SM MTM ? not a bad idea.



I'd have to make it a family trip with the "odd coincidence" that said shoemaker was there haha.

another issue with this proposition is my wife still think most of my shoe cost at most $500...

told her my great story on eBay during the great recession... when purchase price were inquired a long time ago...

I was thinking I could disclose a price similar to that, more like $600 though. Being in Canada could work in my favor because I would say $600 Canadian, which I think works out to about $450.

We pretty much have a mutual “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in place around shoes, apparel etc. It’s just the amount and lack of storage that’s becoming problematic for me...

We used to have a similar policy until the, then undisclosed, prices of the shoes were innocently revealed by the proud shopkeeper at EG. Mind you, I did not purchase anything at the time, but the idea remained.
Thus began the trial and tribulations of the International Spy game.

At least your shoes stay in good shape. Most women’s shoes are garbage. Heels break all the time etc.

Well the adoption of improved footwear or the mere thought of it, would only encourage my misses to purchase only Bespoke footwear herself.

If that happens, my country club days will be over, and a return to the financial sector will be in order. Ferris Bueller's years off would be done ?.

ive seen no relationship between the price of women’s shoes and durability. Here heels are broken at regular intervals regardless of price.I can’t imagine going bespoke helps anything aside fit and comfort..

I would think fit and comfort would be enough to justify the expense. Heck, that's my justification more often than not ?.

Some new business photos for your business meeting. Never mind the high chelsea, you can always make a low chelsea or lazyman which doesn’t catch on the back of your trousers when you sit down:
