Shoe Tip for Military Members

[Birddog]

Hello all, just thought I would pass along my fortune and bounty. I have been looking at a nice pair of what we call wing tips in the states; are they brogues if they don't lace up the leg? Anyway, since I couldn't stand the idea of ghillie brogues, I still wanted a sharp pair of shoes for my kilting.I was looking at the Nunn Bush Morgans at Kohls, pricy at $75 for me. But I went to the exchange yesterday, and found them for $39! So, if anyone with exchange priveleges is looking for a nice pair of shoes at a good price, there you go!

are they brogues if they don't lace up the leg?

Brogues are a style of shoe where the leather is pierced with holes in a pattern rather than a smooth leather. They don't lace up the leg but are a version of the "wing-tip" shoe.

Rights to shop in the PX are very precious, and it's good to hear that there are sometimes good deals. However, I think that sale may be just local to your area, as I recently checked at our PX here at Pendleton, and didn't see anything like that. I will check again today.

Thanks for the heads up.

Jay, I can tell you that the amount of shoes that they had on hand was small, and they didn't have a display model. I was just diligent in my hunting...the nose to the ground so to speak, keeping with my dogs! You might check with the online catalogue.

Phil, if your really interested in them, pm me. I have so much family in the panhandle of Idaho, you might just be kin! Buying them for kin is okay, I think...

Thanks for the [wing]tip!

Yes, I did see that they just put them on sale, again. I have been looking at them for a while now. They are constantly on and off sale, so for those who can't use the base priveleges, patience would pay off. I think I saw them as low as $39 once. Just darned nice when you don't have to pay tax or shipping!

JC Penney also carries two, Floershiem (sp?) are $80, Stafford (which I bought last year, siz 13EE) are on sale now for about $50

Silly - in Idaho we're all related!

Kinda makes me wish I still had PX privileges. I used to find some pretty good deals in there.
