That statement brought back a very painful memory for me. Years ago moonlighting at Zale Jewelry to pay for grad school and I needed a pair of dress shoes because mine were wore out. I went to men’s shoe store in the mall and tried on some really nice Florsheim Wingtips I think. But after hearing the price I had second thoughts and as I was leaving I saw a Payless and there was the same pair of shoes for $35. I purchased the shoes and the very next evening at work my feet were killing me so bad I had to take them off before closing. My feet had swelled so much it was unbelievable. As I walked to my car in the parking lot in socks there was a dumpster in which I deposited the shoes. The next day I went back to the men’s shoe store and purchased them. I ended up costing myself even more money. Stupid tax. Knowing me I knew not return the Payless shoes to get my money back because I needed to learn a lesson. I have never tried to save money on shoes since that time.
I worked as a postal carrier in Amarillo a couple of summers. After a couple of days in my cheap shoes, I was convinced by other carriers to go get some good Red Wing shoes. They really helped.
At the press conference Lynn had on a dark suit and some kind of orange casual shoes. McBroom, also in a dark suit, had on some sneakers with a wavy sole. My old Red Wings would have looked better and they were work shoes.

Yeah, I don't budget shop shoes....quite the opposite. I have a problem. Haha
We have a huge walk-in closet with built-ins for shoes and I found a home for @ 40 pairs of shoes. My wife never understood why I needed so damn much room for MY shoes when some (or all) of that room could have been used for her extra shoes. She coveted that space. Ha!
When I became paralyzed in 2019 and came home from the hospital Thanksgiving that year, I was "informed" that my shoes HAD to go. She thinned my 40 pairs down to 5 of my faves (Asics among them). My various home health care aides, nurses, and son-in-law wound up with a good $4,000 worth of shoes.
Today, I use the Skechers brand of Slip-ins. They are great! Standing with my walker I can slide right into them. Great shoes and very easy to get into. I recommend them.

There's nothing worse than bad shoes. I bought some mid priced Nike golf shoes years ago. I tried playing with them on a couple of times and I had to take them off midround. I haven't bought anything from Nike since.

I surely hope so. I remember being excited about the UA deal and football getting cool uniforms, only for Hughes to blow it and come up with the plainest and unimaginative **** possible.

I hear they the grapevine, Coach Lynn should have key assistant coaches in place soon after the new year. He's behind in recruiting, but so are UTPB, ENMU, and WNMU. I hope he can bring some key UNK players with him in the portal and find several other immediate contributors. Year one will be a transition year, but should be light years ahead of Hughes' year one.
