Well, I have to think about comfort too, but not as much. It wasn't until recently that I really started getting into men's footwear. No guilt, that's a legitimate issue that needed tending to. Stay focused and keep it up!
As an off-hand remark in regards to men's style. It is so unbelieveably expensive, and as a college student it is even worse. I mean I would love a pair of double monkstraps, but I can't really drop like 200 for a nice pair. On top of the fact you can't just buy shoes like those and not have an outfit to go along with it. It's crazy...
That's true but it's been my experience that men's stuff is actually built to last. Brands that I used to trust to last a decent amount of time have degraded in quality recently. Lots of things cost $200 in the women's fashion world but you can still end up with shite.
