviews. Some very average black Oxfords I got from Marks are still going strong after two years or so and only cost £50. I've been told Stacy Adams boots/shoes like the ones pictured are very durable and are floating around online for £60 - £90.
If these are too formal for your tastes, I'm sure you can't really go wrong with Clarks, whether it's their desert boots, Chelsea boots or their various permutations.
I really want to post the Limmy 'smart-casual' video again but think it might be overdone. Mainly because I've been posting it too much.
