    Resole Shoes

    Some shoes are constructed to be disposable. It has nothing to do with price. Even expensive shoes are made with glue. It's hard for the average person to know what they are buying. Even more disappointing is the cost of shoe repair, costing more than a new pair of shoes. Some may want...

    POTUS shoe

    Johnston & Murphy has made shoes for several presidents. Maybe in the case of Lincoln, Lincoln actually wore the shoes. Roosevelt probably wore those shoes as well. I'm just looking at the timeline. 1860's & 1900's. There just weren't that many companies back then. Without a doubt...

    POTUS shoe

    For me, it was not so long ago. As a teen, we shop for fashion. Meaning that kids are influenced. Back then, it was what other kids wore, what you saw at the stores downtown, what you saw in magazine photos, and what you saw on MTV. Today's kids have internet access, and there are social...

    Engineer boots: hard vs soft toe?

    By hard, are you referring to composite toe and steel toe?

    POTUS shoe

    Apparently, I wasn't looking hard enough. The Dalai Lama and The Pope wear Dr. Martens. Who knew? Maybe we'll see a US President wear them. Or even a Royal.

    POTUS shoe

    Dr. Martens are still being worn. From what I see. Mostly by teens and 20 somethings. The crowd that is influenced by marketing, social media, and product placement. The crowd that doesn't care about things like brands of tanneries, grade of leather hides, or traditional shoemaking...

    POTUS shoe

    I thought that Royals had valets and butlers who took care of things like holes in shoes. I believe that US Presidents wearing cowboy boots is a thing of the past. Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Biden didn't wear them. I think that a lot of companies like to gift their products to the...

    POTUS shoe

    According to Pew Research, 21.5% of the global population enjoys a living standard of upper-middle and high income. Opinions vary. We all live different lifestyles. Maybe there are people who spend $600 on shoes for themselves, and only $100 to feed their children. If 3 out of 4 people are...

    POTUS shoe

    I have worn cowboy boots with black tie and white tie. To me, it's a polished black shoe. I have "formal shoes" or "evening shoes". I just don't like them. Why? Because they are shoes. I prefer boots. Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, And I ruined your black tie affair...

    POTUS shoe

    It's all just an opinion. That happens online. People Express their opinions. There's another guy who trashed Alden Indy Boots, Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, and Nick's Boots - to then turn around and promote "Rock Rooster", and several other poor quality brands, who sponsored his videos and...

    Stacy Adams shoes

    All three are known to be low quality. I don't have any Bostonian. Stacy Adams and Florsheim are owned by Weyco. I own both. Florsheim Imperial, Whitmore, and Foundry are Goodyear welted. The Foundry, if you can still find them, used Horween Chromexcel. Stacy Adams Concorde...
