The question that rises is: How do you end up reading shoes advice from someone named "Melissa Clouthier"???

Black wingtips "are part of the arsenal of boring professional men everywhere". Wow. Thats a pearl of wisdom. Thks for sharing

I can't believe I wasted my time reading that article. I really wish I could have those three minutes back.

The woman who wrote that is an idiot. It is only by pure chance that she pointed out truly hideous shoes. Hopefully she does not plan on breeding.

I wonder if the writer is a former/current female sales associate?

The writer is a chiropractor (sp?) and a blogger for Right Wing News. FWIW.

I've been looking for a new pair of black wing-tips. Hmmm

You have to admit, those pictures do look pretty nasty. Also, these:
