This passage, titled Clotheshorse, from the book Horseshoes, Cowsocks & Duckfeet by Baxter Black, makes me giggle each time I read it. It also serves as a reminder of the many menswear misjudgements I've made.
"I do manage to wear good boots, which I save for good, but I buy bargains for my work boots. I got a great deal on some steel-toed Red Wings, size 9, on sale for fifty-five dollars. They're tough; I've been wearin' 'em for two years. I'm tough too. I normally wear a size 10."
(I finally gave away my like-new condition, flame print Chuck Taylor high-tops. Keeping my big toenails trimmed short to wear them became an inconvenience, and sometimes - I wanted to wear them with socks.) ~L
