My sweetheart has this thing for shoes, men’s shoes in particular.
She buys them for me because she loves the shoes and she loves me. Over the years, I’ve received some mighty fine shoes, usually just because it’s a Tuesday.
One of the very first pairs she bought me was a sweet pair of Mezlans. I was a little shocked at how expensive they were, I mean, who pays $400 for shoes? What I’ve learned about shoes, though, is that the expensive ones are worht it – they’re more comfortable and they last longer. After 13 years, I still have those Mezlans, and I’ve worn them well past the time most other shoes I’ve worn in my life would have expired.
Well, Megan’s always wanted me to have a pair of Johnston & Murphys, which are pretty much the pinnacle of shoe perfection. I mean, they’re just a hair this side of John Lobb, and they’re excellent shoes. So the other day, she came home with these beauties. They’re gorgeous, and I love them.
Now I just need to get an outfit that warrants shoes this obscenely beautiful, and take my sweetheart out for a night on the town befitting such an outfit. Although, truth be told, a night of such caliber would be meaningless without my sweetheart by my side. Whether she buys me shoes or not, she’s pretty amazing.
But I’ll keep taking the shoes, too.
