Perfect timing. Just picked these up to match my sport jackets and denim for the early spring. Size 10 1/2

Always preferred these to the Court Royales. 

The lines down the center rear of the Royales always kill the cleanliness of the look for me.

Never paired these with blazers, but now I will have to try.

I have a collection of Dunks, mostly in the neutral color palette. Almost all mids. 

Still looking for the all gray suedes. All of the monochrome issues seem to available in the UK, and those are my favs. I almost always have the get them imported.

Anyone here not a fan of the newest Air Jordans? They look like space boots to me. I can't get into them at all.

The classic Jordans had charm and looked stylish. The latest ones look something straight out of a 60s cartoon.

+1 on Blazers. I have a whole collection. 

I will admit to putting insoles in them. Nothing crazy.

The thing with Blazers is that they're flat. I can't stand the feeling of "flat" sneakers, so no Pumas for me for example.

Those basic insoles you get from eBay turns those sneakers into heaven on your feet.

Nike Zoom Invincibles are what you want. They aren't lookers by any stretch, and they're pricey, but they're the most cushioned pair of Nikes that I own and believe they make.

Finally caved in and bought a pair of Blazers for the look, but they are not comfortable. Thinking I need to pick up a 1/2 size larger. I read that you have to break them in, but they're breaking my feet!

You'd think being short would mean that the sizes we typically wear would be in stock.

I'm a size 10.5 and no matter where I look, in stores or online, those are the hardest ones to find, especially for Blazers.

They seem to always have 11 and up, or under a 9.

The Boot Thread - For Those Of Us Who Like To Wear Boots

I'm making this thread to talk about (if you haven't figured it out already) boots. I know some of you have a nice dress shoe or sneaker collections, but I love to wear boots. I find with a few exceptions, that boots go with almost any outfit (excluding shorts of course, please don't do that). 

I figured I'd kick of this thread so we can share out what our current flavor of the month is, or to put on display a pair of boots that you own and like, or would like to pick up! We might get some style ideas and inspiration in the process.

Affordable watch thread for short men.

For us gents with modest incomes and for maybe those who have money, but don't want to spend a fortune (especially in this economy), which watch brands or specific models do you recommend? 

A lot of people love to put down Invicta, but I love the design of many of their watches, and many can be had for under $200 (let's set that as the benchmark for "affordable"). 

So shorter gents, what's your favorite watch brand, and which models do you currently own, or recommend? I dress mostly "Dress casual", "Urban formal" and "Formal" if it helps.

Short man stock, trading and investing thread

Thought it would be cool to start a thread where we could all get together and share investing, stock ideas and tips on managing money well. At the moment, I tinker with investing on the retail apps (Robinhood, Acorns) with pocket change that I put side when I can. 

At the moment, I own two shares of Apple and a few shares of hotel stocks. I would like to get into investing more and am learning about the market, but am very much a novice.

With this recent crash due to the tariffs, everyone is saying that right now is the time to buy. I figured some of the more knowledgable and seasoned traders, investors and know more about financial management could chime in with tips or trends to watch.

In any case, let's get this conversation going!
