Firsts or seconds. Feel free to elucidate your preference.

Personally, I feel Allen Edmunds offers more utilitarian value, though Vox has better styling and is far more entertaining. Vox it is.


Note: For those who cannot pick a favorite, I have enabled multiple choice.

YOu want shoes made out of Vox? Would they take a good shine?

I think that it is fair to say we could make use of all of Vox, if, say, we brought in Iammatt to help.

E barely gets it. Tough decision, though - I hate thinking this hard on a Sunday AM...

Allen Edmunds appears to be holding a sizable advantage over old vox at the moment. Frankly I am surprised at the love that AE appears to be receiving, though I wonder if some voters are voting "against" vox rather than "for" AE. Perhaps there is a parallel with the recent midterm elections here in the USA? In this case though it would more likely be due to envy of vox's own sartorial successes, rather than dissatisfaction with voters' personal circumstances. Look at it this way, who would you rather hire as your personal wardrobe consultant, voxsartoria or Allen Edmunds? I rest my case.

Understood kind sir, but this is not another thread about vox. Just want to make that clear.

My initial reaction was to definitely vote for the Allen Edmunds. Where else could a poor man like myself get shoes that make me seem sophisticated yet consumer savvy? Plus there seems to be an infinite glut of used AEs.

But in keeping with my same line of frugality and best bang for your buck thinking, I thought where else can a poor man like myself commingle, if only by virtual association, with a person of patrician standing? Where else could a man such as myself enjoy a vicarious conversation with perhaps our best modern day equivalent of a gadabout with an animus for acerbic wit--For FREE!
