Tod’s? Dunno….
Andrew, you need purple driving mocs.
Does Minnetonka do purple, I wonder?
No. They don’t.
You need purple driving mocs.
How purple do you want them?
Bass, maybe?
Very purple and definitely Tod’s
No, but why is a young Dennis Hopper wearing them?
Because everything old is new again.
shoulda guessed: ” . . . the 90s will make the 80s look like the 60s.”
Tod’s was uncooperative, Andrew; I’d meant to link to an image that included purple mocs.
This summer’s purple mocs are not so purple as last summer’s purple mocs, I’m warning you.
I may have been wrong. Ultra-purple may still be within your reach.
This is like egging Mary Jeys on to buy that fab racing jacket.
Pfft. I found a more faded version for the low, low price of $419.
Not acid-washed, I hope.
Here we go: $359. But I certainly can’t think about buying them at that price.
If I find a pair for $35.99, may I act on your behalf?
You may. I’ll be snooping around for a comparable pair as well.
Acrid-washed.
What’s that on the ground–the dude’s fucking underwear? I need a pair of those shoes to wear when I mow the lawn. I like green and purple.
I think it is a man-bag or, alternatively, a murse.
Andrew, isn’t his murse behind him? That thing at the feet that Daryl points out is disconcerting. It’s so just tossed there, doesn’t seem like a guy with purple moccassins would just toss his man-bag at his feet.
I also think you should go for violet. Not plum. My vote. It’s like yellow shoes- they don’t go with ANYTHING, which means, they go with EVERYTHING.
Also, price is nothing if you can get out of drawing something at Clusterflockstock by donning a fashion item that the ‘flock encouraged you to purchase.
Acid-warshed.
I think that the object behind him is his pannier. He has tossed his murse to the ground by way of a disdainful gesture.
Oh my! I hadn’t noticed the murse next to him (I have been focused too much on the shoes). That is disconcerting.
As for the argument your argument, Mary, you might be on to something. If the folks here think I need it, then I probably need it.
MARY! You said exactly what I said to someone this morning! I’m like to die.
I have one of those good-for-the-planet purses made of wrappers from the chicle that Mexican kids hawk in the streets and on the outskirts of Pemex stations, and this morning I heard the first of the daily comments on the bag. (Know me — know my purse.)
“It goes with anything,” she said.
“Either that, or with nothing — which comes to the same thing,” I replied.
Found something sorta like them for $79. Filed away under “possible concessions.”
See, also.
You definitely need them. The Madden’s aren’t bad. Though you can tell by looking, they won’t caress your feet the way the Tod’s will.
Ooh, that Italian caress.
Get a Christmas job at a large department store and they will probably supply you with a pair of those.

Even worse these shoes I have been looking for two seasons now and are either sold out or not bought buy retailers at all…grrr

Comfortabe look but I believe the purple suede loafers have been overdone since last summer…
That Anonymous. Such a prig.
Andrew, I’d be happy to Photoshop you a pair for free!
They are hard to find, Kathy. I have been looking for them since last year myself. This is the furthest I have ever gotten. Turns out upon further inspection the retailer that has the color I want doesn’t have a size 11. Maddening.
Dyed Minnetonka’s wouldn’t do it, eh? It’s the fringe I’m guessing.
Can they do that with suede? Regardless, I would need them in white it get a dye to replicate the grape color I want, I would imagine.
I have found them in my size, but a purchase of this magnitude would be my most decadent purchase ever, my sound equipment notwithstanding.
MGS would walk barefoot [for miles and miles and miles] before he would spend audio gear money on footwear. Was a time, I was the same way about pro lighting gear. As a matter of fact, we did not have a line item for footwear at all. But times change and so do our decadent desires.
Think carefully Andrew. In Europe, they’re so last year. Which means, in St. Louie, you’d be on the cutting edge.
In the way back, when I worked for Saks, I spent $200 on a pair of Baker-Benjes tuxedo pumps, in “calf” buff, not “patent” shiny (double mark-down, less my employee discount). I wore them maybe twice a year for several years (as often as I wore my fabulous Donna Karan, midnight blue, double-breasted, shawl-collar suit–purchase story similar to shoes), without fail to have a conversational moment when someone asked about them. 200 bucks well spent, in my estimation.
The suit and shoes, now long gone, but, as apparent, I’m still talking about them. When I wore them, I felt like a million bucks.
I love these threads.
I avoided work for the rest of the afternoon and am even now awaiting arrival of a
new tie.
The shoes were just too damned expensive…
Ricky Cameron, exactly what I was thinking and struggling to express.
How about some Big Boy shoes like I wore in Europe?
