In NYC, pointed shoes are in fact very functional for two reasons: (1) to get the cockroaches in the corners and (2) to kick non-DNC voters.
Unless you want shoes that scream “retiree of deserving age,” pointed shoes are about the only kind you can find in Tokyo (assuming you’re looking for leather shoes). Thankfully the Japanese shoe company Regal still offers a few non-pointy shoes.
I think pointed shoes are, however, better than Crocs when considering footwear as a whole, regardless of purpose, etc.
