Misaligned lace holes on Leeds drive me a bit crazy.

Hoping for reverse mojo by wearing these to place TS order (which will include marbled dark cognac Leeds)

The real punch to the gut is when I look at the total purchase price in my spreadsheet...

I downloaded smart closet on @Shoenut's recommendation so I could focus on the price per wear. Definitely takes the sting out.

I track total wears, wear per month, and days since last worn. I could add in a dollars per wear easily enough, but I'd never bother looking at it! I really only look at days since last worn. Highlights cell when it's reached a threshold.
Also keeps a list of total rotation/shell/calf/suede/CXL/other/summer/winter/AE/Alden, avg purchase price, etc

Nailed the dimple today, collars are perfect, Plaza last, and it's a sunny Friday. Couldn't ask for more!

Spoiler: Black shell

Sweet mercy, man. That's way more than I effort than I could ever force myself to put out. Go you!

Happy Friday!

Heading into the weekend, busy day today. I should wrap up by 6 or 7 though, then heading to the mountains to enjoy the fall colors this weekend. Shell Patriots today.

Hiding in the office today, so I can leave the steel toes at home today.

Going with one of the most disrespected pairs that AE made in recent years—the OG Shannon Drive in olive with a butyl sole on the 201. I mostly wear boots these days, but these make the short list of shoes I break out. Shortly after these were made, AE started selling first quality pairs on eBay for $119, which is where I picked them up. Or, maybe it wasn't "shortly," but it felt like they pulled these from the lineup pretty quick only to have them reappear later with slightly different leather and much different Vibram soles. Anyway, I'm not quite sure why this shoe wasn't more popular back in the day, but everyone else's loss was my gain.

Looked at my spreadsheet today amongst all the other spreadsheet talk going on and realized I'd yet to wear these mofos in 2020. Usually, I break them out on St. Patrick's day and give them plenty of wear on casual Fridays and in the summer with no-show socks. Obviously, this year isn't like most years, so they've been sitting in the closet, begging for attention. I see you Shannon Drives, and I feel you, and I respect your right to be worn. Enjoy my feet for today, you've earned them.

All I do is just log a wore a pair that day...the spreadsheet does the rest automatically, even changing days since wear to "storage" for off season pairs.

I answer to no one! I'm not particularly proud of the total, but it's definitely there...
The net cost (deducting sale prices) is even more discouraging!

I don't track that. I don't want to know the $, I suspect it would leave me feeling not so good lol. My spreadsheet looks a fair bit different than yours but with the same end results telling me days since last wear, number of times worn, times worn in a given year or period of months, etc.

Looking forward to seeing all the purchases make it here on the thread soon! Had to pop in to see what people were doing for this show. My time has become quite limited of late so my SF time has taken a plunge.

Surrey Cap-Toes today:

Random thought ahead, maybe I'm crazy.

So they do shell trunk shows. They've done a suede show. How about a CXL show? Strands in brown or natty CXL? First avenue boots? They could do some pretty interesting stuff. CXL Cornwallis or Moras?

Anyone? No one?

First outing for my Sullivans. I wore them partially because temps are dropping but mainly to help me decide if/what I might order from the TS.
Initially Landon marbled was my pick but maybe that is sort of covered by these coffee sullivans.
My office "may" be getting more casual monday-thursday in the future so I have been cautious to acquire more dressier shoes.
Probably forgetting a few boots but I have liverpool in walnut and brown suede, tan HG, oxblood daltons, black nomads, tan hamiltons and a few casual non AE boots I am about to bring downstairs.
Considering landon or hamilton in chili with antique welt/edge (I have strands in chili with brown edge). Maybe a hamilton in marbled (not sure if I prefer brown or antique welt) or maybe park in DMC (I have a burgundy shell park).
I have green and blue really covered. Weaseling/comments welcomed.

Made my trunk show order today.... and hit my shoe quota, @AEfaninTampa —we are at risk of overflow
