Look for hilarious wordplay from Trad forum regulars!

Yes, Camorristi, Andyland will love these. Good eye. So shocking and daring.

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?107510-Looking-for-general-purpose-shoe-recommendation
An iGent searches for a "general purpose shoe." Fascinating. He gave his requirements in an unreadably thorough manifest, but this got me thinking about a general purpose iGent shoe. It would have to stand up to the rough and tumble world of the dedicated Andylander, who on any given day may do ALL of the following:

- Walk the dog
- Do some "yardwork," which I have always assumed means windexing the vinyl siding.
- Spend 6-8 hours on the internet
- Take delivery of a parcel
- Attend lunch with noted fashion designer Alexander Kabbaz
- Wonder if he is still in the US Coast Guard Reserve
- Polish other shoes
- Routine maintenance on garment steamer
- Visit Brooks Brothers; cry in the car when the staff doesn't fawn over the purchase of an irregular clearance bowtie
- Scan local paper for events that might demand black tie
- Place a devotional offering (a can of Safir) before the household Alden shrine
- Write and edit a blog post about how the iGent and one of his awkward friends attended an event of went shopping while dressed like some ill-formed abomination from the subterranean regions of Oscar Wilde's nightmares
- Order a perfectly nice $12 shirt from Lands End; smile smugly, thinking about the hoi-polloi and their coarseness.

Can you imagine a shoe that would stand up to all these demanding tasks?

Hahahah! Once again Tradland resembles the protestant reformation. Justification by high-quality boat shoes alone.
