I don't know how many shoes I have but I'm getting pretty damn sick of doing laundry and pulling an odd number of socks out of the dryer

This is probably the wrong crowd to suggest it to (or at least, in the wrong thread) - but my solution to this problem was to have just one type of socks I wear, they are all black and identical, so there is always a pair.

Don't fall into the trap that Big Sock is trying to put you in, man.

I am a a shoe whore. Growing up in Portland there where and are at least 4 or 5 friends who work for Adidas/Nike. It's my vice. Don't gamble, rarely drink. Shoes be my thing. Here's probably about a quarter of my collection......I'm not one of those that stands in line and spends $200. I either get them free or very cheap if I find some I like.

iPhone5? Is that one of those old dial ups? :biglaugh:

Bam!
 
I need about two pair but I have over a dozen counting dress shoes that I have no need for anymore and can't wear anyhow since I now wear orthotic shoes. I also have athletic shoes that I can't wear 'cause I'd take about two steps of a jaunt on fall on my face doing damage the would require hospitalization. I'll bet I've got ten pairs of athletic shoes some of which I've never worn, Avias.
 
Brown Gordan Rush's
Black Cole Haan's
Cole Haan Grands
A couple pairs of Sperry's
Adidas running shoes
Kobe's for playing ball, sadly. (They fit my feet right)
Vans Chukka lows - leather
Morrell slippers

Yes, I have a pair of flip flops for the pool

My dress shoes are Johnston and Murphy and Allen Edmonds.
I use to wear Rockports to work but they wore out too fast when I was at Boeing. Some engineers who had to enter airplanes under construction a lot, just wore tennis shoes to work. Ever seen a man in coat and tie while wearing tennis shoes?

Yes. I did see that when I was in the office a couple months ago. Must be a Navy thing.

I was never in the Navy but I got to eat in a Navy mess hall for a couple of weeks when I was overseas. That mess hall was like dying and going to heaven compared to the useless crap the Army fed to us.

We didn't get anything nearly that good in the Army mess hall. I worked mostly nights which meant that my dinner was breakfast to almost everyone else. Breakfast was Krusteaz pancakes made with water. Kayro corn syrup, scrambled eggs made with water and powdered egg and powdered milk made with water to drink. In the navy mess hall we had like seven or eight choices of salad, 3 or 4 main courses, maybe ten choices of side dishes, three or four choices of drink, 5 or 6 choices of dessert. All this and the mess hall was air conditioned. Luxury, luxury, luxury.
One time our CO threw an outdoor steak fry. Wow oh wow, They grilled all these steaks on outdoor homemade grills made out of sawed in half 50 gallon oil drums with rebar for welded on for a grill. I sat down to my steak thinking I was in heaven. Then reality hit. The steak was obviously an old tired water buffalo. Still to this day, I've never had meat that tough. I took this first bite and tried to eat it. I must have chewed on that crap for ten minutes and couldn't seem to soften it. Well, I was 20 years old and thought I was immune from serious harm or death so I took a chance and swallowed that hunk of critter. It went halfway down and lodged there. I thought I was going to die. I choked and coughed and choked and coughed and finally after quite a struggle I coughed it up and on the ground. Oh, dear lord that air smelled sweet.
We traded some very cheap whiskey, about a dollar a fifth, to the Air Force for the steaks and we felt cheated. But I got back at them. They had this material that they used to make temporary landing strips for planes like helicopters and sky raiders. I stole a bunch to make a command bunker for the CO. They may have wondered where it went and then ordered some more from the states. They could get whatever they wanted but the Army always sucked hind tit.
Trust me when I say the Army ate shit.
Hey, when I first arrived in Saigon, I use to go to a really nice Army mess hall. They even had ice cream. The problem was that they would serve us in these hot metal trays. The first thing we got served was the ice cream. By the time I got to the end of the line the ice cream was just a puddle of melt in my tray. We learned to eat the ice cream as we progressed down the line.
We actually preferred the C-rations which you could buy on the black market. Tody, they have MREs that are even better than the C-rations of old. Here we were in combat dying and getting wounded and they fed us shit. Bad memory.

While we're at it, God Damn it was hot. I remember on my off day I had to pull outdoor duty that was not at all nice. I went in the Com (Communications) center for a drink of cool water. It felt like walking into a walk-in ice box. I looked at the thermostat which read 80 degrees. As I walked back outdoors it felt like opening an oven door. All you could feel was that blast of hot air.

Enough of the good old days. There's more but I don't want anyone crying.

Sorry for the confusion. I thought you were Navy.

All I meant to say was a couple months back my boss (former Navy) was rocking the Air Monarchs with a suit and tie because it was a Friday.

I don't care who has more, but have you seen the type of shoes that kid wears? Like $600 dress shoes with a Russian mob track suit. He's get's no love from me on his shoe game.
 
I have more by the way. Quantity AND Quality FAMS.
