Who calls hard shoes "leather bottom" shoes besides Trump?

[yellowcanine]

Apparently that is why the West Point ramp was so "slippery". Was the general not also wearing his leather bottomed shoes with his dress uniform? Maybe he was wearing hiking boots? It's a conspiracy to make Trump look bad! Lock him up!

1. You are correct

Most military I know wear Caps with their dress uniform

[no_hypocrisy]

2. In addition, he's ignoring that the Secret Service and Advance Team already examined "the ramp"

and advised Trump of the logistics. They wouldn't have allowed him to go down that ramp if it were remotely dangerous.

3. Well the truth is Trump was helping the General down the ramp nt

4. He did tell us he knew more than the Generals, even how to walk down ramps.

5. He never would say it,

but all he had to say right from the start was, "Look, at my age, you have to be careful.". It would have ended there.

6. Dump trying to impress the rubes.

7. All I can say is, it takes one to know one.

"leather bottom".

8. Whether or not Trump's shoes really were leather-soled, there is such a thing

and they can be slippier than shoes with man-made soles. It's not about 'hard shoes', or 'hiking boots'. I have my doubts whether his shoes really were leather-soled, or if they or the ramp were unusually slippery; it sounds like an excuse they know the media can never check.

9. Well I don't call them "hard shoes" either

Usually "Dress shoes".

Sometimes "leather soles". (since my dress shoes have leather soles&quot

But I usually just call them my "Aldens" since thats my preferred manufacterer. (probably the last maker of mens dress shoes here in American by the way)

I don't know of this particular situation, but I nearly killed myself walking outside in a new pair of Aldens with yet unscuffed leather soles (they usually scuff up in a few minutes, wearing off the top layer).

Anyway there I was in my brand new shoes and I walked across a wet manhole cover. This was dry day in San Francisco. DOWN i went hard. like walking on ice!
