    Penny Loafer question

    Thanks for this, Walter. Now, Clarks I wasn't able to find any penny loafers in their current collection. And the vintage ones don't have leather soles, which is a must for me. The Cole Haan look good. Will check those out. Appreciate your feedback.

    Penny Loafer question

    I have a high instep/arch. Not crazy high. I can wear Derbies/Bluchers with no problem. But on Oxfords, there is always a big triangle from bottom to top, because they don't close in a flush way. Now, I really like penny loafers. But the few I have tried press down on the top of my foot like a...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    I must say that I agree with the many people who have objected to you on this forum. You are the reason Internet forums are unintelligent, unproductive, unfriendly. Maybe it's true that money can't buy you style. But for you, that's irrelevant. it's not style you should be aiming for. It's...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    Dear @dieworkwear – so, I read the guide. Thank you. I appreciate the time you took to save it and to share it with us. And it has a lot of very interesting points. (I will admit I find your writing style much clearer than Voxsartoria's. His style is so idiosyncratic that sometimes it's hard to...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    I've actually been embarrassed into buying a pair myself! ;)

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    We'll see from his reaction if he would want to help and formulate a set of moral commandments and statement of purpose. I think it might be good inspiration for everybody joining this forum. There is no reason for there to be any hostility whatsoever on a forum like this. I think your green...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    @dieworkwear you are kind of the doyen of this forum. What do you think should be the goal of the forum – what do you feel should be the etiquette. Let's try and formulate a kind of rule book. For instance, a few things I gleaned from your previous posts might be: 1) You cannot use the...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    Thank you for this explanation, John D. Do you feel any capable tailor can adapt to any kind of silhouette I might want? For instance: can anybody make your shoulders straight and broad? Would't I need someone to warn me in case that desire would lead to a style aberration? I like a tapered...

    Chelsea boots – a little embarrassing?!

    You should leave dieworkwear in peace. He is usually a great force for good and gentlemanly behavior on this forum and is just going through an angry phase, which is understandable given how much aggression so many people here throw at him and everyone every day. It would be a great loss if he...

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    To incentivize people to make size 14, of course!!!

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    So, in Dutch and many other languages, it means "prole", as in a pejorative form of "proletarian"

    You are truly living up to your name.

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    I'd say you're the stubborn one, my friend. Of course, you are free to assume whatever you feel I'm implying. But even in what you quote of me, I'm clearly *saying* "By this study, the would do better", a study which I clearly say that it is of Australians age 60+, and where my graph clearly...

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    Here's another probable Nobelcostas quote: "And I'm also really glad I didn't have that wheelchair ramp installed in my store, like those annoying inclusivity people wanted me to. The vast majority of my customers were perfectly capable of walking up those stairs." What this study might help to...

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    The study, done by respected scientists at respected institutions, shows what it shows. It's doesn't claim to be a cross section of the entire population. The size or the sample is in the graph for all to see. To dispute what it shows is laughable. In addition to not understanding this, you have...

    Shoemakers, take note: US14 more common than either 13 or 10!

    Most people with a size 14 will not even try to buy in stores anymore, so you would not encounter them. (and Denmark is a pretty happy country, indeed!)
