I wish. My issue really is I deal with c-level investment banking types (City and Canary Wharf) who are sell-side and still dress to the nines. As such, matching suit important, and proper shoes. My shoes are Allen Edmonds cap toes- well broken in, Goodyear welt/cork footbed, etc. They are as comfortable as any proper dress shoe. However, between college and after, 20 years of ski racing and coaching have taken a toll on my feet; lots of weird bone and tendon issues.
And on a practical matter, a new piece of luggage is way cheaper than wardrobe
