Don’t wanna get boring, but I did 19000 steps today in Florence and I was surprised how comfy the Yeossal was. This last is perfect for my foot.

also no problem with the quality of the sole

that's nice to know! now just to find out why mine behaved this way! anyway. had another conversation with yeossal and when I can scratch up enough "spare change" I'll give shoes one more try! pity my "need" shopping list is full right now or I'd jump on current gmto. dark brown suede cap toe is only shoe that I need.

I went to the Stefano Bemer shop today. A guy walked in with elephant Chukkas in terrible condition and didn’t even care. I struggled not to buy anything, then again I will be making shoes with them soon ??

shoes are a pitfall we love

well not entirely a pitfall... I have less than 15, split almost equally between shoes, loafers and boots, and I have hard time justifying adding more, before finishing my "I need" shopping list... the only 2 shoes I plan to add is dark brown suede cap toe and cordovan 8 something... for example I would like dark brown suede tassel, but I have snuff tassel and dark brown calf.. 3 tassel loafers would be redundant.

I had 57. I trimmed down to 24. Need to let go 6 more. I changed to higher end slowly.

hi don't be judgy!

p.s. though in all honest I don't know if I have 5 adelaides...

hey... we're grownups.. there is a difference between need and want! I want a bunch of stuff and slowly work my way trough. but "need" is more important than "want". but it's just semantics!

For 60000 steps I think it’s ok!

that more than certainly is! well I got good news at work so if all works out as planned, I'll do my best to jump on this gmto. 900-something is not as bad as almost 1100 something I got when playing around before. can you remind me which suede was that? Janus dark brown?
That’s the one yes!
