To The Manner Born: Any Thoughts?

Any Thoughts?

From Sperry, coming in June.

To my eye the product of a bad marriage. Is June the new kickoff to fall, or is the color unfortunate?

I'm willing to listen though.

These might be good for regatta awards dinners, forestry service director luncheons, or the rare squash-court judgments which require actually walking on to the court. Change up the laces, and they'll have a better chance.; April 15, 2011 at 6:42 AM
ADG said...: Don't. Read Yankee Whisky and then ignore his suggestion regarding replacing the laces. Just don't do it. Just say no.; April 15, 2011 at 8:33 AM

Most of us here are too old for it, but suppose they changed the laces and color, would that help? It could be a great going back to school shoe.; April 15, 2011 at 11:16 AM
