Somewhat funny as I've seen it first hand. If you wear sandals or flip flops 100 miles away from the beach women think you're a poorfag. Better off to wear some low key designer boat shoes. Poor roasties won't understand but wealthy and middle class roasties will question you and be suspicious.

Everything else I've found either signals that you're poor or indentured wagecuck(sneakerfags with 300+$ yeezy's or adidas, boots - either hipster faggot or blue collar construction worker, hiking boots/shoes - crunchy granola type, and loafers/dress signals try to hard literal faggot or white collar wagecuck enslaved for life.)

He said how to display wealth without signaling too much.

I know plenty of rich elitists in greenwich that wear boat shoes and you wouldn't know the difference. Just like sandals no socks are kinda like a big fuck you to established norms. Boat shoes are in a weird category themselves since they aren't necessarily stylish at all yet convey that you are either have your shit together or are a poorfag. 50/50 odds. You keep roasties guessing anon. Also this really applies to white roasties. I think there might be a bit of white hatred by non-whites to boat shoe wearers since they don't get it.

Seriously though OP. Invest in snake skin. Single piece pythons are the best, but you can go with rattlesnake if Brown is your color. Every time I wear these bad boys out EVERY BITCH want my number. Snake skin is exotic and automatically communicates wealth. They're not even that expensive, and if you take care of them they could last a decade or so. Just don't forget to buy exotic leather conditioner, spray every 3 months and it will keep the scales intact. And alligator is so overdone, ostrich looks freakish, so snakeskin is the best way to go.

Wealthy people get the best shit, including the best profits, some benevolents might include their neet weeb fren in these exclusive profits but more rarely will go above and beyond. Fake it until you make it is real, there are fiscal reasons to signal, it is merely that you have the signals backwards and think spending money on a lambo counts.

For an example, poor pajeets come to this board and larp about one million bit coins, the wealthy are the ones larping about losing all their money in the crash. The reverse larp is more accurate, the trick was to know the original larp to reverse, that is how i know you can never make it.

Well it did buddy. Shoes aren't everything, sure. But you cannot deny shoes communicate a lot more than even a shirt. You could have a $3,000 custom fit Italian suit, but if you wear your sneakers with it the look is ruined. Old worn-out shoes communicate poverty. Mud on the shoes indicates somebody who either walks or works outside depending on the type of shoe. Square toed shoes indicate a brainlet who's trying to look sharp, but shops at Kmart.

Why snakeskin tho? Snakeskin is the only exotic leather that is not overdone, looks nice with a variety of outfits and communicates wealth and status instantly. Anyone can buy black leather shoe. You want to communicate to those roasties you want to pump, that you're not just anybody.

Buy relatively expensive shoes, nothing that looks cheap, fit your style and have various pairs of shoes that are always new looking, when they get too scuffed or whatever, throw them out, don't keep cleaning them like a cuck
Depending on the occasion and what you plan on wearing, pick a pair of your shoes
Have between 5-10 pairs of shoes nearly organized in your apartment / house
