Reply to TIL that Michael McDonald co-wrote I’ll Wait on Van Halen’s 1984 album by newbytony

Very few people have actually wrapped their heads around the scope of musical Badassery McDonald possessed. Touring keyboardist/vocalist with Steely Dan, lead songwriter/singer/keyboardist of the Doobie Bros, to recording with Thundercat in recent years, etc etc etc.

Like him or not, he’s had a magnificent career of making tireless hit music.

Quite a strong opinion you have there so I’ll share my thinking.

First, you can usually find a pair of Huggins Mills for around $250-300 if you check their sales/seconds page.

Second, I’m guessing you never owned a pair of Higgins Mills because I wear mine all the time and can do 10 miles without any foot pain at all. They’re recraftable while Blundstones are disposable and they look a heck of a lot more “business casual” regardless of state (I too live in Cali).

Third, I assumed he meant Brooks Brothers and not running shoes which is as far from business casual as you get. If the brand got tangled in interpretation maybe that’s my bad.

But in sum you’re wrong about HMs quality, comfort, price point and value and pushing a great but totally casual shoe as a business casual option that it’s not.

But hey, keep stating your cases aggressively, ignorantly, and arrogantly and I’m sure it’ll take you far. Xo

You can’t “dress up” Blundstones. I love mine, but OP needs something that can pass for office classy.

Look into Allen Edmonds. They’re about to have a big sale. Their Higgins Mill has several business acceptable looks and is a quality leather option that rebuildable and fairly durable.
