All of this—doling out relatively cheap dress shoes to a group of people disproportionately populated by billionaires, signing the boxes, inspiring fear of reprisal for wearing your own wingtips instead—is strange enough. Stranger still, though, is that the shoes (in some cases, very obviously) do not fit.

Always nice to have another company to boycott for all eternity.

From a different report, Florsheim had no idea it was even happening. So no need to boycott. Still haven’t bought Goya (or a shit-ton of other companies) but this one seems fine.

I also find it hysterical that none of these dumb fucks can figure out how to order florsheims that fit. You’d think they’d just shrug, order a new pair online that fit, and go on with their life. Worst case you say “yeah, looks like you nailed the size, sir”. But the incompetence is the point.
