for work at the office, don't need sexpensive leather shoes. bata leather wing tipped slip-on shoes will do. only $169. slip-on is best as you don't need to sit down to tie shoe laces. in asia, men and women are required to remove shoes very frequently at own home or someone else's home. moreover, a loose shoe lace in sg will get shit and pee on it as you drag it through the (wet) floor of a pubic bathroom. get 2 pairs as you need to rotate them using one pair for mondays, wednesdays, fridays and other pair for tuesdays, thursdays, saturdays (for most companies, sg need to do away with saturday as a workday). both will last you at least 6.9 years as wear and tear in sg due to humidity and amount of walking are on the very high side. you may wish to keep an atas black pair ($696) in a box for special occasions such as weddings, gala dinners, opera nights, symphony evenings, black tie events, and funerals. no point having a sexpensive pair and wearing them daily for work.
