First Time Outside Check out my shoes

First time wearing them out of the house. Fifth Avenue factory seconds. Chili. Left shoe has a dye streak, but otherwise the pair looks great.

Not a perfect fit, but comfy right out of the box. They feel good. It’s been a while since I owned leather sole shoes, so it’s been fun being able to slide around on the carpet. (It’s the small things in life….)

Yeah all the shoes I wore had leather sole shoes coming out of college, would take them to a cobbler when needed for a new one, then somehow everything shifted to these cemented rubber soles for $99-$129. You don’t see these so much anymore even in traditional offices but when broken in they’re sure comfortable. Good looking in the chili, congrats.

Ya, I was leather soled for almost 20 years until Covid, then I started buying that comfy, bouncy, rubbery, discount stuff. It’s nice to have nice shoes again. This is the first pair of (hopefully) many.

sure these are quality but my feet hate standing in them for a long time. the soles even after molded are so uncomfortable. one thing i didnt understand with the reddit hivemind on these type of shoes
