I'm guessing Ben wants something in a more subdued color than either bright white or neon vermilion.

Affirmative my friend.

Yes, but I only wore those shoes once. Back in 1984 when time displacement tech sent me back to 1984 for a mission. As you know, when temporal displacement takes place, only organic material can pass through, so I was inserted back into the timestream naked. I ended up having to avoid some cops, and while hiding from them in a department store (it was 0200) those were the only shoes I could grab (I was obviously in a hurry). They did go well with the trenchcoat that I also grabbed while in the store to hide the shotgun I took off a cop.

Perhaps more people want more colorful shoes than plain old white ones? If that the demand, then the style is created to supply the demand.

Plain white or mostly white sneakers have been out of fashion for a few years now. I image the cod piece was met with some resistance when it became popular.
Not looking for plain white, I just don't want to look like I just kicked in a clowns face.

That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

I just finished a mile and a half with the dog.  Heading to the gym now.

I just finished a couple mile run with the horse.  Heading back to work now.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
