Those shoes do look comfortable. I can’t imagine spending $100 on a pair of shoes, although I guess if I did, they would last longer! :)

My husband would love those sandles. His do not have a backstrap and therefore stay on just as well as bedroom slippers. He hate that.

Has a shoe joke being told to you, lately, Jim?
“Oh God,” he said. “I asked my wife, ‘Do I have a foot fetish?’She said no.”
:-o))))

When did men’s shoes get ugly? This is really what I’d like to know. Probably about the same time womens shoes got super ugly (I know I’m not much of a girl but the maxi-point wicked witch of the west look really doesn’t get it for me).

I find it ironic, though, that this odd sizing phenomenon has manifested itself in men’s shoes first. The thing is that for a few years now manufacturers have been “down-sizing” womens clothes: what was a large is now marked “medium” so that the size 6 you (theoretically) wore when you were 18 is now really a size 10 but you can still say you wear a size six.

Maybe the creeping up in shoe size has to do with the supposed relationship between the size of a man’s extremities and his…you know.

I’ve also been having a bugger of a time removing the stickers. They’re welded to the shoes and seemingly designed to fall apart.

You are too damned funny…three pairs will last you 2 years? I have a few pairs that have lasted me multiple years but that is because I wear them maybe once every two months. Then again, I have more than three pairs…Lord do I ever.
Nordstrom Rack is the devil when it comes to sizing and the employees ability to find the shoes mate in the ‘back.’
