Everyone has a preference for dress shoes, and loves to express his own taste looking at photos. When it is time to buy, ration comes back and we consider many things such as price and outfit solution. But the real test is how many times we wear them, and if we say we love some so much looking at photos but wear none, it is a shame. Then I surveyed many shoe lovers to check this shame, let us find out.
