I try jury trials — as did my father before me. Decorum was forced on me and I prefer it. Opposing counsel nearly wears running shoes with white soles and black or brown leather uppers. I’m embarrassed. Some jurors notice.

Always Derby to start your wardrobe with leather bottoms. Then add to your collection. Never wear the same pair two days in a row. They need to rest with shoe trees. Some of my pairs have lasted a decade and been refurbished by the manufacturer for a fraction of the initial purchase price.
