I haven't read through the entire thread, but I think a man should have various styles of shoes for various occasions. I would avoid being locked into a certain style. Constantly staying with a certain style conveys "boring". Especially an old, worn-in, comfortable pair of shoes.
On a more general level concerning initial attraction:
When it comes to women, shoes are EVERYTHING. When a woman looks at a man, she looks at these things in the following order:
1) Face (eyes & mouth)
2) Shoes
This has been proven in studies where they use tracking software to observe what women are visually focusing on. Women will immediately bypass the rest of the body after looking at the face and make an evaluation on the shoes. In other words, gents, they read your personality by your shoes.
Shoes don't have to be expensive in order to aid attraction... Just new-ish and well taken care of. You can even test this out in the field. When you catch a woman smiling at you, watch what she does... She'll zero right in on the shoes.
Women are obsessed with shoes, and a huge percentage of their attention goes there, so it's a good idea as a man to pay a lot of attention to his footwear. I personally think that women use the shoe evaluation because they can accurately read a man's personality from them, just as we can read a woman by her face, makeup, body style, etc.
We all know that gaming is largely a matter of numbers and percentages. Since women's attention is disproportionately high on footwear, a man can really skew the game in his favor with nice footwear and a slight sense of style in the rest of his clothing. It takes only a tiny bit of effort to stand out among the crowd.
