Had to visit the eye doctor today so he could tell me what color these shoes were. I must have lost my sense of color when I bought these.

That is ok, when I first looked at the picture I couldn’t see a sole. Thought it was a new Indigenous style of Strand for a minute.

I thought the same thing. White soled shoes should only be worn when walking on dark surfaces. Shame on anyone not considering this. Careless I tell you.

I try to get 3-4 wears during the season.

Pants need an ironing I know but I overslept.

Patriotically festive.

Well, this is my third store to close in about as many years... Charleston, the outlet in NC, and now Nashville. Running out of options in the Southeast. Haggaikiah, Mylan, and Harold were all great to work with. I hope they all land somewhere well in 2025.

what's a nicer or more upscale version of the AE Randolphs? I'm thinking Alden or C&J but C&J seems to like Calvary calf or shell on their American loafers and Alden is pretty much all about shell. I just want a nicer calf loafer that isn't too European. Do they exist?

If you want American Alden is still a good option - while their shell is superb, they have very strong calf and suede offerings as well
