Shoes: On my feet all day. Used to wear trainers (tennis shoes) with nice shirt and slacks. Friend got me to change to Merrell leather jungle mocs. Made a tremendous difference in how I look and how I am perceived. If they made the Merrell "Veer" in a width that would fit me, I would wear it in a heartbeat.
Compliments: Agree on complimenting the person not the article. Had to back off on my wife. She thought they sounded "fake" and "needy". I stopped for two weeks. Later, when I told her she looked lovely, she realized how much she missed it. I still compliment her less than before. It's good to have her "want and wait" for it a little.
