Thanks! Yes, she is local. (We're actually 10 days apart and she was a friend of my high school GF). She spent years your former neck of the woods, but life brought her back here. We are NOT going to Lubbock for the honeymoon. :p

Skipping Lubbock is probably for the best. Nothing in Lubbock except Tech and tornados. What brings people back to Amarillo? Life and Interstate 40.

Gotta do no-shows...
Most of my no shows fall down but I wasn't adverse to socks it's just that these loafers just barely fit without. I tried socks first but the shoes felt a bit tight so I figured I'd try without, being all modern CW. Hoping they break in so I can wear socks with them. Or maybe I just need to toughen up those heels...Get some Man Calluses to handle them. :-D

I don't wear loafers enough for that so it probably won't happen.

I knew I was taking a bit of a chance on the Acheson but at $70 I figured I wasn't risking much.

Nothing in Lubbock? Whoa.
Did you forget Prairie Dog Town?

That was quite the slogan: "Welcome to Lubbock. We have rodents." (No animals were harmed in this playful poking at Lubbock)

Beautiful shoes! I’m not a fan of no shows, but I am a fan of no socks even less. Lbvs! Probably why I have steered clear of loafers.

Well how my heels feel now these most likely will hit ebay. Looks like boots for the rest of the week.

I can't wear my Sea Islands without socks for the same reason but my Maritimes and Ely's are super comfortable in bare feet. I wear my Ely's daily during the summer

Happy Wingtip Wednesday,

I'll be ending work early today to take my wife to dinner up at Sundance. It should be cool and beautiful up there. During full moon they run the chairlift until midnight for scenic rides, maybe I can talk her into that if they are still running.

Dark Chili Daltons today

I started wearing my suede Leeds (I called them the covid Leeds) last year to run errands. I would often wear them with no socks and shorts. I stopped doing this because I noticed the insole was getting dirtier than my shoes normally do with socks.

@BFT9000, any interest? No weaseling intended.

Anyone have the Park City boot? Wondering how they fit. Compared to say a Higgins Mill or Normandy/Caen
