37. Converse.

Every day is Casual Friday in my world, and actual Casual Fridays tend towards the positively ratty:

I'm not big on promoting massive corporations selling over-priced goods, especially since there are alternatives like No Sweat Shoes (http://www.nosweatstuff.com.au/index.html), but I have a soft spot for chucks that I just can't shake. I bought this pair five years ago before going trekking across the Mediterranean. Since then, they have seen me through rock-climbing, wading through shrubbery, many nights of dancing and, of course, several hundreds of kilometres of walking. They look hideous, but are still the comfiest, lightest shoes I have alongside with my Ecco sandals (which have saved me from limping on particularly long walks).

Protect your feet: those stilettos might make your feet look amazing now, but bunions will not do so twenty years from now.
