Yeah, like i said, pretty gutting. There is at least one very slightly better dressed thief around my neighbourhood!

 

The tracking service says delivered at a specific time, I arrived home 30 minutes after that time. Maybe the delivery time is not accurate, but it is all the information I have. I've sent off some emails, but the initial indication is that since the postal service marked it as delivered, it is no longer their problem (which i understand). I am also usually very good at getting items delivered to my work, but fucked up this once. Ah well, live and learn.

Think  about that for a few minutes.

If you're a thief, seeing something nice in the box is probably enough motivation. They can go over the details and check StyleForum for the value when they're not standing on a stranger's porch.

 

I'm not quite sure where you went off track there. Maybe reading comprehension isn't your "go-to move," but that's for another thread. Feel free to start it.

Back on track, here are a few other things I saw while at the outlet today.  (p.s. if anyone wants a 2 oz container of venetian shoe cream, they carry them at the Jeffersonville outlet.  $5 I think (?)  but I imagine free shipping if you're buying something.  I picked up a bottle to try.  

 

First,a couple AE for Wolverine boots.  (they don't have any shell seconds, I asked).

 

 

 

and, some interesting AE for wolverine shoes (they had a similar one, but with black grain leather rather than red, you can see it in the above picture):

 

 

Gray boots, as requested:

(they also had the other two brown colors in stock, in seconds)

 

 

Finally, some AE for Ralph Lauren boots.  Supposedly there are LOTS of these available, in most sizes.  I didn't ask the price.  I do like the eyelet rather than speedhook at the top.  

 

 

Lots of options if you're looking for unique boots.
