Question regarding F2/ShoeBank returns: is it a hard & fast rule that they charge the $25 return/restock fee, or is it possible to call into CS and ask nicely for a courtesy return?

Long work day yesterday, so I needed a good pick-me-up for today. Burgundy trunk show HMs are always good for that trick. Ironic, given it's the color so many people sleep on during trunk shows.

I also had a long work day yesterday. Not @donkeyhoatie work mind you, but a long day to me nonetheless. I've been working with India quite a bit more recently, the time zone difference and resulting early morning and late night calls really stretch out the days. Natty Landons for a softer day today.

My store SA’s never charge me on the few times that I had a return. But AE CS? They just read off the script and everyone is suspect until proven otherwise.

To be fair, my "long" work night was really just two focus group monitoring sessions from 4:00 - 9:00, the bulk of which I entertained myself by thinking about ninjas, tacos, and Caddyshack quotes all while behaving like my standard jackass-y self on our internal chat board. Oh, and I recognized a terrible, offensive participant from a previous session we had and reamed the recruiting group for letting her back in again after 2 months. I was probably a little blunter than I should have been, but having been at stuff since about 7:30 in the morning, I had less than zero "foxes" to give.

Natty Landons are looking good! Wish that boot fit me better, since it seems to be a darling of AE at the moment.

Thanks.

I will try to post more often, but that means I have to put the shoes on.

Non-AE today, but I have to admit they are one of my favorites. I sure can tell the difference in support from having a steel shank.

Spoiler: Ottawa

 

[ProfilaBinding]

Wore my Leeds 2.0 shoes to Trader Joes and Mitsuwa.

Landon's are nice boots...OH, "We have a pool and a pond, pond would be good for you"

I just switched the laces that came with my Brown Caens. I like them better.

I wore my Chippewa work boots the last two days for the most important and defining days of my life (years of hard work).
Tonight, the Allen Edmonds Dalton to celebrate...
