Feet are not squares thus your shoes shouldn't be either!!


Shoes are meant to contour ones foot, an extension if you will.  I have yet to see a square foot to accommodate the over worn square toe shoe.  Square toed shoes had a short lived fad of a life over a decade ago.  They should stay there!!

While on the topic of shoes, go out and get a new pair!  Get a few pair of high quality shoes that are constructed to last.  The way the majority of rubber soled shoes today will not cut it.  A man needs at least a couple pairs to rotate to let the leather breathe after wearing.  Wearing the same pair of leather kicks day in and day out will brake them down very quickly and you won't get your money out of them.  So alternate a few pairs and put cedar shoe trees in them when they're not on your feet and always use a shoe horn when putting them on.


Occasionally a shoe  needs to be polished and conditioned.  This will keep them looking new and make the leather last longer.  Along with a good polish, solid leather soles do wear out over time, but can be resoled at just about any quality cobbler around.
