[QUOTE=valo403;2628940][QUOTE=Sliver;2628666]Don't sweat it man. At the end of the day it's a giant waste of money. Typical millionaires/wealthy people don't spend like that. Usually the people that spend so frivilously can't afford to.

Really? Because I work with a few dozen millionaires (makes elevator rides rather intimidating) and around dozens more and I have yet to see any of them in a cheap suit. If you're a wealthy professional odds are you're spending at least 4 figures on a suit and $300+ on shoes.

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.
I think it all depends on what city you work in. A lot of the junior oil and gas company executives wear jeans and/or khakis and a golf shirt here in Calgary. It 's the executives at the larger corporations that dress up.

What city do you work in?
