And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sharp, but you know they'd scuff up within minutes.
art, real art, in leather - and well worth the money when you slip them off and (properly ) put them away for the night, your feet will feel like they've been walking on clouds
Yeah, my dad wore these (different brand) in black and brown all his life. I thought how can dad wear these clunky shoes... until I tried on my first pair.
Like boron says, put them away properly, which, to dad and me, meant using adjustable shoe trees. Also, don't wear them day after day; let them "rest" a day or two between wearings.
These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Pricey, but thirty years later, I've still got my three pairs. Buy once, cry once. Miss you, Dad.
Bought a pair of Allen Edmond Oxfords recently and have to say they are comfortable and nice. Wearing nice shit kickers most of my life they are a departure from the past. Nothing to do with gay pride. It’s about being a mature, masculine Indo-European man in a position of responsibility. Try it sometime.
Scuff? Perish the thought. Wearing these, you wouldn't be likely to find the occasion. It's not like you shoe horses or roll steel with these on your feet.
The troglodytes that don't understand the difference between sartorial splendor and top quality footwear, versus the mass-market crap they're wearing now, probably think anything not made by Nike is gay too.
Time was, even working class gentlemen would wear these, even if only on Sundays.
Now they're sitting barefoot at home, watching football. As if salivating over a bunch of sweaty black men all day isn't gayer than wearing a pink tutu to a Pride parade.
a Hiro how you doing?

Can't imagine a situation where I would wear such a thing.
ReplyDeleteGay pride rally maybe??
DeleteEvery girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man...
ReplyDeleteOxfords not brogues
ReplyDeleteThose are some fine looking kicks. Shame society rarely has occasion to wear such any more. From suit and tie to work, to sweat pants remotely.
ReplyDeleteA gentleman would never scuff such beauties. Well, that leaves me out...
