  • Searching for early Steel.....

So this is very far away from being fishing related, but here goes.  I also realize that I am probably going to prone to some ribbing but here goes.  So I haven't had the time or ambition to go out and look for deals.  But I haven't bought a new pair of shoes for like a couple years, so I figured that with my $50 gift card that I got, I would go look for a pair of new skids.  Well, looked all over the mall, saw some ok ones, but didn't really like them at all.  Made it over to sport check and man, do they ever have a lot of runners, hikers and what not in the shoe department.  Anyhow, I got to looking, and saw 3 or so pairs of trainers/ hikers that I liked.  After trying them on, I narrowed it down to a couple pairs.  The Crosby cross trainers and a pair of Merrel hikers.  I couldn't afford both of them so I decide on the hikers, make it up to the cashier and she says, "you know, you can get a second pair for 50% off".  So I think, hey with this gift card and the 50% off the second pair, I am basically get one pair for free.  So I head back over and get the Crosby Trainers as well.  Total bill is just over $120 for 2 real nice pairs of shoes.  :o  Man are they ever comfortable as well, and really light.  Regular price for both of these combined without the deal would be just over $300 bucks, so I think that I got a real good deal and I am happy that there are still some deals to be stumbled upon!! ;D

I own 6 pairs of shoes. Just bought a pair of Nike Shox two weeks ago. I also have about 10-12 jackets. Whats wrong with having a large wardrobe? Also have a ton of Under Armour, pants,shirts,socks,hats,backpack,water bottle

Just checking.  You guys are still men, right?  I mean c'mon, talking about shopping for shoes?   ::)  ;D ;D ;D

Now, if you got a good deal on a Sage rod or a Calcutta, that I can understand. ......

I hope the women  ;D do not get offended but boy do you guys sound like a bunch of women  ;D . Talking about shoe shopping on a fishing site. If Al Bundy was dead he would role over in his grave. And then top it all off bb talks about his wardrobe  ::) ::). Now I really need a drink. Let's hope you GUYS get back to reality after the derby.  :P :P

Some of us in our thirties still look good  :P Ever heard the expression " Clothes make the man "

Just because you are married is no reason to let yourself go. I have always cared about the way I look and what I wear. Nothing wrong with that  ;D
