Man up and wear them. I've never been a fan of people who buy things who can't really afford them. Ex: All those guys who buy luxury sports cars but are afraid to drive them like they deserve.

I wear my new shoes while walking the dog before work. The gravel lot behind my apartment does wonders.

LOL, I have a 7-figure net worth, no mortgage, no debt, and a 6-figure salary. Humble by NYC standards, but I'm pretty sure I can afford some nice shoes. In fact, I already have my eye on the next pair... Also, it's a silly assumption that people don't drive their sports cars b/c they can't afford them. There are a host of reasons why that happens, including the fact that it was a silly impulse/status purchase enabled by their wealth.

While they are expensive shoes, I'm pretty sure I can afford them.

Also, it's a moronic assumption that people don't drive their sports cars b/c they can't afford them.

On the internet, every man is a six-foot-six millionaire with no excess body fat, who could buy whatever he wants, he just doesn't want to.

I prefer 6' exactly. Anything over 6' and you can potentially be called too tall by some petite women; and there are just too many beautiful petite women to run this risk.

I'm an 11. Send them to me, I'll wear them for a few weeks for you. You foot the postage though.

As long as you mean petite in both height and width, I agree

Like I said, those are very humble stats in NY. Quite common, in fact. Anyone bragging about something so pedestrian would embarrass himself However, it does indicate one can afford a pair of $500 shoes.
