so you are all about showing off, if I'm not misunderstanding you. Because personally I refuse to wear Florsheim even if I went to drive-thru, after I got exposed to and fell in love with quality shoes. You, on the other hand, as long as your coworkers cannot tell the difference, are willing to wear Florsheim or whatever else looks like a black shoe, the cheaper the better.
Now your question makes a lot more sense to me.
Not exactly. As I said above, I wear fine clothes because they make me feel good, and I appreciate the artistry involved in creating a pair of EGs. But I also wear the best clothes I can find because it alters people's behavior towards me. You can call it showing off if you want. I don't find that to be inaccurate.
I think its wrong to assume that people don't notice what we wear, whether we are dressing for ourselves or others. People walking down the street may or may not notice, but I can assure you that your colleagues at work notice, even if they can't detect exactly why you look distinctive. Women notice, especially if they're interested in you. Your competitors at work will notice, and your clients will also notice. If you're an academic, your students and colleagues will definitely notice, especially the women. Not only because you are wearing excellent and refined clothing, but because the way we carry ourselves changes subtly. We are more confident in a fine suit, great tie and superlative pair of shoes, our stance and composure are different, and our gait is different in a pair of EGs compared to low quality shoes.
From experience, I can attest that the behavior of others towards me changes when I'm wearing an Isaia suit, TF tie, and a pair of distinctive 888 EGs. None of my clothes are flashy or too obvious, but nor are they plain.
