"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

A quick scan of my Elders Quorum today showed at least half a dozen Sketchers step-ins, including one dude that rocked a charcoal grey pair that matched his suit. I was wearing my typical dress shoes.Originally posted by Moliere View PostHoly crap! Are you all older than creekster?

In formal or semi-formal, I'll wear oxfords. I'm about 70/30 with the Sketchers when it comes to business casual. They're just ridiculously comfortable.

You can get away with footwear more casual than the attire, if done right, but never the other way around.
Oxfords are for suits/tuxedos only. Derbys arefor attire less casual than a suit (slacks w sport coat, etc).
Bugs me to no end when I see a dude rocking a sport jacket and 5 pocket pants/jeans and he’s wearing oxfords.

I think you are nuts. A nice sports coat, some nice dark denim (maybe raw), and some walnut AE Strands look great.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post

Don't forget that I remember when you advocated wearing socks that looked like a bad Cosby sweater.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I have the Oofos Slides. My daughter made tons of fun of me until she learned her entire XC team had them and has since asked me to buy them for her. Oofos makes very comfy shoes.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostOofos strides. You’re welcome.
For a more "island" feel (?), I just bought some Olukai shoes that are ridiculously comfy. They have some collapsable heel that turns them into "slippers" (I miss MarkGrace).Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I wear slides at home, and strides outside. My tendonitis has started turning into fasciitis, so now I am relegated to walking on pillows for awhile. They are super comfy. But if you have a mean spouse like I do, you'll hear her singing 'marshmallow man' in place of 'particle man' by They Might be Giants when you're on a hike, because the width of the sole is substantialOriginally posted by falafel View Post

I used to wear my Olukai's all the time, but that was before the tendonitis kicked in and I started wearing shoes with orthotics. If I ever beat the various forms of 'itis' in my foot, I'll go back to Olukai's."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

You are so close here. Go with a derby and you are golden. Oxfords are too formal for jeans, dork. Also, those Cosby sweater socks were baller. Too bad the elastic wore out.Originally posted by falafel View Post

This tangent is super gay.

I was really worried because my everyday work outfit is slacks and a dress shirt. Sometimes with a sports coat, sometimes not, but never a tie or suit. I also wear what I thought were one of my three pairs of oxfords a couple of times a week. Fortunately, after some googling I discovered that my shoe knowledge is lacking and my oxfords are actually derbys.
Whew. Crisis averted
