Belgian Shoes: Wearability

[GiltEdge]

I am thinking of buying my first pair of Belgian Shoes. I love the design and ascetically fits what I need. The issue is, how do they wear? I would probably get the rubber soled ones so I can wear them with both jeans and a suit, but also because I am in Manhattan and have to deal with the physical elements here. They are "house" shoes but have they changed over the years to handle a full day of work and maybe even a light commute by train and bus?

I found them to be quite durable and I've worn them for thirty years.

They are called house shoes for a reason. They won't last more than a couple of months if you wear them to walk on sidewalks but they will be fine indefinitely if you ride to your destination and then spend the day indoors.
