    I’m not ever going to buy a Chinese boot, shoe, when I can buy USA dress shoes!

    You have clown feet because your trousers are too tight and the leg opening too narrow which makes the shoe look ugly and cumbersome.

    man the Amberjack is almost compelling but those perforations make it look cheap, to me. Looks like the ubiquitous Vegas conference guy shoe (but when you’re on your feet all day at a conference, it’s a good move). However, the Renegade is more my style, and the Grant Stone is obviously beautiful. I have that same style from Alden, but I kinda like the look of the Grant better.

    1:45 why the hell would they put a crepe rubber on this shoe?
