Gotcha! I've been known to wear out the toes of
my Topsiders with the lobster claws I have for big toes!

What do you mean by "break over the sides"?

I don't always wear socks in my canvas shoes...heck, you can just throw
them in the wash with some bleach if they get woofy...I know what you
mean about the support thing with topsiders...those shoes weren't made
for walking, that's for sure...another reason why I go with the canvas
deck shoes..they have some support and because they're lace up I don't
break them over the sides (I tend to sit pigeon-toed...penny loafers
break over the sides, too...)

I rock my feet to the outsides of my shoes when I sit and stand

Somehow, I don't want to picture that...
