Not particularly. A lot less hot than in previous patent shoes I've worn. Probably a bit more so than in my previous shoes.

I'm on a mission to find these for a great price and get a second pair now. I'm striking out.

AND, you get a FREE credit card too!

A bargain at twice the price!

Ha Ha. Credit card has a crazy interest rate but there is no annual fee. It will get shredded upon receipt and I will cancel the account next summer and re-apply next November to get some more shoes.

This Is Not Your Father's Credit Score ...

Not a great idea.

Canceling credit cards can have an negative impact on your credit score. This could adversely affect the interest rate you're offered if you apply for a loan, but everybody already knows that. What most people don't know is that a low credit score can adversely affect your auto insurance, and home insurance, premiums. Cell phone companies also check credit scores before offering you a contract. Most importantly, employers sometimes look at credit scores as another way that they can pick the most qualified applicants.

I learned this from my accountants, Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe. That reminds me. I should pay them a holiday visit. I wonder what the visiting hours at the state prison are on Thanksgiving?

I tried on the Zigs tonight at a store and they are sweet. As soon as I can convince SWMBO that I need them, I'm getting a pair.

Zigs

Mine arrived Wednesday. Patent leather version. I get to try them out in a BV Saturday night. Hope they hold up to the hype!

Footlocker and Eastbay both carry the patent leather. Are you saying they'll ship the swede to Cananda but not patent leather?

Well, if you don't plan on using it, please mail it to me. I'll be more than happy to give it some use.
