Pres. Bush's Allen Edmunds Shoes

[Hemingway Jones]

How was Marc's post off topic kind sir?[huh] Talking about presidential spectators here... seems on topic to me chief.

=WR=

I wasn't responding to Marc, Old Sport. There was another post that went slightly astray that was removed and I was responding to that. Had I been responding to Marc, I would have quoted him.

Out of context, it may read that way, but it was not intended as such.

 

[Wild Root]

Ah, I see... ok then, sorry to question your judgment. You're doing a fine job thus far sport! Keep it up! Make me proud!

To get things back on topic, I would buy a pair of those shoes if they were to hit the market... but, as it says that Allan Edmond isn't going to go public with these. However, if they did, I would buy a pair, wear it with a nice dark blue suit or an ivory gabardine job... wear it on the 4th, President's Day or Flag Day!

That would work for me as well. It sure would liven up a black suit too.

I think Ike and Richard Milhous Nixon wore spectators.[huh]

Ike, as president, wore saddle shoes -- but not spectators -- when he played golf. Nixon wore spectators back in the '40s, long before he was in office.

Here's a link to a follow-up story and it does show GW in the shoes.

President Bush looks a bit awkward in that photo of him wearing the shoes. I don't see him as a spectators-wearing kind of fellow. (To be fair, most men these days aren't!)

I haven't followed the President's dressing style but he used to wear Western influenced suits- details with a Western flair.

I can't see him as a Spectators man either.
And walking on the flag must surely be a no-no.

I remember when Indian(of India) style entered fashion a good few years ago- one company made flip-flops with images of Hindu Gods emblazoned on them.
Many Hindu folks complained and the company ceased production of that style.

He doesn't look that bad in them...

 

[Hemingway Jones]

I think they look a lot better on than they do by themselves. I actually like them more now. Thanks for posting that pic, Quigley.

Quite right. The shoes needed a context to show them off right.
Now we need to know if Quigley was there to take that picture.

 

[Tomasso]

I Agree.

I thought that the red portion of the shoe would be problematic but it actually looks pretty good.

Agreed. The red would have looked terrible on the toes and heel.
