As the unofficial menswear nerd-in-residence at PI.FYI I think everyone should own a pair of these. They single-handedly saved the brand in the 1940’s and were worn by doctors & vets & lawyers & blue collar workers & bushwick graphic designers. My first pair came in a classic pebbled brown leather and these are my ‘fun’ black leather + pony hair pair. Price is steep but these have been good for weddings, workdays, +10 mile walks, rain and snow. Andddd!!! They’re unisex and look great on women as well. Enjoy.

i bought my pair off of my last college roommate b4 i graduated and they’re still holding up!! i wear them to the office, and i’ve also worn them to protests, running errands, walks in the park sometimes, formal-ish events. and i’ve never slipped in them!! imo they’re sturdy but still comfy, though you could probably add a thin insole for extra comfort. they work with many outfits and look best with ruffle/scalloped ankle socks, tights, or cute crew socks. attached is a collage i made for this rec of my pair in the wild lol 😌🎀

Truly the most painful few weeks wearing them in but they’re probably the comfiest shoes I own and elevate every outfit sooo much

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
