Crustopher gets some pretty harsh criticism on SF--although of course completely accurate:
"You don't have to post every day especially when (each to his own, but IMO) your pics have become so painfully predictable and boring. Boxy shiny suit, baroque tie/PS, unnecessarily verbose and self deprecating preamble ... rinse and repeat. Why not take a break for a while or pick your best couple of fits from a week and post them?"
Heavyweight Champion of the World (internet branch) Mike Breinen comes to Crustopher's defense but is it too late? How will the Widow handle it? No one else is coming to his defense, and he's just one of many who post way way too often and really have nothing to offer on their best days--Oregitex, the dreary Holdfast, etc.
The boys over at Andys still can't figure out how, or why, shoes fit:

Glossary: front foot area = toes
Notes: The fact that the Most Celebrated Allen and Edmonds Footworks Specialty Provisions Manufactory is seemingly incapable of making a product with a consistent size is comforting to the Great McTwizz:
"The size/tolerance issue wasn't denied, but thus is the sacrifice for human hands making our AMERICAN MADE shoes. Worth it to me!!! "
Ah, the Great Fora Mystery of foot measurement! Frightful, fearful and fraught with peril, not to mention foot pain, unvanquished stench and endless posts. To badly paraphrase Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
They sow the horsehide, we'll reap the corns,
After we order the shoes in which we try to walk,
And then, at moments, suddenly,
We look down to our great wide yet tiny feet,
Inquiring howfore we should measureā¦
For earnest or for fora talk?
^ Damn.
