For me G&G is not a everyday shoe you want to damage.
While I use C&J for work and other stuff and G&G when I want to look extra nice :)


i dunno what your workplace looks like but this makes no sense, imo.

Get over it. Shoes are meant to be on feet, not inside a display case. Just wear 'em and take care of 'em.

I wear them more then enough, but not every day. Maybe when I go out for a dinner with friends (something like that) For work I wear less expensive shoes as C&J or most often Church's

Easy question to answer

Buy the Rotschild or the Walkton which can be worn with bloody well anything except where patent leather shoes are required.

Take it in the round toe GG06 so that it does not mess up your casual look in jeans but also matches, quite perfectly, any formal suit or morning dress trousers.

Colors? Take either a mid brown or one of the burgundies, like Rioja, which goes with every color in your wardrobe, especially if it is antique finished.


oh god

Personally I try to get as much wear as I can with my shoes regardless of price (as long as they are appropriate for the occasion). For the type of work I do, there is minimal risk for my clothes to get messed up so I have that flexibility. I think regular wear (of course not daily... rotating shoes is still rule #1, right?) really balances the cost paid.

Then C&J and Church's meet your needs. For me it's more of a risk wearing my smart shoes out around town because of spilled spirits and intoxicated women with their spiked heels. :)
