To me there is something very comforting in these images of Prince Charles' shoes. Here is a man whose clothing allowance is probably unlimited, and yet he prefers relatively simple oxfords, 40 years old in some cases. Notice also that they are highly polished and well taken care of (patched, yes, but undoubtedly well soled and well heeled). It reminds me of the dress code adopted by a well known New Hampshire boarding school at the time it went co-ed and abandoned coat-and-tie. From there on out, its only concern was "neat, clean & in good repair." We also have an interesting opportunity here to observe various amounts of break in Charles' trousers.

As likely as not the shoes are his grandfathers. The older I become the less I like the look of a large break. It makes a mess of the foot.
