Editor Shops For Shoes/Bonds With Parents
I cannot think of a better way to revert to childhood “school” shopping than spontaneously taking a trip to a suburban mall with one’s parents.
Last Friday I trekked over the waters and through the fields to Staten Island to celebrate my father’s 67th birthday. Since the restaurant we dined in was a stones throw from the Staten Island Mall, I simply had to satiate my curiosity of finding some good shoes on sale there since they were items my “indispensable” wardrobe severely lacked. For my father and I, it was a great bonding experience. He dove in and really helped me find some amazing Florsheim’s in both Burgundy and Black cap toe. His taste and classic sense for great shoes really didn’t surprise me since he is 1st generation Italian and also had racks of Brooks Brothers and Florsheim shoes in his closet when I was growing up.
Below are the choices I made and I could not be happier to have finally neared completion on my “almost indispensable” wardrobe.
- Florsheim Lexington’s: $69.99
- Florsheim Lexington’s: $69.99
- Alfani: $89.99
