Not my size, but I'm not familiar with that model? Pictures?

Beautiful shoe but I can't make the width work.

Curious question. I see many of you posting shoes you're wearing while working from home. Do people actually wear shoes inside their house? Not judging just curious how many people actually do that?

My wife doesn't like it, and I don't really like walking around in our apartment with shoes either, especially right now with the bug that can live on surfaces for 17 days. I usually just wear them a few hours at my home office desk. I'm limiting my outdoor shoes right now to mostly my rubber-soled shoes. I can use a lysol wipe on the bottoms to kill the virus if it's on there.

@7_rocket I'm the same size as you and I think 30 inch would be fine for a derby lacing. I tend to prefer 33 for my balmorals.

Early morning shot while I wait for the bus to go to work, Higgins Mill with some 18 oz selvedge, not sure which are more tanks the boots or the jeans!

Time for someone to get their Strandmok...

Almost "mechanically," AE is running the extra % off closeouts sale that usually happens the last week of March. I sort of scratch my head at all these stores - I keep getting (like I'm sure you guys do) all these catalogs in the mail advertising stuff in-store even though everything will be closed throughout the whole date span. Gotta adapt, make changes, improvise sometimes.

I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but given AE's track record with CaC and wrong inventory levels on the webpage, selling stuff already out of stock....I might have postponed this until at least a couple stores were back. Just a thought

Go to Home Depot. In my neck of the woods, they never ran out or even had an empty shelf.

My local Home Depot didn't run out either, but they did have a limit on purchase(2) sign posted.

Buy a lota

I looked this up yesterday when you commented it, I'm confused by it, I may have to actually read how it works other than look at pictures, either way we have bidet's in both bathrooms at home ?

It's very easy:

1. Pour water in to into lota.
2. Pour water out over your rear
3. Use less TP

For quite some time I was a big believer in taking off shoes when entering the house, or switching to slippers or indoor shoes. It just seemed more sanitary. But my wife adamantly refuses to do it, and then we got a dog so... now I wear shoes inside the house. Like Audog, I vacuum often and steam clean once a week. IMO no shoes inside the house is a big deal if you've got carpeted floors -- and if you've got really nice carpet, it's imperative -- but it's a lot less pressing if your floors are hardwood or tile. it's a nice custom, and before we got a dog I was all in favor of it, even though my wife wasn't, but once the puppy came the floors got dirty anyway so I threw in the towel.
