The on the left looks like patent leather. Do not wear patent leather.
No they just appear shiny in the picture.
Both of these shoes are unacceptable for a job where you're expected to know better. When would you be wearing them?
Don't get something with such a thick rubber sole.
No. Those are awful. Which is probably why you posted them.
That's NOT why I posted them. Narrow oxfords hurt my feet so I need wide shoes.
There are plenty of nice-looking wide-fitting shoes. Most Allen Edmonds shoes come in EEE fittings. I know a lot of Church's shoes do as well (the UK equivalent is a G or H fitting).
No. These shoes are obnoxious and ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure many shoe makers have different width options (D,E,F) or something?
Those look like something a goth kid would wear though.
