Is there a lot more wear in the center of the soles than shows in pics, or for a sole change?

The left shoe is starting to get squishy in the center.

That is often what wears out first because it is the foot most people swivel on when getting in and out of the car [in countries where we have left hand drive cars].

Last night, I did something I haven't done in probably 15 months or so - went out to a bar with friends I've known for 30+ years. We used to have a monthly get-together at the same greasy, nasty bar we used to drink in during our "almost-legal" phases of life. Only 5 of the 10 of us made it, but we we're all fully vaxxed and the bar was maybe at 10% capacity, so no one besides the waitress came within 20 feet of us. It was just a weird, but fun, experience.

Anyway, since I was going to be around friends that I'm totally comfortable with, I figured I should wear my most comfortable pair of AEs. Like me, they're more wrinkled and dinged up than they were just a few short years ago, but they have a ton of character, which makes them much more interesting.

The AE shoe lust continues......I got F2 (factory 2nds), today! I had to shamelessly manhandle Mr. Copper-Strand-Weave with Bicky 4 (skin moisturizer). LoL.

What was the defect? Well.....from my inspection, the defect was during the outsole stitching at the toe box area. See the picture of the bottom of the shoe. From the top of the shoe, you will notice the stitching at the welt was very close to the outer edge of the welt. I actually welcome defects on the outsole area because when I send them to a cobbler, I give the cobbler directions for new welt and new JR outsoles.

For Canadians lurking here, buy at shoebank.com. The reason is duty and taxes is cheaper coming from FedEX verses the Borderfree's duty and taxes. Borderfree,$90 CAD. FedEx from Shoe Bank about $35 CAD for one pair of shoes. It's your money. Feel free to shop at Allen Edmonds main website, if you want to pay the higher fees from Borderfree.

Now..........to the skin pics........... for today.

Cross post from Alden thread.

A newly retired resident of PA,
explained to his wife the value of Scotch grain.
She said "you have closets of shell,
suede, calf and Alpine as well,
and this obsession with shoes is making me insane.

Happy Friday

You should give her a hug for noticing your shoe collection. By the way, love the Scotch grain.

I haven't been to Dirty Nellie's in probably 20 years, since one of my buddies who was in this group played in a metal band there a bunch of times. think it's pretty similar to Dirty Nellie's which now, sadly, is just called "Nellies" - how lame is that b.s.? This place used to be called "Rocky Vanders" back in the day, but is now "Rocky's American Grill." Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Wearing (made in 1984) Oakmont saddle shoes again today.

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures, in Holmby Park earlier today.

Before the pandemic there were giant cannas growing behind this bench that blocked the view of trash cans.

Prior to 2013 there was a British blog called "Look At My ******* Red Trousers" which classified all red trouser wearers as toffs, hipsters, lunatics, notable wearers, or in McDonald's

If the blog still existed and this picture ended up in the blog, hope I would be classified in with the toffs.

Look at my fucking red trousers!

Once again my belt did not match my shoes. Wore a Vineyard Vines mermaid belt today.

Is that Nantucket red?
You obviously know how to pair it with an entire outfit which is a skill that most people do not have.
Chapeau

Just leave it and call it "patina."

Broke out the Cronmoks for today. No special reason. I just like the way they look.
