At first I wanted to get the Provo in brown but Zappos only had it in black but that said it looks even better in person and is pretty comfortable despite not having the 2pod system. Happy to have it in my rotation!

How have these shoes turned out for you? I was thinking of picking them up as an everyday work shoe.

Posing a question to a banned member may prove a frustrating experience.

He stuffed these with newspapers from Starbucks to keep them in shape, I assume.

anyway, those look good in the pic, but everyone I know who has bostonians say they hurt, and creases end up monstrously bad, even with shoe trees.

My only experience with Bostonian ended up being an $85 mistake.

Kasper's stuffing them with free newspapers scrounged from Starbucks is a fitting treatment.

Hiya, Kasper. How's your liver?

How do you get banned? Why are they still allowed to post?

you get banned by being obnoxious (or more obnoxious than is deemed tolerable around here). Kasper can't log on anymore and can't still post, note the date on the first post in this thread.

I am being honest when I say that I really don't know why I was banned. I know I expressed some strong opinions on conservative business dress but I didn't feel as if I was being obnoxious about them and on a couple occasions I tried my best to change my behavior on the forum when it was brought to my attention that my comments were inappropriate. I really just wanted to post about my passion for business dress which does include Bostonians; a fact which may have contributed to a certain prejudice I have experienced here.
