Thread: Shoes

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, hi-tops, been my basic shoe since I was 9. Otherwise I've got three pairs of Docs 8, 10, and 14-hole, one pair of Gripfast (another english boot) and Sanuk sandals (they're lined with yoga-mat material, I can walk for miles and miles and miles in them) for the So Cal summer.

My back thanks me...

I feel ya Phil. I had to chuck out me favourite pair of thongs the other day (the Aussie style of thongs that go on yer feet, and not up yer bum crack)...15 years I had them, and man were they comfortable, Moulded to my feet. But just the other day, they up and give in on me. My wife told me it would be silly to hold a funeral for them, and we couldn't really afford the full sized coffin for what amounted to a shabby pair of footwear. She just didn't seem to understand. Faithful service like that should be rewarded with more than being tossed in the wheely bin .

Maybe a backyard funeral pyre would be more fitting. Respectful, traditional and kind to the wallet.

I had to throw away a pair of jeans too... 5 years of service... The only problem with them was you could hold them up to the light and see through them...

Well, so long as you got the legs for them, that wouldn't be much of an issue mate . Unless you're your wife seeing the other ladies looking...But I wonder if the ladies would look, or pretend not to be...Such a quandary, and entirely off topic. I'll leave it at that before I need to employ a second digger in this here cemetary.

What?! And be slapped with a hefty Carbon Tax. No! It was off to the great dump heap down the road for them.

I was wearing them before it was cool again (also cause I wanted to copy my big sister)

Just like my Air Force 1's man! I've had a pair of those for as long as I can remember!

My dad to day casual shoes are a pair of Ariat Ropers. For dress (work) I wear Johnston & Murphy Suffolk plain toe boots, JM Alderson Runnoffs or Allen Edmond Park Avenues with my suits. If I'm working in the yard or something more labor intensive I usually wear my old issue steel toe boots.
