I generally wear my Doc Marten boots for almost every occasion, since I’m not a dress-up kind of guy and don’t have many hobbies that would call for tennis shoes.
What about you? Do you have a broad variety of shoes for various occasions, or are you more of a footwear minimalist?
I have a pair of Doc Martens boots and a pair of Simple sneakers that I wear, depending if I am going to be walking a lot or standing, the Doc Martens are great for that, very comfortable.
I have some funeral Florsheims in the closet that haven’t seen any action for a while, a pair of 1982 Arcorocs that have been resoled 9 times, and some Merrel Moabs for everyday.
I got me some of those doctor shoes. I think they call them Crocs. I also favor New Balance sneakers. Got a black pair NB Zip, that look like something a space critter would wear. Been wearing New Balance since when they were still made in MA and had genuine ripple soles.
Sometimes, I wish I had the commitment necessary to pull off spatz. But it’s a whole look you’d have to bring together. Still, though ... I dream of spatz.
Someone should really come up with some casual spatz. Maybe just silkscreen them onto some canvas top loafers and they could be worn with that tuxedo t-shirt thing that exists for similar reasons.
