there is a certain site where a man posts photos of men wearing the most awful dress shoes possible, and many of the world's leading shoo daddies are subscribed to it.

I've been subscribed to it for years too. For eg, plenty of men wearing vinyl bicycle toe square toe loafers with plastic soles. When l checked all the followers there were many big shoo stars including Daniel Wegan, the bloke with over 50 of the world's best bespoke shoes etc.
I think the reason why many of us have subscribed to the site is because it makes us extra appreciate what we have. Many of us are lucky to have the shoos that we do. We probably all come from humble shoo beginnings, and we never have forgotten our first steps into the shoo world.
