More Self-Discipline is Required


It is hardly a normal state of affairs when a man's relationship with his shoe factory becomes a notable pleasure in his life but that is where this shoe thing of mine has gone. In the past it had always been easy to imagine a dozen or more desireable pairs of shoes, however my lust was kept in check by the hideous cost of bespoke. That limitation is now removed. Even with the premium for a single pair, a shoe factory turns out samples for nominal prices in expectation that larger orders will follow. At last I can think of realizing black leather and dark brown suede saddle shoes. And dirty bucks with red rubber soles. To name only two.

In the photo, leopard printed reversed goatskin for a sample pair of slippers that are underway this week. They might also look good in zebra. More self-discipline is required....

I've always believed self=discipline to be highly overrated.

How about bucks made from genuine buckskin?

Will....you need help for this shoe addiction....so do I......and where's this factory you're talking about....Gaziano?......those shoes of yours with the spats effect grey upper were orgasmic

Mark, sure. They'd probably need to be lined.

For those who asked, the factory is a private label manufacturer near Milan.
