9. Well I don't call them "hard shoes" either

Usually "Dress shoes".

Sometimes "leather soles". (since my dress shoes have leather soles&quot

But I usually just call them my "Aldens" since thats my preferred manufacterer. (probably the last maker of mens dress shoes here in American by the way)

I don't know of this particular situation, but I nearly killed myself walking outside in a new pair of Aldens with yet unscuffed leather soles (they usually scuff up in a few minutes, wearing off the top layer).

Anyway there I was in my brand new shoes and I walked across a wet manhole cover. This was dry day in San Francisco. DOWN i went hard. like walking on ice!
