- arethuza 9y agoAs the old saying goes "no brown in town".... It's an old UK social class signalling thing. Only really applies to particularly stuffy organisations these days - but the do exist in the finance/legal worlds.
- phd514 9y agoAs for dress shoes being hideously uncomfortable, that's really a matter of fit and quality. For years, I walked several miles per day in NYC in leather-soled dress shoes and they were perfectly comfortable. Now I kinda' regret that I wear a pair of running shoes to my tech job and all my nice dress shoes are gathering dust in my closet.
