34. I like Rockports too

Mon Mar 9, 2026, 10:04 AM

Monday

For casual I wear Sketchers. For more formal I have a few pair of Johnstone and Murphy's.

Florshiem's are a fine shoe, nothing wrong with them, just don't work on my feet. By why the hell is Trump pushing them? None of his golf club billionaire pals would be caught dead in a pair of Florsheims.
