Red
Because tractors are red and crops are green, darn it! I asked my husband if he would buy and restore me a little red Farmall tractor, so I could drive it around wearing my Farmall tractor t-shirts (I own several). I want to show it and drive it in the State Fair Tractor Parade. He said yes. I'm so excited, because I am going to own a little red tractor! It probably won't happen for a few years until we have the time and money, but I can't wait.
And back on topic: I never knew that cobblers still existed until a few years ago, they moved out of the cities near where I grew up, so I was under the impression they were all gone. I first went this year as there is one left in my city. I got my favorite shoes restored, which made me more happy than buying new ones. It was cheap. My shoes actually look better than new, now I just need to keep them that way. I'm also more willing to invest in much more expensive shoes because I can keep them for much longer thanks to their services.

The shoes I hate the most on a guy is the really long pointy dress shoes. I don't know why I hate them so much. I see a lot of guys in Las Vegas wear these types of shoes. Uhhggg....
However, as much as I hate those shoes. I don't mind cowboy boots at all. I think those shoes have a lot of character to them and I am not saying this just because Atomic Era Tom is threatening to throw his cowboy boots. lol
Going a bit off topic here, but I find that it's hard to find shoes I like in my size. It seems like the smaller shoe sizes always have more choices. I was having that problem the other day. I finally found a pair that I love though. They are an open toe flat shoe with a floral print on them. I haven't worn them yet. Really want to though. I can't wear open toe shoes (or even a print pattern one) to work. Just black or white shoes. So I end up wearing my all black converse shoes a lot.

Really, super pointy shoes? I don't think I've ever seen something like that. Except for maybe Jester shoes in an old movie about the middle-ages. Can you post a picture of one?

Scots-Irish, really. It often mystifies they English as well.
You British people are all crazy, with your "butties" and "tossers" and "rollicking" (I'm part of the Commonwealth, I can say it! lol)
I'm not a fan of the extended toe-box either, it smacks of pretentiousness.

Agreed, but don't forget Blue. Our fleet of Ford Tractors have been good to us!
Not this pointy. I do have round toed boots I wear for work, since I can't wear cowboy boots there.
These are what I wear at the plant.

On a related note, haven't figure out how to post pics with the new format if anyone can help me!

I will keep that in mind! Thanks! Anyways, love these work boots. Mine are about run into the ground, but I won't give them up until they're in shreds.

Ahhh, thanks for that! Now for a test run.......
I'd certainly notice if a fellow wore these, and not in a good way.

Those are for faking sasquatch footprints in mud for tourists to find.

I tried inserting a picture, but it didn't work. It tells me invalid URL. [sigh]
Anyways, here are the kinds of shoes that I hate:

I agree with C Dot, the shoes do look pretentious. That might be exactly the reason why I don't like them.

My feet hurt just from looking at those things. I have a pair of medieval era suede shoes with long pointed toes that I wear in a reenactment group I belong to. I can never get out of them fast enough.

The last time I was in San Francisco (this was last year around June), my parents and I went to Alcatraz Island. I saw a lady that wore these same type of shoes. They look really weird.
