I honestly fail to understand what this thread is doing on this forum. I thought people here had style
smart shoes...
He did say that he thought the only stylish way for a man to wear shorts was tailored shorts with long socks and smart shoes...
No grown man has any business wearing short trousers - that's an infinitely more heinous sin than anything involving any sort of sandals. Including Crocs.
But with so many closed-toe designs around now, often they are just shoes with windows.
If it's good enough for the Tommies...
But, like most things, sandals have changed. There are now "dressier" sandals...

There are now "dressier" sandals, sandals with support and better "insoles." Even sandals that aren't that easy to get in and out of. Trust me, I have a pair that take more effort to remove than most shoes!
There was an excuse there, they were fighting in the tropics and the like. Any photos of the armies in Rhodesia and SA also show them wearing shorts, but once again, it makes sense given the circumstances. I highly doubt most of the folks around here in nyc are fighting the Bush War or exerting themselves anywhere near as much as the said people did on the average day.
