One more thought in this regard: If you're hiring on a budget, and you already have dress shoes, then you don't need to hire shoes at all. The Oxfords, toe caps and brogues will all do fine. Thus the "Hire shop" look also suggests an element of scam that makes knowledgeable people roll their eyes sympathetically. That is in no way a criticism of the wearer, but rather of the money-grubbing instincts that such footwear may infer.
