What kind of shoes for going out to the clubs? I don't want to mess up my really nice shoes (dirty and wet floors),
All Stars? Vans? Clarks (some colors of Clarks get dirty 'nicely')?

What is the most durable type of shoe material? I am going to get custom shoes made but I want something that will last years. At the moment I am considering either ostrich or crocodile. Any thoughts? Also what type of material is good in case it rains and wont get too damaged?

Shell Cordovan is probably your best bet. I'm also a fan of Horween Chromexcel leather.
Don't go with exotics if you want something durable. IMO, those are shoes you break out occasionally, not frequently.

I have this nasty habit of kicking off my shoes. Its probably not the best for shoe health.
How do you guys do it? Seems like a huge pain in the ass to sit down and unknot and untie each shoe. Whats your process when coming home and removing shoes?

- You might be able to score a pair of Johnson & Murphy's in your price range if you are smart about it (I've pulled a few at $120, so I know it can be done, just not without a sale).
- Johnson & Murphy is a solid bang for your buck
- I'd forget about Gucci for a long time. Prices can be insane (like $5,000+). You might be able to get a "cheap" pair for $500, but you won't be buying those because you like, but rather because you want to say you wear Gucci shoes. I'd honestly buy a Lamborghini before a pair of $5,000 shoes (and I'd have to be really fucking liquid to buy a Lamborghini)

Just bought my first pair of Sperry top sider boat shoes and damn these things hurt a lot when I wear them around even with socks. I was reading online that I should dip them in water and then walk around in them to wear them in.
They rub a lot on the back of my foot and I will get blisters if I wear them very often.

I had to throw some extra cushion in mine, and for the rubbing use moleskins.

These brown Ecco New City Lights get me the most compliments. I shine them up good and they go with just about anything, even jeans if you wear a nice shirt also. I bought these in 2005 and they are still going strong. I wear them about twice a month. I believe the closest thing Ecco has to these things now are their Windsor Plain Toes.
I agree with other posters that it's better to buy a $250-400 pair of shoes from Ecco, Alan Edmonds, or Alden than a $100 pair from Timberland or similar brand because you will get much more value from the better shoes. The latter two are higher quality shoes than Ecco, but IMO aren't quite as comfortable.
