He's crazy, and those shoes aren't very comfortable IMO.

Back in the day they were comfortable, well made, and long lasting. Somewhere later in my corporate career they were consumed by vulture capitalists, I think, and the quality declined substantially thereafter.

Even their wide versions just dug into my feet and gave me blisters.

Everyone's feet are different. But why Florsheim's? Some CEO give Trump a bribe? They're decent shoes, don't get me wrong, but I doubt Trump has worn them. Billionaires like him wear custom made shoes, and if they're wearing off the shelf I doubt they're picking anything less than $500.

Rockports which on the few times I need dress shoes are much more comfortable.

For casual I wear Sketchers. For more formal I have a few pair of Johnstone and Murphy's.

Florshiem's are a fine shoe, nothing wrong with them, just don't work on my feet. By why the hell is Trump pushing them? None of his golf club billionaire pals would be caught dead in a pair of Florsheims.

Sketchers also make a real good work boot and athletic shoes too.

I have hobbit feet, they're wide and hairy. My instep is also incredibly high. So it takes a certain shoe to be comfortable in. Struggled with blisters my whole like because shoes don't fit. Buying new shoes usually meant buying bandaids to put on my pressure points before wearing them the first couple dozen times.

The thing about Sketchers is the styles they offer aren't great IMO. But I just need comfort.

My 20-something year old son told me I was now officially a part of the teenage girl in-crowd. Apparently they weren’t considered cool to his social circle, but I told him I was looking for comfort and not style.
Now I wear whatever won’t cripple my old feet.

They’re flat-soled and nicely padded on the inside. Ugg boots turn me into an all-terrain vehicle.

Three years ago. Style and Slip In ease sold me. They were great until,
Walking got so bad that a walk from the lot to the mall would require stopping for my sore ankles. I'm probably getting old..
WRONG!
The Memory Foam is great if you have perfect feet. I have high arches and the foam imprinted a bad support, causing ankle, leg and even pain higher up. This took time to get very problematic.
I researched the subject and found it is a common problem. Sketchers were made to be replaced every 6 months.
If your shoe folds at the toe box, that is fine. If the entire shoe folds, that may be a problem.
I am getting a pair of Anodyne (diabetic) shoes through my podiatrist. Meanwhile the stiffer LA Gear shoe has reduced my discomfort and I no longer need to stop and rest.

But they look good!

discount shoe places. (They aren't even wide) They were actually comfortable, so I bought them! Normally I have to order my shoes because I have really bad feet.

Ones he’s not wearing. Seems like something he’d do.

I still shine my shoes. Eastland slip ons. Not almost every day like in the Army but every once in a while I take off some if the existing polish and shine them up - burning the polish before I buff them.

... even with the best of intentions, and I'm not sure what Chump's intentions are.

I have very weirdly shaped feet, with bunions, abnormal arches and bent toes. Nobody else can buy shoes and hand them to me, expecting me to wear them just for their own enjoyment. It would be agony for me to wear them.

Yes, this is major cray-cray. I wonder if that rash on his neck was caused by the maggots that infest his brain crawling out, and going after other body parts, because they're running out of food inside his skull.

Soon they’ll have to wear their ties down to their knees and do the Trump dance.

That this scene will just seem both sad and insane in the future miniseries.

Didn't last long. Wrote his book, wanted to cash in while positioning himself as a fearless crusader for truth, justice, and the American way.

The one I was thinking of is mustache man, Bolton.

He probably thinks $145 Florsheims are high class footwear 😂

“classy” 🙄🙄🙄

Kinda big feet for his height, isn't that? I'd have guessed size 7 1/2.

I'm kidding. He's actually 5 foot 10 so, 11 1/2 shoe is probably average. Pudgy Vance wears size 13--fat head, fat feet.

He just hands them a box and expects to see them wearing them, no matter how badly they fit. Maybe that's the loyalty test...

And, if he's 5'10", he's only a half-inch taller than average.
That's how tall I am and I wear a 9.

are sold out. Sometimes they fit rather well, especially when I am going to wear double socks in bitter cold.

I just think it is bizarre that Trump is so damned obsessed that he's buying them all Florsheims (which I remember my late Father wearing years and years ago--glad to see they are still in business).

looks down at my worn out skechers.

I have a pair of brown and black Eastlands. Slip on leather polishable. The only laced shoes I wear are running or “”tennis shoes” but most of those are permanently tied.

I think I still have a box of chlorofram laced shoes from my Army days in a box in my closet. This are permanently shined for dress uniform events which were very rare.

Yes dress “sneakers” are all the rage now. If I wore a full suit everyday and could get away with it I’d think about it. The Eastlands go from jeans to suit just fine and are very comfortable and last.

