@ProfilaBinding I think the contrast edge dressing and laces update the Bartlett. Plus, it's technically a chiseled last, which you can faintly recognize in the toebox.

Thanks. Yes, these are actually Alden laces that were included as an extra pair with my 911 shoes. They look better on this shoe than the AE laces. I had to redo the soles 5 times to get it right. I kept screwing it up and finally got it to look decent.

Fuddy duddy day 4, the Bartlett. Okay, so maybe this sock choice was not the best.

So what isn't a fuddy duddy shoe in your mind?

First, you claim some brown gator shoes are... now a nicer version of Strands, the #menswear darling of footwear, is too?

I was waiting for someone to call out my b.s. I was just trolling with the Bartlett.

In general, I think of 3 types of shoes as fuddy duddy:

1. brown gator
2. split toes
3. some wingtips

But then again, the guy in Goodfellas (Ray Liotta) was wearing brown gator loafers, and he's not an old man.

What a great grandfather! It's funny, less than a month ago I bought myself a copy of the Federalist papers. Been so busy I haven't had a chance to read it yet

Read it! Great insight into our founding fathers.

Gator loafers/Sharkskin suit, what's not to love?

The color on those Vibergs is outstanding!

Thanks!

My grand daughter turned a week old yesterday so like any good grandfather I gave her a copy of the constitution and the federalists papers. I don’t want her relying on any other source. Carry on with shoes

Good Call,

I purchased the Federalist Papers from Audible and attempted to listen to them at high speed, which is my typical approach with Audio Books. Let's just say that is not the way to ingest this particular material.

Bourbon HMs today.

Looks more like lizard to me.

Not exactly the high speed material, but worthy of reading/listening.

Me as well I was thinking lizard or snake, seem too small for gator.

You might be right.

Happy Wingtip Wednesday! A bit of a clash but the socks had just arrived, so..

These shoes have real character!

Edited because someone whined to the censorship bureau.

I've half-jokingly referred to no shipping notification several times in here.

There's a reason for that.

Shipping notifications allow you to track the package and know when it's out for delivery.

So you can be there when the package arrives.

Not literally be pulling into the cul de sac as the porch pirate is leaving your stoop with your $725 boots in their hands.

If I'd had one more red light on the way home these would have been gone, and the question then becomes would AE have been willing or able to make them again?

As it stands i need to break out the brush and see if some of the **** on the toes goes away.

Between ashley's behavior (you're on ignore hun so whatever horseshit justification you have for nearly causing my death don't waste your time) and the complete lack of communication that nearly turned these into vaporware i don't see myself buying anything more from AE or recommending them to anyone else (given the carte blanche employees seem to have to share personal information with anyone and everyone, people have to protect personal info these days).

This just got real.

My sister in law had two packages stolen from her porch yesterday. Got it on video.

County "administrative code" (created by appointed bureaucrats with no oversight) mandates anyone with a ring or other "connected" security system MUST allow the police unfettered, warrantless access 24/7. So we dont have cameras.

What i do have is zero ***** to give about re-awakening an IED related back injury to beat the **** out of a thief.

Maybe not going to the hospital, but definitely tripped a few times on her way out of the neighborhood. Ribs are prolly gonna hurt for a few days.
