Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II - Page 960

Who cares how many shoes someone has...what matters is the quality and if they make you look forward to putting them on. There's a lot of technical shoe speak on SF mostly from guys who sell and collect shoes but there's no way I would ever want to get so deep into shoes of all things.

It used to be the same way with me for high end audio....listening to audio heads go on and on about transparency, low end weight and midrange liquidity and always upgrading components till one day I just got myself a cool set and no longer feel the need to buy more equipment...just enjoy what I have.

Fiddler, don't forget the green marker tweak to improve the quality of cds

If they sell as well, it's usually for a couple of extra dollars in the pocket to... buy more for themselves. Seems like harmless fun to me.

Why so touchy? I was not trying to be disparaging or contentious....I recognise that some guys on here really do get under the skin of shoe construction and that's no problem for me. Why they do it carries no interest for me and neither does their definition of what constitutes a lot. I like some of your vintage shoes.

Isn't posting on a message forum, which is dedicated to men's shoes and clothing, about how you don't understand the fascination with men's shoes worse than the posts about the intricacies and styles of shoes?

I fully understand the fascination ( I never said I didn't)....I also understand that some would want to delve far deeper into it than just casual enthusiasts. I can't be bothered to go that deep but that doesn't mean I am critical of those who do. I hope I cleared that up for you.

Hippopotamus (not kidding)...or a warthog?

Elephant perhaps?
