It seems too punk or bohemian for the kind of person who digs Allen Edmonds enough that they're willing to spend $700 to get a custom pair of shoes.

I'm always willing to learn though, anyone care to help me understand its aesthetic appeal?

This is why I buy black shell.

Well no RDA for me, cat needs a tooth extraction and it's over $1k :mad:

Looks like he is going to have to learn to be ok with having his teeth brushed from now on.
Had a dog that needed similar once, 1200 bucks and he wound up loosing a lot of teeth. He figured out how to eat however after he recovered...Lived another 8 yrs after the operation. I often wonder if the vet was BS's me.

Took some time today to take some pictures of my entire collection...phew! Pulling down and putting back so many pairs is not a task for the faint of heart.

Oh yeah, and no more Strands, ‘cause @BFT9000 doesn’t have any more storage space.
:hide:

Here's a quick pic of my "Strand Wall". You can imagine my reaction to @AEfaninTampa joking about my lack of storage space.

I can comfortably fit another box of six on the very top, but I don't think ill be able to reach (at 5'11") a row on top of that one. I'll have to annex another wall, and I'm certain Mrs. Strand King will not be pleased with that.

Ok so it will begin sometime around October 1st, I am guessing?
I should have provided more context - read the original post and you'll see that October 7th is the START date for the Rediscover America Sale. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong since my ad is now in the landfill prematurely.)

Well, I'm about to spend at least 4K on a move, so I could tell my wife "Is $700 really that important if you're about spend 4K"?

If any of you all know of great moving companies, please PM me.
I feel your pain.
