    The last 4 sets of shoes I have worn were Florsheim Comfortech and they are good for 3 mile walks - but I am getitng older and have decided to buy these better looking English shoes. "Last 4 sets" What condition are those shoes in now? Do you still wear all 4 pairs? My last 4 pairs of higher...

    Vasectomies for young men

    FWIW I think it's got its probs - e.g. complacency re: STDs. works best in context of a committed long term relationship with kids already. For a young guy it's about on a par with getting a tattoo of your GF's name on your bicep True on the STD bit, of course same argument is that any woman...

    Chukka boots to wear for work

    The item description says "Trooper 90085 Welt Construction. Made in Brown Leather with Goodyear Welt construction with VIBRAM rubber sole." I've seen a variety of different "goodyear welts" from rubber welt strip stitched to the boot in a speed stitch fashion then stitched to a bit of rubber...

    Which boots to get?

    For casual boot, I would think the Suede is better. That's sort of iffy, its definately "more" casual. But that also paints it into "too" casual, where as the captoe blucher boot under a nice pair of slacks is more than wearable in a formal setting, particularly if you take a few minutes to...

    What to wear to a wedding if no details are provided?

    Another indication is the style of invitation, and location of the reception. Small church with the local recreation hall in the middle of no where you might be over dressed if you weren't wearing jeans. If they've invited you to a country club on formal stationary and registered at some sort...

    Bespoke shoes

    A good shoe CAN eliminate some orthotics. Exceptions - I would never eliminate an orthotic that was provided for diabetic conditions. But if what you need is heel control and arch support there are a few things that a well fit dress shoe can have. As mentioned a good fitting shoe, with an...

    Shorts: What will be your "1 step above the masses" pair this summer?

    My rule about shorts. Never for business, Never for airline travel, Never for going out in the evening. But if it is a hot sunday and I am in the yard, or at the grocery store, then I will wear a nice pair of Khaki shorts. My oddity, I do not ever use jean shorts. Only Khaki. And I rarely...

    Motorcycles

    New Harley Davidson Blackline. Discuss. Front tire is not beefy enough for that bike. IMO. And for a factory bike, the cable routing looks hella sloppy. That bike to me should move more towards a bobber style with a beefy front end. But I am also fairly anti-harley. I think people give...

    help me identify a piece of art/artist

    The Logo looks like an M over Y P. And the signature looks like M.Y.P_____________ Original Rendering 16/25 Title? Fri Eastbound? I'd assume these are easier to read in person.

    Which color for AE Player's Shoes

    I've been thinking about getting a pair in dark brown Cordovan, to be sort of a faux-Darlton (as I wear EEE), any thoughts on that? Do they do the player shoe in cordovan? I have the Cambridge (cordovan wingtip balmoral) and MacNeal (cordovan longwing blucher). I would do the navy, as I have...

    Does Allen Edmonds suck? (Seriously--not a Re-evolving troll thread)

    AE has terrible lasts. I have yet to find one that doesn't feel strange to the bottom of my feet, or one that has an adequately roomy toe box. They are way too narrow in the toe box, even the wide ones. And I've tried different lasts. To me however the lasts fit well. I have some on the 7, 5...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    that resoled pair looks nice....doesn't seem worth it though considering how much DBs are You don't need to pay to resole a shoe like this. New soles are cheap, 15-20 depending on sole and where you purchase, less if you can get them wholesale. Some glue. Get the old sole off, usually when...

    Quick question about political correctness...

    Thinking its racist is where you went racist. Had this debate with a coworker the other day. The difference between being racist and working to hide it, or just being inappropriately incorrect by normal happenstance. Of course with the whole Obama birth certificate fiasco my coworker tried to...

    Walk around city pants in Europe

    Get some slacks that fit you nicely. Don't need to be super expensive, but not jeans or shorts. Many light weight slacks are more "breezy" than jeans anyway. And you can dress them up/down to save on packing space.

    What to wear with spectator shoes?

    I personally would not be owning them as a 1st, or even 5th pair of shoes. There is so much more to being well dressed than having a flashy summer shoe. Of course if you don't dress up ever except for being flashy, that's different. But being that I wear some sort of dress shoe ~6 days a week...

    Motorcycles

    Surely you mean bump start, although mine I use 3rd, 2nd the engine still locks up the tire. Amazingly I've a number of times had air be the culprit. Usually its not the filter but a mouse nest or similar that was built inside the filter housing. Of course my mother calls me this week with a...

    Zegna Reversible Belt HALP

    On the plus side, reversible belts w/ the spring loaded pivot don't fit that nicely. The hole you want to use is the one that stretches the adjuster open.
