Saw an Ebay listing for a pair of AE Leyland. Judging by the last photo in the auction, these might actually be owned by Jim Leyland.

But why did he do a half sole?!?

I mistakenly let my oxblood Daltons get sun damaged, so I just had them revamped. Better then the original patina from AE actually.

Wow, those are pretty!

I would love to get my hands on an old Florsheim imperial, either 93602 or 605. I’ve never seen one In 14e. Do they exist? Or do they run wide?

Sadly, you are right on the edge of finding a fit at 14e. The largest e is a 13. There is a 14 and 15, but only in d width.

- You will be able to choose from a black, buff, or a translucent brown

I am assuming this is the sole edge color options. Anyone have a picture of what buff or translucent brown looks like?

Thanks!

Fixed income?

If you have never had menudo, I highly recommend it. Around here it is the breakfast of champions. Who needs Wheaties.

Gotta love the stomach of cow soup. If you are really lucky you get a foot or maybe some mystery parts that no one can identify.

Pozole is better than menudo every time. Albondigas for a close second.

Ok so I’m in Geneva - where do I go to try that? Thanks @Shoenut

El rayo burritos y guacamole in St. Charles does a good menudo on the weekends. Drink too much on Saturday and stop in Sunday morning. Or just stick with the hole in the wall joints. Just stay off of 3rd Street.

Pozole is a holiday thing. It has real pork meat in it. What fun is that.

The first time I had tripe was in Italy on my first visit as a young boy. I had no idea what I was eating but liked it. Now I can rarely find anybody to make it for me.

My wife will make it in a red sauce with olives, pine nuts and capers. She says it is the French way.

For buff, look at a Sea Island or a brown Strandmok as reference, and the translucent brown will be the same brown we put on green and blue last time. I can try to find a picture if you need one!

Do these tend to run TTS? Wide?

 

[Lionel Hutz]

I finally consolidated my various shoe polish tupperwares

I’m having some difficulty coming to grips with the absurdity of this.

Worst part about the consolidation is she realized how much shoe polish crap I really have

For what it's worth, the 93602 pair I have, in my brannock size of 10.5 3E, fits close to like a glove. Whereas my AE shell MacNeil in the same size offers a bit more room width-wise and in length. The latter however is also much more broken in, and so, perhaps a bit of shoe stretching could still get you there? The experts would have to weigh in. Also, I just described my entire "exotic" shoe collection. lol. Currently.

I think we need pictures! Also, what about welt stitching?
