What Footwear Are You Wearing Today?

[AlanC]

As of now due to a database glitch the old Footwear thread appears to be lost. If it turns back up I'll merge any new posts into the old thread, but as it is you now have opportunity to show us your shoes all over again!

From yesterday:

Grenson Masterpiece strap captoe slipons

ATTENTION PLEASE:
WE ARE WORKING ON THE DATABASE PROBLEM. THERE IS A BETTER THAN NOT PROBABILITY THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER THIS THREAD, AT WORST AS OF YESTERDAY. THIS MAY TAKE SOME TIME AND WORK ... BUT REST ASSURED THAT WE ARE TOILING AWAY.

Patrick....very handsome shoes. Love the all leather soles and heels. When you get them redone, perhaps some new leather heels with v-cleats would be a good alternative? The heels will wear very quickly if they're just leather and don't have anything to slow down the wear process. Just a thought.

The inescapable conclusion is that mac ran out of shoes to show and somehow tanked the thread. Investigators with shell cordovan sniffing dogs are being dispatched as I type...

AlanC,
As I am reading your post there is a dog barking at the back door and there is knocking at the front door. Need to sign off

UPDATE:

The cause of the lost threads has been found to be a software glitch in the recent vBulletin upgrade. According to the vB gods, the data is still there and all they have to do is figure out how to glue it back together. Yup. Just a little bit of Elmer's should do it.

No matter what you may think there was really no skepticism or sarcasm in the foregoing paragraph.
