    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.  😎

      @Matty123:

      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

      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.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          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

                                          @mrdiamond:

                                          Anyone know if wesco can build a romeo on the 9109? I think thatd look cool but im not sure ive ever seen a pic of one w a bump toe.

                                          I feel like I’ve seen it done but that maybe only because it should be a thing. I see no reason why not. Drop Chris@Wesco and email and ask. Let us know what he says [emoji1]

                                          For anyone that is interested, I contacted Chris about the inquiry of whether a romeo can be built on the 9109 last. His answer was basically yes, they can do it, but it would need a full midsole and half slip. Based on his answer and the photo he sent me, I think his answer assuming that I was going to build a pair using a wedge sole.

                                          I would probably build mine with a honey lug, and he sent me some photos of romeos with honeys but I was still fuzzy on whether the honey lug with the 9109 would still require the half slip + midsole. He was not able to find any photos of romeos, regardless of sole, built on the 9109 so it must be a rather uncommon request.  When I'm finally ready to drop the cash, I'll bug him more about a photo specifically of a romeo on the 9109, as I don't think I would buy a pair without seeing at least one visual.