Comfort is king in my book.

Than wear a cheap pair of shoes.

Hoka Transports. Great shoes.

Ah yes. Other Presidents.

And now he thinks he's found the best shoes ever invented. Because it couldn't have been his health making his feet hurt so bad, could it?
Spolier alert: yes, yes it not just could, but actually is..

Fucking magat Congress.

It's like a TV skit

Sounds like a tag and release program.

Old shoe business
joke.

Then I thought, I'll bet he has some shoes that he is not using, so I asked him, "What size were your feet?"

Not exactly high-end.

Florsheim shoe stores seem like vacuum cleaner stores.

He’s running a “White-House-preferred shoe club for men”? Just how much control over people does he want?

Seriously!

they should tell him they hurt their bone spurs.

Costly but best shoes I ever wore.

Then I retired, moved to Mississippi Gulf Coast, lost everything including shoes in Katrina.

Bought two new J&M. They had moved production to India. Worst shoes I ever had.

Wearing clogs now damn near full time.

occasions.

So many choices. So many opportunities to dress up in the standards of Sloppy Don.

Everything TSF touches dies..

That's pathetic.

JD Vance's size 13 gave me pause. I feel sorry for the couches inside the VP's residence and at the hotels he stays at.

My boyfriend at the time wore size 13's. I later had a fiance who wore 12's. The foot size rule didn't apply to them. I think couches are safe around JD.

tomorrow the EO will be issued requiring that men must wear their underwear in the outside and all sh!t stains must be orange.

.

...was don't drink cheap booze and don't wear cheap shoes.

My theory.

Sorry. Don't know much about men's shoes.

I don't know much about men's shoes, either. But, I do know that most of Trump's recipients normally wear designer shoes that cost at least 10 times what these things cost.

If you think you might get away with not wearing the shoes…well, we can’t have that kind of independent thinking around, can we.

I mean, seriously, ya tell a guy to wear the shoes and he doesn’t do it…what’s gonna happen when ya tell him to start rounding up “fake” voters who didn’t vote for him in 2020?

I joke but seriously, this is a loyalty test. Wear the shoes equals trusted. Not wearing the shoes? Untrustworthy.

Then he came for my shoes and I remained silent.

Soon they will all be in full matching uniforms.

If he really wants to torture them he can also get them insertable shoe lifts. Has Fetterman received his pair for being such a good foot soldier? 😁

I heard today that our deficit is over $35 trillion but we can afford to buy shoes for his Nazi members, but not feed children, help sick Americans or aid in natural disasters?

Either that or it is just an idiotic distraction. Both are plausible explanations.

That's not hysterical, that's pathetic.

in favor of a pair of Florsheim's instead, out of fear he would seem disloyal

when he ties the shoelaces on these shoes, while his Louis Vuittons glare at him from the closet.

I mean, you spend your whole life sacking and plundering the plebeians in order to make feel good your petty life. So you treat yourself to some quality clothing. Only to have some doofus with ill-fitting suits and a guinea pig on his head give you shoes to wear.

Or as we know it today the trump administration........

on purpose so the people wearing them are uncomfortable.

I remember the Florsheim shoes store and I doubt they cost that much, also didn that store peak in about 1986 the same time as our fake leader did ?

I also know he is not spending his cryto money on these, quit spending tax payer money on these things, sincerely everybody

They did it but didn't like it.

Check out this video, "i got shoes you got shoes" https://share.google/IQYnAn0EhLhSeeBUu

No need to answer that.

Oh, yeah! Piggy's destroying the world but grown men too chickenshit to just say NO to his insane shoe bullshit is simply a riot!!

The nuke drops should be the funniest shit yet!!

You look like a rube" - Hannibal Lecter

"They're three sizes too small, Mr. President. The only way I'm getting those shoes on my feet is to cut them in half with a chop saw and let my toes stick out."

If you're a fat cat, $149 for a pair of shoes is "Grapes of Wrath" time. Weird gift.

It is pretty simple: don't associate with him and he won't do that to you.

Stealing from to buy this shoes? You know it's not his money.

What’s on the floor? Shoes. This really became noticable in his first term and has only accelerated.

I noticed this (specifically the floor thing) years ago when I started working with this population.

Odd choice for an alleged billionaire

That's cheap. My New Balance shoes cost $200

And I caught of picture of those Florsheims and they look like they would pinch your toes off! I [b]KNOW [/b]that HE does not wear those!

I'm a she and am retired with really bad feet. I don't wear "dress shoes" with dresses. I usually wear sandals from Easy Spirit. (Even at my kids' weddings) They usually retail for $60-70. SAS Sandals are now up to $200.

These are my faves right now. I bought a bunch of them on sale last summer.

both the organic and electronic kinds
