The other half I come out of the shower to see a shirt laid out on the bed for me.
When it comes to dress shoes, I prefer slip-ons. But no loafers or tassels.
Aristides prefers slip-ons too. He had some tassels once. Our two year old (at that time) pulled one of the tassels off. It looked weird wearing one shoe with a tassel and one without. Ever since that moment, we have boycotted shoes with tassels.

I also dig Adam Derrick. His "To Boot New York" line is very cool and works for both work and casual.

+1 on the Adam Derrick. I have a pair of the To Boot New York's and they are very good shoes. I've had them for five years and they still look close to brand new. I think they were going for around $250 but I bought them for less somewhere in PHX.
I love To Boot. I have a couple pairs of those shoes that I wear every now and then. great quality.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

It's scary how much you guys know about shoes. I go cheap. If I can't find it at Famous Footwear, I don't buy it. I allot about 15 minutes per year to buy shoes.Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. Oaks

Most likely at Last Chance? I think there is a huge one on Camelback. It is another one of those Nordstrom close-out places.

The three kinds of shoes that I wear to work:
Motorcycle riding boots: Very comfortable, black leather, covered with little plastic skid plates, breath nicely.
Flip Flops: For when I work at home, and for hot weather when I remember to cut my toe nails.
Hiking boots: Also very comfortable, brown leather, breath well, best for when I need to work in the shop, since they protect my feet from things dropping on them (tools, wood, etc.).

That was it! I can't remember what I paid but I think it was thirty or forty bucks. The shoes were perfect.
In undergrad, we made a pilgrimage there because the rumor was that they had discount Doc Martens (this was back in the early 90s). So we make a roadie to Mesa and we go to Last Chance. We all found a pair of Docs for about $30 each (which was a major steal at the time, as those shoes retailed for $90 or so).
I guess the main point of this story is for me to admit to myself that at one time in my life, I made a great effort to wear Doc Martens.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Last Chance is great. If I am in Phoenix, I try to make a stop there. They usually have something good.

I bet they looked great with your silvertabs and Levi jacket and flannel tied around your waist.
Back in the day, there was a phase wherein everyone was wearing their jeans with a small cuff at the bottom. You simply flipped up the bottom hem of your jeans and created about a 1 or so inch cuff. I don't know what that was all about or why we all did it. However, brown Doc Martens seemed to be the requisite footwear to go along with the cuffed jeans and the plaid flannel from The Gap. I didn't tie them around my waist...that was more of a grunge thing.
I think it was after this period that I developed my dislike for brown leather casual shoes.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
