My sneakers have worn out to the point of there being a hole in the fabric on a side which is visible as a crocodile's eye opening and closing

When I walk. Not that I'm ashamed of it. I couldn't care less about the shoes I wear. Just the frustration of not getting paid enough to be able to afford new sneakers while also paying for food and self grooming. I bought this pair 18 months ago and have worn it almost every single day since. Good quality chaps. Got them on a discounted price too. I just wish that for the step count required in my job, they would pay me a parallel amount. I shouldn't be preoccupied with impending financial crisis if they really want me to perform for their company.
And don't they want me to be presentable?
