Before going shopping, you need to decide on your fashion item and your “wear case.”
I need casual shoes ( ) for the office and outside. They need to be classier than tennis shoes ( ).

Go to a store with the broadest selection of shoes.

Ask a store assistant to
bring you very different kinds
of casual shoes.

Store assistant’s responsibility
The assistant knows the possibility space of shoes. By bringing you very
different casual shoes, you should learn about the (theoretical) edges of the space. This will help you find your
desired shoes quicker.Store’s possibility space of inventory

However, don’t trust the assistant’s
recommendations as they may be trying to sell you high margin items that might not represent the true edges of the space.

Share a picture of the shoes together with 3 fashionably conscious friends and ask which is
most appropriate for casual wear.

Pay attention to what your friends say about shoe shape. You will
learn about the problems of each shape, which will guide you to an
appropriate one. You can’t wear those with shorts,
bro!

Keep adjusting the shoes you grab based on your friends’ feedback until your friends seem to agree on the shape.

My friend found a shoe shape on the internet
but my store didn’t have it, so I went
elsewhere.

Once you’ve figured out what shape to get, start looking for more of these shoes. You can
now inject your preferences in since you should be an expert
in what’s acceptable.

Final step: win.(If you picked shoes that
happen to be on sale and you didn’t notice it, then you’ve
earned bonus points.)
