hmmmm... given this limited amount of information, i would say that you should be embarassed by your shoe choice. you apparently wear them multiple hours a day and they're not comfortable. my suggestion would be for more comfortable work shoes.
I'm thinking about this in more of a materialistic way. Like, would a crazy hot supermodel/fashionista/diva be okay with being seen on the arm of a dude wearing Bostonians? Or would she be repulsed by them?
I'm not going to be embarrassed because I don't care about comfort. It's that kind of nonchalance that makes me so cool.
alright. i have a better understanding of where you are coming from now. i still think that you should be embarassed given the non comfort factor, but also understand that
our god made different people with different needs. we are not all the same and should not be expected to abide by the same rules. please post a picture of your shoes along w/ a brief (brief) description of your work environment and we should be able to give you a better opinion about this subject matter. thanks.
