MacNeil Monday (not to be confused with Fuddy Duddy Friday).

You know, when Congress votes on giving out a few trillion dollars to what seems like everyone but me.

You are not alone brother.

My original plan today was to wear my long-lost brown suede Patriots. I have a hard time getting loafers to fit well, and the Patriot seemed to be one that worked (but barely). They somehow got lost and I could not find them last summer (or the summer before). I recently found them in an athletic shoe box. Evidently my feet grew just enough over the last couple of years that these went from barely wearable to “too short.”
So Plan B called for my Loden suede Dundees. I think this combination looks pretty good.

Can’t wait to try on the Cambridge this weekend. I hope it is clear cut on sizing.

Cambridge is King. Unlike Polo, I am a huge fan of the double JR sole on the 5 last. :D
I thought a double sole would be problematic, but my size the double is proportional. I could see at a size 7 it looking very thick and visually heavy.
Still, definitely more casual...

I've got it, the Jefferson, and the McAllister all in shell. All seem to fit exactly the same. Gotta say though that I'm not a huge fan of a double JR sole on the 5 last.
I have this funny issue with the 5 last. Best break is in 9.5B. Most comfortable fit is 9.5C. I am hoping that Shell will give me enough room to be comfortable and yet have a good break. I may have to wear the 9.5B several times in real conditions to find out. $500 test drive but it is worth it to dial in a size that I am happy with.

I tend to like double sole, commando, or old vibram lug sole on all my dress shoes. If it is ugly, well that ain’t my problem. Feel free to rip out your eyeballs.
