Input on some shoes I just picked up

[AutoX]

Ignore the two pairs of creative recreation shoes in the front .. I am just using one of them for an informal black tie event tonight. I'm def keeping the Clarks (they were only 60 bucks!!), but undecided on the rest. Just needed to start building up my wardrobe a bit and get out of college mode, so grabbed a bunch of thoughts.

The other shoes are from top left to right:

Top:
Robert Wayne
Sperry
Clarks

Bottom:
Creative Recreation
Creative Recreation
Steve Madden - I HATE STEVE MADDEN, but these are the lightest shoes I've felt in my lift .. extremely comfortable. I guess you can say these are like Sperry but 90 times lighter and bendable.
Calvin Klein (not extremely excited about these)

Clarks db is always a good entry level boot.

I'd return, buy one good pair of shoes.
Also, WTF is "informal black tie"?

Sperrys look silly with that sole. Return both pairs of Crecs.

All of this. I second.

Go return all of them, and invest that $500 you spent on those shoes on 1-2 good pairs.

+1. They were my joints back in undergrad when I couldn't afford expensive shoes.

With a screen name like Auto X, I actually expected worse. My friends that are into autocrossing spend their money on tires, suspension tuning, upgraded brake fluid, ss brake lines, etc.

So you bought them all? WTF dude. You have two ugly Creative Recs that look the same. Don't throw away money on garbage shoes. You can get away with cheap jeans and shirts, but good shoes will elevate your look big time.
