Re: The Seven Shoe Wardrobe
OK, I'll play again.
7-shoe wardrobe now made possible by pandemic and a bad shoulder problem (no rock climbing for me!)
1. SPDs (dromarti)
2. Winter SPDs (Lake)
3. Running/trail shoe (currently Altra)
4. Work Boot (Red Wing)
5. Office Shoes (Alden)
6. Slip-on Sandals (Birkenstock)
7. shearling slippers. (LLbean?)
In current Rotation, approximate order of use
Slip-on sandals
SPDs
Office Shoe
Trail shoe
The winter SPDs and shearling slippers only see winter use (I fry in either when the outside air temp is above freezing); the work boots are at my (effectively closed) office.
My SPDs have laces, my well-used wingtips have Vibram soles, and my sandals have a back strap. All the result of earlier painful lessons learned.
Also, somehow I have gone from all-brown/cordovan to a majority-black shoe collection. I had to get a matching belt that nobody sees just to keep my own sensibilitiies in balance.
Cheers,
Will
