I made the mistake a couple of years ago and took an unworn, right out of the box, on vacation to DR. The heels rubbed my feet raw and bleeding, so raw that the shoes now have some serious stains on the inside. Moral of the story, wear them before taking them to the beach, as once they fully broke in, they became quite comfortable. Just that first few days were hell.....good thing it was an all-inclusive, so no shortage of drinks to dull the pain....
My two pairs were amazing right out of the box.

What's the consensus - should we expect a better sale than $75 off in the next month or so? I need to buy a pair of Park Aves., which I understand to not go on sale very often. Should I pull the trigger today?

Having unpacked my sewing stuff, it looks like it is time to construct some custom masks for wearing to the store. There is some information on it on the main landing page of SF, and this saves the store bought kind for medical people. They require cotton, wool and silk. Sounds like a job for some unused shoe bags and silk pocket squares I have not been using. I will whip up one in the morning.

AE Heritage spectators (walnut/bone). They were originally golf shoes, but I had them resoled with leather:

I got a pair back when MTO's were run out of the office of Paul's assistant. Got butyl soles without the spikes. Dead stock other than that.

Traditionally I break them out on Easter morning with seersucker. This year ,,, well, we'll see.
