More relaxed attire accepted now and the Rossi's last two years.
I was like you, new pair of shoes for work once a year in the sales - Julius Marlows more often than not. 12 months wear tops.
In 2016 I brought a pair of RM Williams Black Craftsmen half price at their outlet store at harbour town for $250.
In 2019 I had them re-healed and soled $180.
They're still going strong.
Basically I've spent less in the last six years on a pair of top quality boots than if I brought a new pair of shoes each year like I used to.
