Not to be pedantic, but it does have a certificate; it's just not one that's widely trusted. Details from Firefox on my MacBook Pro:



The shoebank certificate was issued by Symantec.

The problem is that Symantec certificates issued before 2016-06-01 are not trusted anymore. Any certificates signed by such a Symantec CA is also not trusted anymore:

Distrust of Symantec TLS Certificates – Mozilla Security Blog

A Certification Authority (CA) is an organization that browser vendors (like Mozilla) trust to issue certificates to websites. Last year, Mozilla published and discussed a set of issues with one ...

Put pandemic time to good use to score these BNIB walnut shell Daltons on the bay.

Feel very lucky to get these but my plan to limit 2020 purchases continues to be a joke

I stand corrected. Always willing to learn. I did check out the security information, but it says I have visited the site 510 times. That **** just can't be right. Right?

Agreed. That is probably missing all the times you checked on your phone.

I got my first pair of drivers (from L.L. Bean) back in 2001 when I bought my first GTI; they were a great help when I went out to do some spirited driving (which I did pretty often; that car was a ton of fun to drive at the edge). I still have them in the back of the closet somewhere, even though the soles are worn through the nubs; seems I can't bear to throw them out. I finally replaced them last year with a pair of Rancourt drivers in Natty CXL (I haven't had a car with a clutch since 2013, so they're not really practical, but I do like the style)...

(Talking to myself again...) Hey, speaking of Natty CXL Rancourt Drivers:

Spoiler: Just changed into these...

Don't feel bad -- I'm sure I've visited Shoebank more than 510 times.

They were initially listed in all sizes and widths (full run); but now only an odd hodge-podge of sizes and widths is offered (by contrast, the camel suede strandmok is listed for all sizes and widths). Suggesting that the denim Standmok is indeed being discontinued. I had asked our hostess online here for some confirmation of the status of that one, but it seems she did not see the query.

After my order was confirmed, my size is now unavailable, seems discontinued to me! I wonder why, maybe a limited amount of denim suede?

 

[ProfilaBinding]

I highly doubt they would discontinue the denim color so soon, especially because they just released it in the new catalog. It's much more likely that they are low on stock because of the pandemic and the inability to make new pairs at the moment.

Thanks! How does the sole compare to “real” Dainite?

The AE sole has a little more texture to it, like a little stubble. The primary part of the sole has the same thickness as my brown Strandmok with Dainite. The heel stack is very different. To me, the Dainite has a slightly more rubbery feel to it. All said, it seems very comparable, but I do sort of wish it was the Dainite (it is the same price) just because... Doesn’t really matter; I’m over that now.

Since these are lined is it safe to assume I should go with my 65 last size as opposed to the unlined Strandmok which I have been able to wear a more narrow size (8E in the Strandmok vs 8EEE in the PA and Strand)

It fits just like my brown Strandmok, which is unlined.

the shoebank.com site does not have a SSL certificate as it doe snot collect information. I think the browser is just sensitive to .com sites without SSL.

If using Safari on a Mac, this is not an uncommon "warning message". If YOU ARE SURE you are going to the correct URL, ignore it. If you got redirected to something you don't recognize, pay attention and enter at your own risk.

Those look great!

Non AE, but the freakin Wolverine 1K boots (CXL MiUSA, not the AE version) "broke" today while working, something in the arch area went "SNAP" and then no arch support and no my right foot hurts like hell. Guess I chose the wrong work boot for moving 2 Cu Yards of mulch today. So tonight, taking it easy.....

Spoiler: Non AE for chillin' this evening

 

[armedferret]

No AE photo cause I'm wearing 405s while the missus cracks the tito's and fires up the blender, but we may have just done something very awesome that will eclipse the plague doctor and her ferrets photo.

All in good time though.....just waiting for a few purchases to arrive.
