I did pick it up on Amazon but it's not too costumey https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Craft-Breeches-Lederhosen-Oktoberfest/dp/B01I86TTOK
Definitely won't wear any sandals. The black shoes are "Merrell Men's Beta Flash Low Shoes - Black" the brown are more of a sneaker style with a white sole across the bottom ( very obvious it's a sneaker)
Would it maybe be best just to rent a pair of Haferlschuh there?
What are you doing at home that is not effective? Do you need the structure of class to motivate you?
I'd like to repeat some of the advice I gave in this thread - start with evaluating your German using the Deutsche Welle tests and go from there. If you took German for a few years but struggle understanding things I estimate that you are around B1 level.
For self-study at a higher level I found the series "Deutsch üben" from Hueber very useful, I would especially recommend the parts "Wortschatz und Grammatik" to somebody living here.

Nah, they were blue corn tortilla chips like these ones, but were flavoured with cinnamon.

An American who never lived in Germany wrote a book about German sayings, nursing rhymes, folklore etc. He claimed that a surprising amount of them dealt with shit and used psychoanalytical methods to prove that this meant the 'German national character' has an anal erotic fixation, which led to the Holocaust.
Yeah. That escalated quickly.
He was not a trained psychoanalyst, or even psychologist. He had a master in English language and considered himself a psychoanalytical folklorist.
This guy, Alan Dundes, was witty and could write. he was also a professor at the UC Berkeley. His book was a hit and his hypothesis made it into mainstream pop science and became a meme in the end.
To be fair, he also published a book full of Holocaust jokes, which pissed off his fellow Jews, and described American football as a ritualized form of homosexual rape, according to Time Magazin. So we don't feel singled out. The football book was the one that got him the highest number of death threats, btw. The scat book received better reviews in Germany than in the USA, which shows that we do have humor. And also that we are a bit masochistic.
Edit: I may have shortened his hypothesis in an unfair way, and maybe he knows more about psychoanalysis than I think, but other than Dundes, I don't like Freud and I don't have a weird anal scat fixation. So I could never be bothered to do more than quickly skim his texts.
