    These boots is too ugly for travelling?

    If "traveling" means going into the woods, hiking Mt. Fuji, or working at the Fukishima nuclear reactor site those Merrells would be fine, but if you are touring a city, going into restaurants, museums, checking into a hotel, going through an airport forget it. Merrell makes comfortable shoes...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    It seems that your first pair was a little too short, and too narrow. What was the measured length of your foot with a sock on, and the measured width of your foot?

    Men's Sandals

    Norman Batiste, musician, July 2011, in front of the St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans. Norman is wearing socks with his sandals, total old school for New Orleans, and notice that he has modified his sandals by cutting a pattern into them. He did the same to his hat. //

    Norman Batiste; musician, in front of the St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, July 2011. Norman took a wool crusher and modified it by cutting a custom pattern into the crown which also provided ventilation. He did the same to his sandals, and if I can find the thread about wearing socks with...

    Purchasing vintage boots, what size?

    It's the arch length that matters in any sort of boot or shoe. If the ball of your foot is in the widest part of the shoe that is the most important length in fitting a shoe or boot. Other than that all you need is about a thumb's width from the end of your toe to the end of the boot. If...

    Battle of the Atlantic/Merchant Marine

    I can probably find the paper with the ships names because I remember something about him qualifying for his pension, I may be mistaken on this, but I think he had to prove that he had been under fire to qualify. A trip to the attic is in my future . . . .

    Battle of the Atlantic/Merchant Marine

    You're right about the date. He dated the photo sometime in the mid nineties when he was about ninety, and I never bothered to check the accuracy of the date because it wasn't important to me. But thank you for the correction.

    Battle of the Atlantic/Merchant Marine

    My dad, born in 1904, joined the Merchant Marines during WWII; and he lived long enough to get a pension, and to him that was like winning the lottery. He had been under fire twice on two different ships; somewhere I have his cards from sailing in various war zones and his discharge papers...

    A Matter of Pride

    Maybe the Midwest, but not the South; if there is one thing that Louisiana is known for it's cooking. We have a long growing season and the oldest public farm market in the nation; and we also have a rich variety of game and seafood. We also have restaurants that are older than most...
