If I'm going to a casual bar or on a date I could see myself busting out my nice shoes, but I would never dream of wearing them to a club. That's really the crux of it for me: how does one wear great shoes to a club that get noticed, but which won't get destroyed after the first weekend?
Indeed, I'm sure a lot of us here considered this problem haha.
I think the answer is two separate pairs of nice shoes.
1) One pair is for dates, and things like happy-hour game.
2) Another pair, also nice, for clubs. This pair, you'd need to clean basically after every night out, and then shine up so they look good. Regular maintenance is crucial, otherwise even a top-end shoe will look like you pulled it out of a trash can on the way to the club. That being said, one you are prepared to sacrifice this pair of shoes for a good cause, they will actually last a long time and still look good.
