I find the standard leather shoes ugly. What's up with the no laces thing?

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
You and me both. My char hated it the entire time she had to wear them, until she got croc skin boots. I imagine them to be extremely bland. I'm half tempted to suggest court shoes as that's what I wear to work, and I do have a few awesome pairs. They would be perfect for the Cantrian businesswomen!

I just picture them sort of like this, I don't think they're too ugly?

Just a little plain.

I don't like them either but the no laces part makes me picture them like loafers.

Nowadays I also imagine them as loafers, but I used to imagine them as having a slit in the middle and being really awkward.

Well aren't you the person who makes the clothes? You don't like it, fix it!
Or just add a laced pair.

Why not add mules? Wood, leather, bit of iron, easy.. Even high heeled mules..
There aren't enough people wearing wing-tips.. But they may be a bit more popular if they were called brogues?.. Unless that's just in the UK..

I think wingtips look too manly. I wish there were regular lace-up shoes but Greek thought there are too many shoes already.

I wore wingtips for a while in my youth. I found they looked very snazzy.

So very wrong...there is really no such thing as too many shoes.

Definitely not! 'Too many shoes' = 404 not found.
As for the wingtips, where I grew up, they have a rather unwholesome reputation. Haha, they are in fact called pimp/mafia shoes. When I see a char wearing them I inwardly grin.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
One of my chars has a pair..
I always thought the dress loafers were a bit more pimp..
But wingtips are just one type of brogue! Why aren't they just called brogues? They have a better name, and I've seen quite a few women wearing brogues over here recently.. maybe after a rename even Seko would wear a pair?
