I have a pair actually.
about £12 quid from Peacocks if I recall. they do perfectly well for weddings, funerals and job interviews and have lasted about 5 years, mostly by only being worn 2-3 times a year. I'm glad I didn't put more money into them.

So over the life of the shoes
You've been to about 15 weddings/interviews or funerals.

That seems like a lot.

sounds about right
about one wedding a year, give or take, the same with funerals (4 grand parents between myself and the ex wife and at least one friend) and a rash of job interviews culminating in getting my current job. I suppose it's been a time when grand parents are dying off coinciding with people settling down and getting married and also changing jobs for me.

it's all bee quieter lately.

That makes the shoes less than a pound an event.
Bargain.

yeah, but square toes...

well, squarish. they were cheap formal shoes that fitted my feet (also square)
and I was skint and in a hurry, but I've felt no urge to replace them. actually, thinking about it it may be the squareness that makes them comfy, pointy shoes don't fit my feet well at all.
