PTB: the Shoe that Lets Everyone Around You Know that, On Some Level, You Have Given Up.

The Trads are already crying out the virtue of the "YCB shoe restoration method."

This fresh-minted iGent has apparently shortened his trousers in the past simply by folding the entire leg up inside itself, leaving the trousers doubled and better able to resist the harsh usage to which he puts them (wading through bracken, storming the beaches at Normandy, mincing around in hot lava, etc.).
