    I seriously disagree with their opinion of trousers breaking at the shoe. That is sincerely up to the individual, but in my belief trousers look so much better if they do not break at all and sit perfectly on your shoe when you stand. That is a sign of good tailoring and that you care about a personalized fit in your clothing.
