Think like a dandy, and it all makes sense.

I guess it would be the same as having RED or money-GREEN socks

I have actually been thinking since I joined SF that a shoe like this would be nice:

That's probably the only explanation that would make any sense to me.

We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our lives had become unmanageable

Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity

Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves

Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs

Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character

Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all

Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others

Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs


Most important: Step 13

Once our addiction has been taken away, we donate all our shoes to the members of this forum

I feel that the speed lacers have the same effect as Manton's buttons in that they lend a cheaper air to the shoes. However, I do not suggest modiffication like I did to Manton as these are not shoes that can be worn in a work or social environment, so you should enjoy them at home however you like.

Well, at least with socks you don't have to wear the funny colored ones if you want to look like a regular human being. The pic you put up actually is pretty eyecatching and an interesting shoe. I don't like the last at all, but the combo works to my eye.

I think the first i saw was the one Panzer posted "Stuarts Choice".
Delos and Dimiri have done them to I think.

As for G&G that leaves you with a MTO in one of four lasts ...

Is the "darkside" beckoning?
