Been on YouTube watching a bunch of animals attacking each other. Love this jaguar. What a beast.

I dislike something like 95% of dress shoes and wish the ones I had which I loved didn't fall apart.

Thanks to what doctors call “a miracle surgery,” an Australian toddler is on the mend after enduring a near-death car accident that caused his head to detach from his body.

i feel ya. took me over a year to find shoes i like. My clarks lasted me nearly 5 years. The last year was with the entire shoe just falling apart. The final straw was taking in water everytime i rained. Was gonna take them to get re-soled but the leather is pretty beat up as well. I still might.

My dress shoes for special occasions are pretty nice. got some solid compliments on them at the wedding this weekend.

Whats the deal with the toe box on mens shoes now a days? what an awful trend! No one wants a toe box that extends 4 inches out from their toe. its just fucking dumb. Then there's the line or whatever that just runs perpendicular to the shoe. so dumb. took me a year to find work dress shoes because every fucking shoe had a huge toe box and a stupid line

That doctor needs a raise

Just looked him up. His name is Dr. Geoff Askin. He works at a brain/spine institute in Brisbane. Their URL is Brizbrain.com. Fucking genius.

A somewhat extended toe box is way better than a square toe. I'm OK with the line too.

I have gotten more compliments on these shoes than any piece of clothing I own.

i don't like square toe boxes either! i prefer them rounded and actually somewhat relative to the same size as my foot. i'm a 5'7" and i have a 8.5/9 shoe. i don't need to look like a fucking clown

Yeah, i hear you. There's definitely a sweet spot to be found. I'm 5'8" with a dress shoe 9 so I'm in the same boat.

by **jamiethekiller** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 09:22:40

i mean, i say all of this and my really nice dress shoes are somewhat rounded with the line. and a lot of them can look nice. but i'm just tired of seeing that as basically my only option

by **CalvinBall** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 09:22:43

my boots have a toe box but are not pointy like those shoes.

agree with the extended point thing. i wear an 11.5 and makes me feet look even bigger.

Cap toe shoes aren't my style either, but they've been around since forever

I feel like my being 5'6" with 10.5 shoes is a weird ration

On this page, there was talk about a child's head coming off then being reattached and surviving and dress shoes. Dress shoes wins the discussion. I love the internet.

No room for debate on how ridiculously awesome that is.
