ernest, what do you think of the shoes at Pape?
I have never tried or had in my hand but they looks to be good through the shop window.

I like the style of this shop.

Were they in size 8.5 US? Oh man, she should not have bought me those shoes. You're talking about the lizard skin ones right?

Those are hideous.  Truly hideous.  Would someone actually wear those with a suit?  They're bizarre.  I should get some new job interviews and show up in those.  People would think I was starving and take pity.  "Look at the guy's shoes, he probably hasn't eaten in days."
Hideous yes, but also quite showy, designed for someone who is not afraid to stand apart from the crowd (in a similar vein to having a scarlet "A" affixed to one's shirt). Assuredly, this will send a message that, however unusual they may appear, the shoes were not inexpensive.

I agree, the monks are quite nice, among a few others.

I found them not to bad. Once shoes are original .

I hesitate to ask about your new suits. Also, ernest, I recall you writing that alligator shoes are only for pimps? Are non alligator lizard loafers different, more subdued and classic, in your opinion?

Holy Cow.. Talk about some beautiful shoes. Don't you guys call that "shoe Appreciation" on this forum? Ernest, if she actually bought me those shoes, than I would be quite happy with them and would wear them. I was only nervous that if they didn't fit properly, I'd be stuck with them no matter what. 8.5 US is my size, so if that's what she got, than that is good. Did she really buy these shoes? Excellent.

Ernest: you are not using the correct part of imageshack. Don't use the thumbnails. You need to use the top line of the second half of imageshack. Just delete the img and your home and hosed. Brilliant shoes.

What is the problem with this one? You do'nt like small pictures you can open? When i was using the other way to post, some people told me it was too big anyway.

What is disgusting is to see these shoes and know that no matter how upscale the store in the Midwest, there is nothing like these available. We do not even know the language used to create such objects. FU_k.

Your pictures are too small Ernest. With imageshack you can adjust to an appropiate picture size - they don't have to be too big, they can be medium sized. Try it.
