style profile- the reacharound
the general direction in which footwear styling has trended of late from plimsols to deck shoes to boat shoes has led us to the ubiquitous upper detail that is.... the reacharound. does fashioning 360 degree lacing actually provide a true fit? i think otherwise however that.... it's a bit of a wank! let's trend away from the uninspired preppy 1950's nautical attire sub(marine)culture of boat shoes & pin rolling chino's. but before we do.... let's feature some you may like.
