Yeah, kinda felt that way about the other pair. Rubber soles in general seem to cheapen most shoes, I have a pair for the winter because I've never felt like getting a pair of leather soled shoes topied. I've had some close calls on days where it snowed unexpectedly.
These are horribleFinally got some hard bottoms. First pair in over 10 years.

For trips to the snow, b.The Brooks Brothers version usually are part of most sales, just need to hunt them down.
Can't be caught off guard the 2 days it rains in SoCal during the winter,
I have about 3 pairs, brown and walnut. Use them often, very comfortable.
If you like em thats cool, but Id return those and get a pair of black or brown wingtips.Finally got some hard bottoms. First pair in over 10 years.

Why does he need to return them because you think they're ugly?
This.Does it really matter?
Keep wearing what you like sir
Why does he need to return them because you think they're ugly?
Improving his wardrobe by suggesting what you would buy.He doesn't NEED to do anything; people post pics of clothes in here for comments and/or suggestions and I gave mine. Sorry for trying to help him improve his wardrobeWhy does he need to return them because you think they're ugly?
Improving his wardrobe by suggesting what you would buy.
I just asked a question, no need to get up in arms
All I'm saying is that how do you define "much better"? Maybe those are the best to him. Much better for you because you wouldn't wear them.Someone else posted that, so I'm not sure why you keep directing those forced smileys at me. I tried helping him out by telling him that he can buy much better shoes at that price pointImproving his wardrobe by suggesting what you would buy.

The critique in this thread is cool and I have no problem with it, in the context of say, if something is ill-fitting. Then you have a basis to correct that because there is a wrong fit and a right fit. But when something as subjective as a pair of shoes gets a comment that they should return them simply because someone thinks they are ugly, that rubs me the wrong way and makes me feel as though people are trying to "dress" others the way they would dress. (insert sarcastic/forced smiley)

I respect this as an actual basis for critique
I get what you're saying to an extent but what are recommendations other than suggestions for what they perceive to be better options based on their preferences? Dude posted suits he tried on and got better ideas and was told to return certain ones, some based on size because he can do "better" based on fit. Could he wear a 38S when he "should" be wearing a 36S? Sure. Is it the better option of the two? Nope. Were people trying to dress him or help him out to look the best he could? Their suggestions may have opened his eyes to something different, he might even view it as better or he could've stuck with what most perceived as ill fitting because it suited him.All I'm saying is that how do you define "much better"?
