    I’m a huge advocate of using “ugly but serviceable” stuff. That said, my-day-to-day shoes are wearing to the point that I can tell what the ants had for lunch. Not sure I can get away with making my own leather moccasins.

      It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach though. No one is going to blame you for buying day to day shoes.

        Sure, but it’s not about shoes. It’s about everything. People NEED cars and flights for family connections and toys for their kids to keep themselves sane and clothes and food and lightbulbs and either paper towels, or detergent to wash cloth napkins. Personally, I’m addicted to coffee, but most people work paycheck to paycheck and aren’t out spending on frivolous stuff.
