Flat front as in no ties, or flat front like square toe? Can you take a pic and post it or send it to me?
And I will be honest. I am a girl, so I TOTALLY look at people's shoes and make judgements about them. Not always bad....but judgements
. If you think the judgment is going to be "Those shoes are pretty good, and he maybe couldn't afford to get new super snazzy dress shoes" over "Dude, he has no style", then I say go for it. And this includes $300 brand new shoes that are so ugly that I would say "Dude, he has no style". I would like to think that interviewers understand that we are very poor people and good shoes are expensive. But I am an overly empathetic creature. If I could see them I could make a better call.
