Toad, my friend, I'm finally getting around to telling you I bought another pair of Topsiders. Yes, I read your recent musings on how much you dislike them. Please don't hold it against me-- these just jumped into my hands and I'm not a bit sorry. Canvas and cushy-- I wear them with no socks, of course, and I did end up just tying a square knot in the leather laces so I could snip them. They slide right on and off. I never thought I'd want to own a pair again after everybody just HAD to have them in the '70s. I wore them when I sailed (before they were cool), then everybody got them. Molly thinks they're pretty spiffy too.

Kathy you may have misunderstood. I adore tops, and have worn a pair sometime each day for the past 40 years.
ReplyDeleteSeveral weeks ago, in a cost saving moment, I purchased 2 pair of LL Bean boat shoes, which are made my Sperry and are $20 or so cheaper per pair.
It's my solitary pair of Quoddy boat shoes which sour me on life.
ReplyDeleteI feel better now. I have to say, though, that the last pair of tops I bought weren't like the ones I wore way back when. Like so many things in life. . .
ReplyDeleteI said "last," but I meant the ones before these canvas one. Love these. . .
ReplyDeleteLove those!
