Chihuahua, are you eating a whole bunch of oysters and watching a horny movie?

Nope. I am watching Marvel's runaways and just finished some grilled Kauai wild caught shrimp. Wore my Allen Edmonds out to the grill area, as they are soooooo comfortable!!

Finally retiring this shoe that lasted 9 years of daily wear. DAILY.

Land's End Suede Buck.
Bought on sale for $50 in 2012 or so.
Easily my most workhorse shoes I have ever owned.
The toe started to separate from the rubber sole a few months ago, and now its done.

Gladly, back in 2013, I bought a spare $50 pair that I've been saving.
Here is to another 8 years !

RIP my $50 Land's End Archer Classic Buck (2012-2023)

I wore them 4x a week for over a decade.
In 2021, when the soles separated, I crazy glued them back.
But they came apart again and I decided to retire them.

I ordered a spare backup pair back in 2013 for $70
Each year, I could not believe the original pair was still going strong.
I've been storing the backup pair for over a decade and now it's time to unbox them.
Had I ordered a 3rd pair, it would have taken me into retirement.

Here is to another 10 years on the $70 pair!
