    Very true about Zappos; great site. I found it a few years back but have never ordered anything yet becuase of potential size conflicts.

    Aaron with the pointy shoe trend ending can you provide us an updated shoe video or have the styles changed enough. Noticed the leprechaun look is going away like the pilgram shoe.

    Mink oil! It’s cheap, easy to apply, fast-drying, and it helps to repel water and filth from leather.

    What is your take …
    What is your take on keeping shoes clean and polished? I’m very conscientious about maintaining my shoes and boots. I keep them in top form and place cedar trees in them to maintain the shape and eliminate odor. I work with some highly-paid execs who will wear the same pair of shoes every single day that they never maintain. They will wear them until they’re falling apart, then finally replace them with another cheap pair that they will wear every day for the next 18 months. I don’t get it.

    No kidding! Lots more men put thought and effort into their appearance than are willing to admit to it. Most just act like they don’t care, but you can tell they do. I guess it’s not a manly enough thing. Whatever. At the gym, it amazes me how much time and primping they do; they spend more time in front of the mirror than their wives!

    I am so glad you have a sense of humor. You would be surprised at how many people DO NOT! And I thought I took this whole style/image thing seriously. Some of these folks are even more “passionate” about this then I am. You would think I ran over their dog or something.

    You’re funny, Aaron. While I still wear my cowboy boots, I have ditched my clunky shoes, button-down collar tabs and un-fitted dress shirts. Your advise, sense of humor and approach really works and I, for one, appreciate your candor. Keep it up!

    Thank you for your input. My bad…I thought people wanted to look the best they can. But obviously I was wrong and stand corrected.

    gotta say i thought the 1st pair was way more fashionable than the last. i agree on loafers… hate laces

    but why do u ume men would want to look “sleeker and slimmer” to be fashionable? i never wear pointy shoes (like ur 3rd pair) because they look like female high heels. i tend to go for wider shoes and wider toes (not as wide as that 1st one) cuz theyre comfortable and narrower shoes make ur image delicate, not to be confused with a slimmer image, in my humble opinion…

    Thank you so much. Putting yourself out there like this, opens you up to some negative feedback. However, getting compliments such as yours, makes it all worth it.

    Excellent advice and presentation. You have found the right field for you! In our culture of “one overly-casual look fits all” you are a much needed deliverer. Kind-of-a straight guy for the straight guy I guess. Oh, and you do actually pull off the earring thing! Thanks again.

    I see where you are going with this. The funny thing about style and trends is that what is hot today, will not be in a month….but it will be again in the next few years. They come and go. You are always safe if you stick to the classics. Certain styles and shoes have been around for decades and Will always be appropriate. I must admit, I did own a few pairs of square toed shoes.

    ok, here is my issue: although the square clunky shoes are indeed hideous, back when they were in “style” did you recommend them to others, or did you shun them due to the ugliness – in spite of being “in style”?

    Also, I do like the loafers you showed, however there is a trend bandwagon every wannabe superstar professional is joining – the “pointy dress shoe”. Yes, is considered fashionable, but myself and everyone else I ask think they should go in the garbage. What do you think?

    Great advice! I still own a pair of chunky shoes, but now that you’ve corrected me, I’ll donate them. I prefer the elongated, narrower shoes that are common nowadays for wearing to the office. And yes, I’m the one that griped about your cowboy boot opinions and I will never give mine up. I feel about earrings on a guy the way you do about cowboy boots, but to each his own. Your advice offers some great guidelines. Thanks!

    Are you giving me a hard time? That okay, I like my earrings and if you enjoy something and “feel” that you pull it off…I say go for it.

    Also, while a loafer is a good casual shoe, a pair of double monkstraps would be better. Crockett & Jones makes superb men’s shoes, especially in the 337 last, and really should be looked into. Again, most Zappos dress shoes are as bad or worse than department store models, featuring corrected-grain leather and cemented soles. NOT a good buy in terms of long-term value or style.
