    Who owns shoes built on the 55 Last? How was the fit and sizing, compared to your Brannock size? Nick's recommends going a half size down. Frank's recommends going a full size down, and up in width. What do you gentlemen recommend?

    Lower Cost Shoes

    Not all of us can afford to spend a whole paycheck on shoes. Especially when living paycheck to paycheck. I like these. Not just as a lower price option. I wear these shoes because they are comfortable.

    Jim Green

    On my feet, they are fine. My feet don't hurt. No sore spots. We all have different feet. There really is no "overall". It's a stitchdown design. You are standing on a proprietary foot bed, the lasting board, a midsole, and whatever outsole. The boots are all wide, and will...

    Made In USA?

    It used to be that something Made In USA was certain to be a quality item. Other countries as well. You wanted things Made In England, Germany, Italy, et cetera. We also used to frown on Made anywhere in Asia...... Taiwan, China, Japan, etc. Does it still matter to anyone? Nike and...

    Christmas Music

    Okay. Let's have it. Post your Christmas Music. Good, Bad, and Ugly. Even if you think that Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey are the same person. They are really two different people. Even if all of my ex-girlfriends look like clones.

    Resole Shoes

    I went to a local cobbler to get a quote on resoling my Stacy Adams Madison boots. Heels were worn down. The soles are worn down. Now was a good time to fix them, before they got worse and needed more work. The quote was for "$$$". The shoe repair guy said that he would grind off and...

    Shoe Prep

    According to this guy on YouTube, there are things that you should do before you wear your shoes. Do you guys do that with new shoes? With "new to you" used shoes? What do you guys do? I'm in the same boat. I can only buy shoes on sale. And I still want an online coupon and free...

    The Experience

    It's nostalgic. Old theaters with less than comfortable seating and sticky floors. Old worn carpets, darkened by decades of spilled beverages and food. The kind of place where a younger version of me, would go in with the first bargain matinee show, and spend the whole day eating junk food...

    Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?

    I have these shoes that I don't really wear. Because of my lifestyle, they're not a good fit. I ride motorcycles, and sadly, these are not motorcycle boots. I think of them as my "mini van boots". They have been worn less than a dozen times, in about as many years. The last time that I rode...

    1960's Leather Jacket

    This was probably around 1969, when Feinstein was first elected to The San Francisco Board of Supervisors. A lot of things to notice in the photo. What I'm looking at is that three people are wearing leather jackets. And it looks like those jackets are almost, if not, identical. What do you...

    John Ownbey Jackets

    Has anyone seen these in real life? No local retail store has this brand in stock. So I can't actually pick it up, feel it, try it on. Any thoughts or opinions?

    Vintage Food

    What is "vintage"? Can food be vintage? How old does it have to be? If a product has been around for 50 years, or 100 years, considered vintage? I'm old. Old enough that young people point their fingers at me and laugh. I've been eating tri-tip since I was a kid. Probably because my Dad...

    Goatskin For Motorcycle Jacket

    I didn't want to be the guy who resurrects an old thread. Some people in online forums frown upon that. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/is-goatskin-inappropriate-for-a-motorcycle-jacket.63461/ I have several goatskin jackets. A-2, G-1, and others. I've worn them while riding a...
