35. I haven't worn a pair of laced up shoes in probably 20 years

Mon Mar 9, 2026, 10:05 AM

Monday

I have a pair of brown and black Eastlands. Slip on leather polishable. The only laced shoes I wear are running or “”tennis shoes” but most of those are permanently tied.

I think I still have a box of chlorofram laced shoes from my Army days in a box in my closet. This are permanently shined for dress uniform events which were very rare.

Yes dress “sneakers” are all the rage now. If I wore a full suit everyday and could get away with it I’d think about it. The Eastlands go from jeans to suit just fine and are very comfortable and last.
