Sold out in my area but still available online. Do I go for another one? Replacement could arrive even worse. Tough call. Blu-ray is also scratched!

I’d order a new one and return the one you don’t want in store.

Yeah not a bad idea. Just worried the next one will show up banged up as well.

Edit: now unavailable to ship. You gotta be quick. Oh well. At least it was cheap.

I've resisted every new fashion trend that has come along since my mid to late 20's. No one's ever going to see me wearing clothes a size too small, crocs or long sleeve shirts with vests. I've never exposed my undies by wearing my pants below my waist. I'm ALWAYS going to tie my shoelaces. By the way, I only buy shoes once every 2-3 years.

Isn't tying shoes laces a trend

I had pizza buffet for lunch at Mountain Mike's and I just got out of an appointment and now I could really go for some ice cream. I'm home and I have ice cream but I recently discovered a Foster's Freeze not too far from me and I'm tempted to go.
I think I'm just going to stay home but...yes, I'm home and I'm not going anywhere else. Sorry Foster's!

It’s now fashionable to leave laces untied but this is more of a teen/young adult urban thing. It just looks so sloppy. Who invents these stupid trends?

Seven words for you, civiclx: Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue.

Four more words: those shoes are b*tchin’!

Changed my av. ‘Tis the season! Rexy is holding a snowball.

Hey sf, I think you might enjoy this video that I just finished watching. Had started it the other night.

That’s a long one, but I will add it to my queue and report back!

If you don’t medically require orthopedically soles, you might want to consider the Fifth Avenues over the Park Avenues if you decide to buy a pair of Allen Edmonds shoes, civiclx.

The Fifth Avenues go on sale more frequently and get discounted more heavily than the Park Avenues due to much lower sales volume than the Park Avenues. Because of their much lower popularity, there’s only one sole option for the Fifth Avenues. They’re not orthopedically friendly.

For dress shoes, orthopedic friendliness is only necessary if it medically required. It’s not medically required for me, which is why I’m considering the less popular model.

If orthopedic friendliness is medically required for you, stick with the Park Avenues. But only buy during the Anniversary and Rediscover America sales, as those are the only sales applicable to this model, which is Allen Edmonds’ most popular.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! Marco was the man and I was quite impressed with how he was able to make such an impressive meal out in the middle of the woods.

And you're the one with the good taste in cars right? I took these pics a couple weeks ago but I did happen to see the same car today

Ha, you're right. I had forgotten that it was that long. I didn't mean to split my viewing. When I continued it last night, I think I was about halfway done.

Dude, I don't think I'll ever have a reason to wear such a nice pair of shoes. I should add sadly, I don't think I'll ever have a reason They are slick for sure and I wish I had a job that required me to wear nice clothes but I'm a blue collar, hard workin SOB

Okay. It was worth a shot.

I work two jobs, stock associate at TJ Maxx and warehouse associate at a warehouse called D3 LLC. I go to parties with an organization for disabled people called YAI (Young Adult Institute For People With Disabilities) and, eventually, Town Of Oyster Bay Recreation.

I dress up a minimum of 11, eventually, 18 times a year.

I have Eufy security cams but I’ve been meaning to replace my floodlight (mine is just a standard-no thrills one) with this bad boy. BUT Eufy makes you purchase a new homebase for another $100. It will not work with the previous one.



$300 is a lot!

You're not just going to the parties to get drunk are you? I appreciate the suggestion though and again, I really wish I had at least an occasion or two to wear such nice shoes but to work, I've started wearing work boots and before that it was some pretty ratty tennis shoes. My off days are spent in sneakers and Adidas sweats (track pants) far too often for a guy my age
