                                  Alden 9901.  A perfect match for my Chief uniform.

                                  Black Shell, Barrie last.

                                        Thanks gents! I'd been wearing the Navy issued dress shoes for 10 years and they were terribly uncomfortable. Now I've got actual support and a steel shank. Life is good with good shoes on, and I love the Barrie last. It feels like it's made for my feet.

                                          It never ceases to amaze me how the armed forces all over the world expect their men and women to wear shite.  Our troops in Irag were spending fortunes of their own money to get clothing that was actually fit for purpose….

                                            yes, that, and the fact that I know what a good pair of shoes feels like, and I can never go back to whatever shite they're selling at the uniform store. For years, I thought my feet just hurt after standing for a while. I always hated Converse All-Stars as a child because my feet would be so miserable. It didn't occur to me until much later that the reason I don't wear many off-the-rack shoes is because they lack the support that I need. Honestly, my first pair of real shoes didn't come until about 5 years ago when I bought my first pair of Wescos. Then I started to really care about the quality of the things I was wearing. Then came Iron Heart…. yada yada yada. It's all been downhill from there 😛

                                            Back to your point though.... I think a lot of our uniforms are pretty good. The people that make decisions about what we wear at least offer a trial period to a chosen few to test out new uniforms. They also consider feedback from around the Navy which sometimes results in change for the better. All of our uniforms by law, have to made in the USA which lends a certain measure of quality to our gear.

                                            My Service Dress Blue uniform is actually made by Brooks Brothers. It cost a bit more, but I don't wear it very often, and when I do I want it to look GOOD! Also, I figure I'll get at least 9 years of solid use out of it no problem (assuming I don't grow into it)  🙂  so it was worth investing a little more into a better quality uniform.
