Grown men...

...don't wear open toed shoes in public.

This is permissible if (and only if) you live in the Caribbean (or any other year round hot climate), are going to the beach, are walking the dog, are taking out the garbage, are going to or from an athletic activity (you must wear some pristine socks to cover those hammer toes), or get blackmailed into taking your significant other to the grocery store while you just thought you were getting gas.

Sidenote: mowing the lawn, weedwhacking, chainsawing, chopping wood, or any other activity where you could lose a toe is perfectly acceptable in open toed shoes.
