Extraordinary.  Was going to get the navy shell wholecuts but they're out in my size.  This perhaps a better use anyway; what an outstanding piece of footwear.  You have surpassed yourself, Sir.

What's with the stupid laces?!  (Kidding; scroll up...)

Maybe a bit of overload with the socks, but I get where you're coming from.  Only thing is, having looked at your shoes, mine today, and a couple of others recently, I've come to the conclusion that Allen Edmonds make some damned ugly lasts.  Which is a pity as they fit like an old pair of slippers. *sigh*

This is one of the weirdest comments I've seen!

(Ignoring the other one! )

So to, your suit and tie and shirt are all business, but when you look down to the socks, there is a little bit of party going on.

I know what a mullet is.  Started out as a radio competition to name the hair cut about twenty years ago.  It's a fish, originally...anyway, thanks for explaining the reference, I get you now!

I agree about the last. These were 2nds, my 1st shells.

As for the laces, I was trying to liven up the otherwise institutional shoes. The freshman seminar I teach is having dinner at the college president's house, & our school colors are red & black plaid. So, w/o even seeing the plaid bowtie & cufflinks, you're right; it's over top. I prefer to think of it as Jack Donaghy's "power clash."
