A photograph that reproduces pretty damn well Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

Hope the link works. Sorry if it doesn’t, I’m not the most tech savvy.

When I retired I very seldom wore them. Then, several years ago we were getting ready to go on a cruise that required moderate Dress Up. You know, men in coats and ties. I took out my Dress Shoes and found that the uppers were cracking. Found out they were not good leather at all. So, I went looking for a new pair. Hard to find, tried on lots of different ones and nothing really fit like Dress Shoes use to fit. Finally found a pair, not perfect, but will do.
