Good shoes are like the strong base of a man’s clothing collection. Everything else relies on them, just like a house needs a strong foundation. Remember the story of the man who built his house on sand? He probably didn’t do well. We don’t really know the details, but we’re quite certain he messed up a job interview because he wore a bad pair of shoes with a good suit.
Luckily, it’s not hard to start things off on the right foot (with a bit of knowledge). Even though things change over time (like famous presidents, moustaches, and the return of fanny packs), certain shoes always stay great choices.
