thin, plain white crew socks
I own probably 10+ of the Nike crew socks that I normally wear with sneakers however I’m wearing more and more loafers now. Looking for socks more appropriate to wear with loafers so basically a lot thinner than Nike crew socks (I’m thinking maybe half the thickness or even less of Nike socks) and no branding at all or color other than white. Also a little bit shorter than Nike crew socks. Don’t really have a budget but the cheaper the better. Disclaimer- I actually buy the product 90% of the time I make one of these posts, last time I posted people got mad bc of this

Goodyear welted footwear with shorts
Any recs on Goodyear welted/ stitchdown/ resolable footwear to wear with shorts? I know handsewns exist (boat shoes, blucher mocs, camp mocs) but I feel like nobody wears those styles in 2023. I also know loafers/ bluchers exist but I can’t get behind the trend for whatever reason, I just don’t like how they look.

mephisto vs Birkenstocks
Anyone know if the Mephisto Birkenstock Arizona knockoffs are any good? They’re 70$ more expensive than the Birkenstocks are so I’m assuming they’re higher quality.

vejas sneakers resolable?
Does Vejas provide a resole service? I saw on there website they have an in-house cobbler that’s repaired over 5,000 shoes, but I don’t see a link for it anywhere. Does anyone have more info on this? It would be really cool to be able to resole these.

full grain leather sneaker recommendations
Anyone know of any sneaker models from “mainstream” brands (i.e. Nike, adidas, new balance, onitsuka tiger, ASICS) that are full grain leather? I recently bought a pair of new balance 550’s and found out via the rose anvil video that the leather is essentially suede with plastic on top to make them look like they’re a smooth leather. I’m trying to find something with a similar look but made out of full grain smooth leather. I’ve owned higher quality sneakers from Thursday and Greats but I just don’t like how they look and prefer the look of the more mainstream brands like Nike as opposed to Koio, common projects, crown Northampton etc.

Anyone have any cheap, durable board shorts recommendations? My only requirement is they have to be drawstring boardies. It seems like all the high quality boardies don’t have a drawstring (billabong recyclers, etc.)

boat shoes
Are boat shoes out of style right now? I recently acquired rancourt boat shoes for cheap on EBay but I’ve realized I don’t see anyone wearing them so I might sell them since I’m suspecting they’re out of style at least in my area (San Diego). Lately I’ve just been wearing flip flops and mules instead and have barely worn the boat shoes.
