Correct, you'll spend ~250+ on a new pair, but you can send them back and they recraft the entire shoe, including the sole and all the stitching and leather. It's basically a brand new shoe and that only costs ~$125. Those shoes will literally last you forever (unless AE goes out of business)
Ah sorry, didn't see this. Don't usually check this forum unless the fashion thread is bumped and forgot I made the post. But yeah, it was an unintentional (unfortunate?) pun. As for the jeans, it was more a question of my mom not wanting to go through the process of returning gifts she had purchased and much preferred myself and little brother deciding if we would really use anything. So we went through some of the important stuff and decided what we'd do. It probably came off as casual just because of how I was dealing with it at the time. Think I'd written like 5 or 6 different long posts in the Medical Issues thread, Things the Rustle Your Jimmies, First World Problems and deleted them all before actually posting. Probably wasn't appropriate to drop it in passing like that, should have just mentioned the shoes and jeans without the other personal crap.
Post a picture of them here. They probably look absolutely ridiculous and slightly like something a homeless person would wear at this point and you just don't care.While I have no doubt Allen Edmonds are great shoes, I've been wearing a pair of shoes I bought from Men's Warehouse for 10 years. Payed $80 for them? No idea how I got so lucky and have had them so long. They are for sure pretty worn out, but they have that worn in comfyness to them that new shoes won't have. haha!
But I'm afraid to get a new pair.
Calling me out! I don't think they are that bad, this is true. I'll try and get a picture posted!
