Breaking in new Ultraboosts today. Slowly working up from Crocs. Maybe Red Wings or AEs tomorrow. Maybe dress shoes by May.
Let's hear it for bowtie lacing! Always adds an extra bit of interest.
Hadn't even noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out..... I need to up my game, as well as my observational skillz!Let's hear it for bowtie lacing! Always adds an extra bit of interest.
Ever been resoled? The uppers are VERY nice my friend!Old faithful. These cap toes/oxfords have been with me for 10-11 years now. They’ve been to Europe, America, China and around Australia and NZ countless times.
All I do is condition them with Saphir Renovateur.

So now another nosey question: what brand are they? I have had two falls that I remember, caused by leather soles: once on ice I didn't know was on the last step, once just WALKING on a WET sidewalk.I tend to add a rubber cap to the sole of my shoes. I realise that’s not for everyone but having slipped a couple of times from leather soles I’m not so keen on keeping them uncovered! I also spend a lot of time in industrial environments so if not safety shoes I at least need a shoe that I know will grip.
The rubber cap is about ready for a replace heels have been done twice I think.

I was young, so I didn't get hurt badly. But after that, I became less of a snob about leather. I actually started looking into, and buying mostly combo soles with a leather outside around a rubber middle part, if that makes any sense.
Those really ARE sharp looking shoes! A weakness I inherited from my Dad I believe... He NEVER left the house without a quick (at the VERY least) shine of his shoes!
Definitely white laces.
Take some Benadryl to help with the swelling of your calves.
(I have the same condition. ).
Swelling? It's muscle.
I have “monster” calves as well.
