    OK, people, I need advice. I want to buy some shoes for starting my PhD in September at a pretty prestigious school (I want to look nice!). I want something nicer than sneakers but not as fancy as my dress shoes.

    Anyway, which do you think looks best/ most professional/ good for all-day wear?

    1) Desert Boot-Men in Burgundy Suede - Mens Desert Boot from Clarks
    2) Un.Sheridan in Dark Brown Leather - Mens Shoes from Clarks
    3) Cantin Sole in Burgundy Leather - Mens Shoes from Clarks
    4) Wallabee Run in Burgundy Suede - Mens Shoes from Clarks
    5) Un.Kenneth in Dark Brown Leather - Mens Shoes from Clarks
    6) Denton Cap in Burgundy Brush Off Leather - Mens Shoes from Clarks

    Looks like something my dad would wear. Nice, low-key, sleek, very professional.

    Breaking Bad ftw.

    Also you used "things" in the description. Almost as useful as "stuff".

    Bro, whatever but third and fourth ones! The third one is too formal and the fourth one seems that you're going to the beach or on a boat :/

    No. I live about 30 minutes south east of it. And everyone wears them around here even if they don't have a boat (many of my students parents do).

    Ne'er mind.

    I meant Gates, not you. However...and then? So I have to say to him "Yeah, wear them?" :dry:

    I don't like them. But, obviously, if instead Gates likes them...

    Some of my distant cousins are from there but I only ever met one of them in DC. But yeah, I don't want to appear that I'm on a boat...
