Stacy Adams Madison Shoes

In an age of Blackberry’s and Twitter it is hard to find something that exists for purchase that existed in a time when you had to hand crank start your automobile. Think about it, we live in a time of New. Everything has to new, from style to technology. Buildings, they don’t get repaired anymore, just knock’em down and build new. Well in the world of men’s shoes, it’s still nice to know that somethings will never change. One of those shoes that just seems to go on forever are Stacy Adams Madison Shoes

stacy adams madison shoes

. Stacy Adams Madison Shoes are a cap-toe shoe that have been around over a century. Sounds crazy, right. Stacy Adams Madison shoes were called the buscuit toe shoes by fans since the cap toe resembled a buscuit. Stacy Adams Madisons are made of the same specifications that they were a hundred years ago. Constructed of fine kidskin leather and fully leather lined inside for comfort and moisture wicking, finishished with a durable leather outsole. The one difference is that Stacy Adams Madisons come in a huge selection of color and leathers. Back in the olden days you were blessed to be able to buy them in either Black or Brown but now they come in over a dozen varieties. Stacy Adams Madisons are simply a shoe design made to last for the well dressed man. It’s been said before that quality never goes out of style and I believe that fully. People with intelligence want to get their money’s worth. Who wants to buy something that is obsolete in few months anyway like all the smartphones out there. Seems almost criminal.

Prom Season Rolls In Once More

You  truly know spring is here when talk of the Prom is on the lips of almost every teenager. Prom time, a right of passage that gives teens the first formal event that is dedicated to them, not withstanding Religious rites of passage. Prom is an event like no other because it involves the entire grade of their class. Every teen age girl and boy starts looking for the dress or Prom Suit that they think will define them. The boys if going with a date often times will try to match to their dates dress colorwise. Dressing for the prom can often be a stressful situation. Prom is short for the term Prominade has been around since the end of the 1800s, 1890s to be exact. Teenagers build up in their minds that the Prom will be the one defining zenith in their high school social life. Prom becomes simply a closing of one door and an opening of another door when it’s your senior prom only because it is simply the end of the line for a time in your life where you made friends for several years and everybody now will go along their own path from now on. It’s a very strange feeling when you look at the big picture aspect of it. One day life is routine and the same. You’re with the same people in school. Then Prom comes and you soon realize that your life will never be the same after that. Everyone will either go to a new school or get a full time job or do whatever they think may or may not define themselves. One thing for certain is that there is no stopping the change in life. Change will happen whether you want it to or not. The only thing you can do is mentally prepare for the  change and use it to your advantage.

GBX Boots and Shoes

If you’re the type of person who perpetually has their eyes open, you should have noticed a fashionable brand of shoes and boots with three letters named GBX. GBX shoes and boots have been around since the 1990’s but have sort of flown under the radar until lately. GBX boots and shoes come in a variety of styles that seem to cross all kinds of demographics. Most shoe brands try to appeal to a specific demographic whether it’s age,income bracket,certain industry, etc…. GBX Boots and Shoes blow all those old fashioned conventions out of the water. GBX has style of boots and shoes that range from conservative casual italian styled shoes ala Steve Madden to Neck Stomping Lug Soled Biker Boots and anything and everything in between. It seems that GBX is on a quest to put their shoes and boots on virtually every man on the planet with their huge array of styles and  even colors.  The designers of GBX are always in Italy and the rest of Europe looking for the next new style in mens shoes. It’s not an easy job because there are always so many new styles coming out that they need to choose the right one to manufacture. The worst thing in the world for a manufacturer is making a shoe that no one wants to wear. So they design a huge number of shoes and boots and whittle those down to only the best styles that won’t go out of style in a couple weeks. GBX wants to make you a shoe or boot that you can wear the next year as well in comfort.

Harley Boots

Over a hundred years ago during the dawn of motorcycles, riders quickly learned that riding is no joke. Harley riders in the begining saw that since they were riding what amounted to motorized horses they needed extremely strong durable boots to protect their feet and ankles. Harley riders tried different types of boots from cowboy boots to regular horseback riding boots until they realized that the type of boot that worked best for riding Harley’s were Engineer boots. Engineer boots are the boots that train engineers used to wear to protect their feet shins and ankles from the rigors of keeping the trains going. Engineer boots were not made for looks and not made of buttery soft materials. They were made to strong and protective for almost anything that engineering threw their way. Well being on a Harley at speed required the protection that engineer boots could deliver. Bikers quickly realized that biker boots needed to be made of full grain thick genuine leather and have a strong leather and rubber sole and heel. Biker boot leather needed to be strong and stiff for the contant shifting and protection  of the feet. Biker boots were not for those who wanted creature comforts but for those who wanted to survive.

Several years ago Harley Davidson decided to have products made that catered to die-hard bikers who simply won’t ride anything else. One of the first things they needed was biker gear such as leather jackets,vests and boots. Well, since they don’t know how to make these things in their Harley factory they went to a company who did. One of the companies was Wolverine World Wide. Since Wolverine World Wide has been in boot making business for almost a hundred years, it made sense to have them make Harley Davidson boots. Harley Davidson boots are crafted for rigors and performance that Bikers need. Harley boots need to tough and they are. Because if Harley boots weren’t tough, Harley Davison riders wouldn’t buy them. Harley boots are made of exactly what Harley riders need. Strong full grain leather uppers and a thick leather and rubber sole for vibration reduction. Bikers know that you can’t go wrong with boots with the Harley Davidson logo on it.

Bass Weejuns

If you know penny loafers, then you had to have heard of Bass Weejuns. Bass Weejuns are one of the original penny loafers made in this country. It is said that Bass Weejuns are based on hand sewn moccasin type shoes that Norweigan farmers were wearing. John Bass saw them and immediately copied the idea for the U.S. market in the early 1930s. Bass Weejuns became popular immediately due to their casual nature and comfort of the moccasin construction which would mold itself to the wearers feet. After the Weejuns would break in they became almost customized if you will. It didn’t take long for the the other shoe manufacturers in New England to copy Bass Weejuns because of the success they were having. Bass Weejuns come in several styles now. They have two kinds of penny loafers, one with the beef roll stitch and one with out. As well as tassle loafers and kilt tassle loafer styles. Bass Weejuns were always made of full grain top quality leather so durability is never an issue. You’ll see Weejuns on feet all across the country from courtrooms to college campasses and everywhere in between.

Yes, I know. Whenever the term leisure suits come to mind. Instantly you think of 1975. You think of think unpleasant two ply polyester thats itchy.

If you watched the TV show “Three’s Company” you will also think of Mr. Furley played by the late great Don Knots. That’s exactly what comes to mind when you think of leisure suits. Well, it’s now the year 2008 and Leisure Suits are back but they simply aren’t the same animal as before. Leisure suits have come back in a sophisticated,classy form that simply looks great for man who just doesn’t feel like wearing a suit and tie.

Leisure suits just aren’t the same 1970’s lounge lizard attire from that bygone era. Thank goodness for that.
