First bowl of delicious clam chowder down. Do I get another bowl or two or get some real breakfast? I was maybe going to go for a ribeye steak with some eggs, bacon and hash browns but the clam chowder is just so unbelievably good.

Just received an offer from a seller on eBay for some shoes I’ve been watching. They’ve only got a “1” feedback rating and no authenticity guarantee. Tempting but idk.

Shoe update: I requested the seller scan the RFID tag built into the shoe and send the confirmation photo to me to verify authenticity. I doubt I’ll hear back from him lol.

Sounds like a scam to me, I need my sellers to have a lengthy history of selling with a rating around 99.

Yeah I’m pretty confident it is a scam which is why I’m taking precautions. I’m not too worried about it. The fact that he didn’t upload proof already through the Gucci app (which uses RFID & NFC) is enough of a red flag already considering the shoes do not have the authenticity guarantee.

That’s why I will only buy new Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues from here on in, homie. In brown, which Allen Edmonds currently calls coffee.

I know I’m sounding like a broken record, but lower selling Allen Edmonds shoes at roughly 40-50% off retail is a rare and fine example of too good to be true actually being true!

The nicest shoes I own are my $200+ pairs of running shoes.

During the biggest sales, you can buy first quality Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues for $175-225 (leather soles) or $225-275 (Danite rubber soles), depending on the sale. Danite is pronounced /day’night/, for what it’s worth.

If you go with the darker brown (currently called mahogany), lighter brown (currently called coffee) or burgundy like brown (currently called dark chili), the Fifth Avenues can be dressed down or up. These colors are fairly easy to clean, to boot. I know business suits are not allowed at your workplace (too formal), Batman1980.

But I’m sure you can wear polo shirts or sweaters with chino pants. So the Fifth Avenues would be very useful to you, as long as they’re not black. In black, these shoes only work with a business suit, as they’re too formal or informal for anything else.

And they’re comfortable and (if medically required) orthopedically friendly enough if you’re always on your feet. But only if you choose Danite rubber soles, which I will now swear by. Plus, the Danite rubber soles have lots of traction, look much better (to me personally, anyway) and are much longer lasting than the leather soles.

Just go down half a size in length and up two sizes in width from what you normally wear. The last, the foundation on which all shoes are built, that the Fifth Avenues are on is what Allen Edmonds calls the 65 (originally 5) last. That’s a long and narrow last that requires men to go down half a size in length and up two sizes in width from their normal size.

Can you dig it?
