They now sell sneakers that look like shoes. Makes me think of a simpler time. When I thought of high top basketball shoes as the sneaker version of boots. They went up over the ankle for support and protection. They were much lighter in weight. And I could run in them. The shoe of that...

I often wonder if all of the guys who carry knives actually use those knives. Or are they just for show? Dude with a big @55 knife - has he ever stabbed anyone with that? Or is it a belt hanger? Just hangs on his belt for decoration. Like all of those samurai swords that are sold at The...

In an ideal world, everything would be top quality, and we would all be able to afford it. In the real world, I don't have the $$$$ of disposable income to buy a custom made leather jacket. That kind of money, for me, is better spent ...... how about on groceries? I need to eat, and feed my...

The sneaker is styled like the more popular dress shoe. It looks like it. But it's not the actual shoe model upper, with a sneaker sole. The sole for the sneaker has a foam insert, and a foam foot bed. The sneaker outsole is glued and stitched. The tongue is stitched to the shoe on the...

I'm the last to know anything. Sometimes, I never know at all. Why didn't anyone tell me? It's better that way. If I ever get subpoenaed, I can honestly testify that I didn't know, and I still don't know. Sometimes I'm not told at all, and I learn just like everyone else. From the...

I need another pair of boots like I need more tools, more leather jackets, more knives, more guns, more wheels....... Yes. Wheels. Car. Truck. Van. Motorcycle. Bicycle. Scooter. Skateboard. Bus Pass. It never ends. As if I don't already own a wrench in every SAE & Metric size, I then...

India. I can only imagine how much money they save by sending Horween Leather to India, making a shoe, then sending it back to The USA.

The bartenders started tipping me out at the end of the night. Bartenders. There were two of them. They overlapped each other on weekends. It was busy and The Bar needed 2 bartenders. I didn't ask for it. They started doing it on their own. Every night, after they counted out and balanced...

Sometimes delivery drivers would give us kids change, maybe a couple of quarters, to help them offload cases of beer, soup cans, or whatever was heavy. Those cases had to be hand carried down steep, narrow, dark stairwells into basement store rooms. I had just started high school. Young...

Some time back, I made the "executive decision" to stop wearing shoes. I like boots. Even low cut boots. I want ankle support. And I don't like getting my socks wet - which happens with shoes. The worst is when there are puddles, or there is heavy rain, and water gets in from the top of the...
