Yes, agree. They took me ages but they are very comfortable now. I think Trickers are the best for almost normal money. The Grenson G2s used to be good value as they are made in India but everything has shot up.
Most sensible post in this thread by a mile.
It's part of their belief system. That myth enables ruling it all out.
Same question applies to exhaustive analysis of a system's combined grounding scheme. Answer: Who knows.
£500! For a pair of shoes? Good heavens above!
I presume (correct me if I’m wrong) that your humorously made point is that a “fancy” mains cable plugged into the wall and doing the last metre or two of legwork can’t possibly make a difference. Wild guess!
£19.99! For a pair of shoes? Good heavens above!
I care about the way i look though
I think that is very commendable and something I wish I could manage. Oddly enough I do enjoy good design - mid century scandinavian furniture, old jags, some old Quad - I’m just hopeless in the sartorial department.I care about the way i look though

I think you are conflating a number of issues but take your wider point.I have always been troubled by that aspect of mankind.
That seemingly unquenchable desire for a bigger better everything..better house with a better kitchen . Bigger better faster car that is "better' than your friends and neighbours ( it's always important that one's toys are seen to be better ) . Better clothes ( ? ! ) Bigger better 'things' .Go to better places... better restaurants....they are graded for us by people so we know which ones to go to...so we know it is better.
Some of us are ill with it... we can never reach that for which we endlessly strive. Bespoke shoes, bespoke clothes...couture clothes. Exclusive...thats a siren call of a word...limited edition , why do we get suckered in to that nonsense ?
It's as if we all exist in a movie of our own creation going on in our heads in which we are the observers of our own movie.....we 'see' ourselves driving along in our fancier car as we think that others 'must ' see us. Many strike me as never happy with what they see and must strive for a better look. " My friends all drive Porsches I must make amends "
That word "look" , as in 'the way I look ' has always troubled me.
Still....it is probably / possibly what got our ancestors out of the caves and the trees in a lizard brain sort of way.
I don't really follow your reasoning here - I care about what I wear because I want it to be thoughtfully designed, properly made and durable - the last pair of Loake boots I bought lasted well over ten years. Looking good, to oneself at least, helps to give you the confidence to look the world in the eye and tell it when to f#ck off when necessary... Not everything can be reduced to materialism and the fundamentally acquisitive nature of much of mankind.I have always been troubled by that aspect of mankind.

The shoes I have with leather soles I tend not to wear much
