The closet clean out continues. Today’s category: shoes. I have three pairs of Oxford/monk strap style shoes with a thin sole. One gold with perforations; one silver and pink calf hair with side cutouts; and one brown suede and black calf hair. They’re from Taiwanese brand All Black, bought in a panic when I thought I was about to start a new job, but then covid lockdowns intensified etc etc.
They do not get worn, because for my feet this is the least comfortable type of shoe: they always rub around ankles and heels, while also pinching toes a bit. I have bought many pairs of this style of shoe, always trying to find the right one, but they are never super comfy.
However! They are all three beautiful, well made, and probably about as comfortable as one can expect for a dress shoe. If I worked in an office I would doubtless wear them every day. I don’t currently work in an office, but we are planning another international move next year, and who knows what I might do once we land.
What say you, group? Keep or donate?
