Today I am wearing one of my very favorites, the Cobbler Union Jean Pierre. I love two-tone shoes and these are tame enough to wear to the office. Also, they are comfortable, fit well, and best of of all, I got them on sale for $150--usually about $400. YAY!
Socks are Bugatchi Mercerized Socks from Norstrom. I'm going to confess that I did purchase a few new pairs of socks because of this thread.
WHY ARE THE GUYS IN SUITS HERE? HAS SOMETHING GONE WRONG?

Hell it took a while to get over my dislike of the Higgins Mills I am wearing where the welt is lighter than the leather shade.
I figure if people, in the name of "business casual" at a law office, are wearing their sneakers, worn out crepe soled chukka boots, and shoes that look like Rockport Marshalls, I can wear two-tone shoes to the office. I wouldn't wear them to court, however.
On the AE shoes, the contrast is so subtle that very few people even notice.
On the Cobbler Union shoes, because the burgundy is near the top, it is often 50% covered by my pant legs; so, again, the look is subtle.
And I'm finding it enjoyable to wear the two-tone shoes and others seem to appreciate the stepping up in style. One of the partners I was sharing an elevator ride with recently made a joke and asked me if I noticed that my bonus was higher this year because I won "Best Dressed Lawyer." That's thanks to getting some coaching from here from all you gentlemen that helped me step up my game just a little bit.
But I think that proves the two-tone look isn't pushing the limits.WHY ARE THE GUYS IN SUITS HERE? HAS SOMETHING GONE WRONG?

Again, nothing wrong with pushing the envelope. That's how new ideas are born!
