    I'm not a fan of suede, nubuck, and roughout. Not that I don't like the soft nap and texture. I do. 1 too many experiences with blood, BBQ sauce, motor oil, and other things that cannot be cleaned out. But for the price, One Forty Nine USD, I bought it anyway. This fudge color nubuck is...

    What's cooking?

    My version of flatbread. Or maybe it's a tortilla. It's still pretty good. It's still a taco wrapper. Or whatever they call it in Asia when you eat it with meat, vegetables, and rice.

    In my continual effort to make the African Ranger work for me, I replaced the insert. Just fractions of an inch difference. It changed the fit. Now the hard, stiff part is not rubbing the ankle. But with a different insert, the feel is also different. Maybe this will break in the leather in...

    Or they could be clown shoes with the big, wide toes

    Heavy, stiff , and a bear to break in. Numzaan by Jim Green. Half the price of better known boots.

    Use them. Abuse them. It's raining today. Perfect. I have African Ranger. I can trash them in the rain, and save my nicer shoes for a sunny day. And we can all see what they look like in the rain. Not so good looking. My feet are still dry

    They are not for everybody. The aesthetics is the polar opposite of sleek and stylish. The fit is limited to people with wide feet. If you have a narrow foot, it won't fit. If you have extra wide feet, they still won't fit. The quality of the leather is unknown. The leather is...

    A small win for me. I figured out what was causing my foot pain. I was following Jim Green's recommendation on how to fold the tongue. This caused the tongue to double up, under all the layers of leather of the lacing system. It all pressed right into my ankle. I got an abrasion. My...

    I wanted to like these. On paper, it's a good shoe. On my feet, they are not as good. STC last on my Razorback feel fine. Padded collar on my Razorback feel fine. On this model, I am not as comfortable. The bleeding wasn't what I wanted. I can't change feet. Lesson learned.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    I find myself favoring this pair. I reach for it. I wear it more than my other shoes. I can't explain it. This shoe feels good to my feet. Maybe it's the weird "olive tan" leather. Or the cheap synthetic insole.

    Hermès for the lady in your life

    The worst part of the game is that you actually have to buy from Hermes. Just like Amazon, you need an account. They have a customer profile, with records of sales. And the sales associates have to know you. That's why people try to cultivate relationships with them. I have seen randomly...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I like your style. Where Dr. Martens gets me, is on pricing. When they offer a substantial discount, I buy. I only buy on sale. It's a personal prejudice. I just don't think that Dr. Martens are good boots, and they are not worth the retail asking price. However, I do like the AirWair...

    Sausage, shrimp, fake crab meat, tomato, avocado, cucumber........ What this really is, is taco toppings.

    Hermès for the lady in your life

    The social experiment is what Hermes wants from the consumer. You can't even go to the shop without an appointment. Then you have to spend a certain amount of money, to prove that you deserve to buy their purse. If they decide that you are the right buyer, then you will get an offer to buy...

    What's cooking?

    With US egg prices, that would be a king's ransom. I hope eggs cost less in Europe. I'm still captivated by the Japanese version of Steak Fried Rice. However, the 6 egg fried rice has been downsized to a 2 egg fried rice. US egg prices are just too high. I...

    Quality of Saint Laurent Wyatt Harness boots?

    "overpriced"? Opinions vary. How do you determine the pricing fairly? How much is too much? Pricing is not determined by just one factor. Pricing is not determined by the cost of raw materials. As in you are not paying them for the amount of leather, thread, glue, and nails. Part of what...

    This shoe cobbler just posted a video on YouTube. He fixed a purse. Interesting watch.
