Work Clothes with Sneakers

The TOR piece about women wearing dresses with flats caused quite a stir (which incidentally the editorial board appreciates) with many women complaining that TOR didn't feel their plight, some men agreeing that it was a horrible look but most of them critical because TOR was talking women's shoes.


Well here we go again.

A look which became popular in the 90's was women going to work fully decked out in professional outfits but paired with sneakers instead of shoes for the commute which is a look TOR deems completely acceptable because the woman is going to work and walking up and down subway stairs etc when on route to work should be made a bit easier. The look is actually cute and we at TOR love cute chicks.

Now with that said, for a woman to pull this off is one thing but I've seen too many dudes start to wear running shoes to work and it's disturbing.
Now I’m NOT talking about this new chique of wearing a fullsuit with sneakers on the red-carpet which I guess is kind of hip in certain circles but I’m talking about taking the average going to work look and basically puking on your feet in the name of comfort. Just yesterday I saw some dude leaving the gym in a pair of work pants, a button down shirt and tie and paired it with a pair of Boings. This is where a man has to realize he needs to retain some self-respect instead of looking like a walking douchebag

If a guy can’t even make it through a day wearing a pair of Kenneth Coles to the point you must wear running sneakers what is the point of even getting out of bed?  Either get a new pair of work shoes that won't hurt your precious little feet or jump in front of a bus because the rest of your life will not be worth living just  don’t embarrass the entire male race with this look.
