K so he works a job where he needs to look professional/nice but he's on his feet a lot. He himself doesn't care enough to invest his time into finding the right shoe (he hates shopping) so he just suffers. These motherf***** are handcrafted with a sole made for WALKING not sitting on your ass all day. Think this is good enough? He also has pretty small feet so I needed it custom width (another reason why he doesn't bother)(you can get this sole instead of the one in the original photo)
um this shoe was designed to look professional/fancy on the outside but comfy on the inside and bottom. I paid 300 dollars for this shoes and read every review, it's good enough.
Cool. Didn't intend to disparage your gift, just giving an honest answer. The two things in life you never buy cheap should be your shoes and your bed. You'll be using one or the other 90% of your time
I like this sole on these ones, it just seems if he's always on his feet this would be something for him, now the first ones could have a flat sole which could cause him to slip on a certain floor and be uncomfortable hard to say?
I am not familiar with the Allen Edmonds, but I own three par of the Sandro Moscolini shoes, which look very similar, and they are extremely comfortable!
I don't know the guy, but I can say this with certainty: whether or not he appreciates it at the time, he'll definitely come to appreciate it, and quickly. If you're on your feet all day, a good, supportive pair of shoes is a godsend.
Lol he owns the place so he can wear what he wants. He's an optometrist and he wear either black slacks, black shoes, and a white button down or khaki slacks, brown shoes and a white button down. He looks professional in them bud
smh
