They don't seem to slip at all, it just feels like they are curving into my Achilles. Best guess is that the Poron insole has my foot lifted a bit in the shoe, making the fit not ideal. Going to try to soften the heel counter to see if that helps.

That shoe not only has Poron, but I believe it has a secondary heel cushion on top of the Poron. In all my B.B. I have had to at least pull the extra heel pad out and in one case all the Poron. Starting with softening the heel counter seems like the best approach.

How long do you suppose I give Brooks Brothers to ship my shoes before I become enraged? Thanks!

Yesterday.

So unfortunately i know exactly what your talking about. Both my BB macneil and BB shelton do that to me too. Ive worn both a lot and after serious breakin it gets better but doesnt go away. There was talk in the padt about this - something particularly hard with the combination of poron plus a rigid double sole. If i were you and you cant stand it id attempt to rip out the poron.

We had a record-shattering warm day here. So that meant:
First:


Second: (Rush Street)


Third: (grilling some spicy venison brats.)

Like AE, they get a little slow during the big sales

Academy is here and I like it a lot. Fits better than my alumnus going up a half and in a letter
However, I did just get myself a nice little $200 ticket downtown so something is going back. It’ll likely be the Liverpool. The one I got is twisted in a way that it’s rubbing like crazy on the back of my heel

I believe Rohm does not want me in the city. After parking and tickets, I am not in the mood. Lol.

I'm seeing a few AE boot styles at 40% off at Nordstrom right now. Limited sizes. HM, Surrey, Caen. Act now for best selection!

I can’t believe that I forgot this...
In continuation of the theme with my running socks (wiener dog in an astronaut costume):

These wiener dog socks were a Christmas present.

The closest AE store is 2.5 hours away, I'm going to Wisconsin ( 4.5 hour drive) and going to Milwaukee flagship AE store, so they better have some good stuff as there is an Alden store on my way home

The AE store in the Pfister? I wasn’t aware it was considered the flagship store.
Also where is the Alden store?

PSA: Avoid the La Quinta at the Austin TX airport at all costs. I've got a lovely rash (the tiny little water-filled blisters that look like miniature zits almost) thanks to either their bedding detergent or something living therein.

And my bathtub was full of ants when I went to shower in the morning.

Anyway.

3 more days of "work" then head to Augusta for a couple weeks of "work". Anyone wanna meet up for drinks and Broadstreets?

Sounds like you probably got bed bugs, actually.

Correct.

@armedferret , check your luggage reeeealllll closely, and whether they’re dirty or not, wash all your clothing upon return home to be safe.

Bed bugs are visible to the naked eyes (and can look just like ants to the uninitiated). Double check seems in your suitcase/bag.

And please don’t tell me you went to the Emergency Department for your rash . . .
