I bought a pair of $350 Boss shoes at an outlet for something like $75 2 years ago, best deal I've ever found. I wear them pretty much every day and they just keep getting more an more comfortable. If I'd have gone with Aldo shoes I'd likely be on pair 4 by now, and I'd have felt like an absolute tool every time I set foot in a conference room with anyone important.
Usually they have one nice suite, but otherwise don't splurge.

There is a saying that goes, how do you know who is the most valuable guy in the company? Easy, find the guy thats dressed the worst. Its cause they can't fire him, he's too valuable.

Suites seem to be for guys who have to sales and marketing and have to make a presentations.
