Maybe he meant it height-wise?

Mafoo, no seven shoes are going to last you 50 years. Sorry.

Make it 7. So in a year when that "Oh ****, what was I thinking" hits you the lesson learned will be hammered home more because of the $ you wasted.

Unlikely. Trolls are tall.

Really? Do I actually need 15? I assumed RJ was screwing with me.

Love Aldens, just can't stand the idea of multiple pairs of the same shoe.

Your time horizon here is only piece of evidence of how mentally imbalanced this whole project is.

Just an aside, but why does it take 9 months for MTO?

Back to the OP - 0 pairs Alden; 1 pair J.M. Weston #598.

Yes. Height is a relative concept

I'm hurt. You will need at least 15. Come on, you could buy them with the change under the cushions of your Knoll sofa.

Or just open an account with Alden to buy them for less.

What happens when you need to resole? Under your plan, all 5 (or 7) pairs are receiving the exact same wear. Therefore, it would seem likely that they would all need resoling at the same time. This will take a few weeks with Alden. Have you thought about how you are going to deal with this? Will they all be sent off together? Will they be sent off separately at risk of ruining your equal wear? Will you simply take a several week vacation on the beach where you don't need shoes while they are in the factory?
