    In Hawaii they say “please remove your slippas”

    and don’t take nicer ones on the way out. Thats probably a Japanese custom that the islands adopted

    Maybe so. Maybe not

      Ha, yea my friend’s wife is Korean, so that might be where it comes from. Next time I’ll just hang out on the deck with a cigar and let the party come to me.  😎

        More like “eh take off yo slippahs” with a “wassa mattah wichu” under their breath.

          Yeah I gave the diplomatic version. Like the sign that hangs on the door.

            No shoes past the threshold in Norway either. Wooden parkett indoors and all that water outdoors don’t mix. It does mean that having sock game counts. It’s also one of the plus points with pull-on Wesco’s.

              Which is why I wear pull-on Wescos when I am in Japan.  I can be at the next bar having a few drinks after dinner before some of the lace-up crew catch up….

                I’m surprised it took this long to come to the realization that the solution is: more boots. Duly noted. “But honey, what about travel to Asian or Norwegian areas? Do you want me to be woefully unprepared?!”

                  I think that regardless of the problem the solution is more boots.

                    Any wardrobe problem can be improved by adding boots.

                            Good way to start I suppose, that horsehide is straight-up boss-grade. 😎

                                @Appfaff I was just looking at your (wonderful) WAYWT and thinking “I need to see those boots” and lo… Beauties [emoji7]

                                  Thanks @neph93 - now that our crazy warm (and long) summer is over, I’ve been wearing them a lot more and really starting to break them in.

                                  I was just looking at your boss boots and thinking similarly actually lol
