A Sweaty Solution
Everyone’s feet perspire. Some people can get away with not wearing an anti-persperant under their arms, and still finish the day fresh and dry. But I don’t know anyone who can wear shoes all day, sans socks, and not end up with a smelly, wet mess.
Inauthentic Authenticity – The Workwear Story
I generally try to resist trashing brands, blogs, and retailers here, feeling that if I don’t have anything nice to say, follow the platitude. But, this one got under my skin, and so here I go hopping on the hate-on-workwear bandwagon.
