So my neighbor, who knows I like shoes, came by this morning to show me his new "expensive" shoes. He bought a pair of Samuel Hubbard(?) at a local footwear store. He says they are the most comfortable, best shoes he owns. They looked like tennis shoes made from leather to me. He didn't tell me what he paid, and I didn't ask, but I did show him the GS Ottawa's I was wearing and he said he needed "work boots" so would check out the website. Something tells me he will not be happy with the retail price, and will come over tomorrow and tell me I'm insane, maybe I should have shown him Color 8 Aldens :)

I like Chihuahua's. They always seem to have a personality MUCH larger than their physical size. Not a Golden Retriever, but eat and poop a lot less.

I love him and he does have a big dog personality for sure. He is a rescue and we both are thankful since the day I brought him home.

Wasn’t long ago I thought $75 was a ton of money for a pair of shoes.

I think they’re $200-$250 range. There’s a shop in Chicago that carries Alden and SH. They’re getting rid of Alden and tried to sell me on SH. I didn’t bite

Getting rid of Alden???? WTF is up with that? I guess they could have been $200 shoes, but they honestly looked like athletic shoes made with black leather to me. Plus the toe box was sort of Birkenstock looking, just basically an ugly shoe to my eye. However, if he found them comfortable and affordable, who am I to say he shouldn't wear them.

As I have become accustomed to seeing - you and a couple of others, have just the best collection of footwear on SF. I really enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work.

Thank you my friend.

You guys are both eligible to have the best footwear collection of SF! Have a great end of your weekend gentlemen. Thanks for all your support.

Thanks Josh!
And the fitting end to the weekend, yard work done, relaxing in a great pair of shoes with wine and cigar while dog barks at some imaginary intruder into the yard.

So tempted to buy another pair of dune Ottawas on rubber soles simply to see if I can hit the CXL lottery like you!
DO IT! If you open the box and don't like them, you can send them back without trying them on. Or call Josh/Wyatt and tell them what color of CXL you want and maybe they can "cherry pick" for you.

That's some lifestyle photography :)

Those have a nice glow to them - did you shine them up with something?

I saw your reddit post about the shifter mark - I guess there's not something to put on the shifter?
