You're a stock broker, truly? Yes, I imagine that IS a nasty floor at times then!
Haha, nah. I work for a municipality operating the waste water plant. Those boots won't look so nice for very long.
Well! My brother is retired from the county and was with waste water. And he's married to a former investment banker! Traveling the world. I tell him that he fell into you know what and came out smelling like a rose.
That's funny. I almost said I was an investment banker. "waste water" does sound terrible. But the reality is the process is only nasty at 2 steps, out of 7. And even then you're not walking around in it. The city actually just changed the name of the department to get away from the negative image. "Water Resource Recovery Facility".
These boots have been worn for 4 months and still look new. I put a coat of Obenauf's on them yesterday. The new ones I just got (above) won't even be worn at the plant until these wear out. Which may be years. Until then they will be kept in the box, or just worn as casual boots. I'll probably have another new pair by then. We get new boots every year.
Ha! I got some really nice leather work gloves from my brother one year at Christmas..... I wonder....lol!
Where I come from, we'd call boots like those ... *ahem* ... "$h!t-kickers". Looks like you take that to a whole new level of "literally".
Yahtzee! "biosolid kickers" just doesn't have the same ring.
Great pattern
Wooooo, got some Alden Cordovan Cap Toes for 34% off. I'm quite giddy.

Man.... I get so jealous whenever I see these blowout prices you all get on AE's down in the U.S. Those would run me $500 CAD plus! Great score!
Very nice boots. I was thinking of getting a pair but I am worried the high cut would be too warm in summer months.
My next stop today was AE's closeouts haha.
Did you get anything?
No a couple of the things I liked they didn't have my size.
I had bought two suits from Saks Off Fifth. Both were Saks brand with Ermenegildo Zegna fabric. They have been sitting in my closet unaltered because I'm trying to lose some weight and out of work. After losing about 12 pounds I decided to finally just bite the bullet and get them tailored today. Charcoal gray solid and navy fine pinstripe. Perfect for my 30+ year career working for banks. Now to find that next, and hopefully last, job.
