Haha. I can join on the running shoe side, but only because I like to mix them up and also buy bulk if I have a model that works well. I don't want to get caught in next year's new model that doesn't fit as well.

Other than that I am glad I live in the US where I can wear what I want. I gladly look at everyone else in flip flops in return. I do buy quality clothing but it is jeans & t-shirts / flannel shirt for me. Dressing up is complete BS to me and I prefer working at small companies where I don't feel like I am in a costume all day for work. There was a lot of social control and pressure to keep certain "standards" in earlier generations. You guys go ahead and enjoy dressing up but don't glorify those days or criticize anyone for wearing what they want.
