Good ol’ Robbie Van Winkle – hailing from the hood in Carrolton, Texas. Yes, life was harsh in the northern suburbs of Dallas during the mid-eighties.

My stinky old Clarks

I have a very comfortable and well broken in pair of Clarks loafers. They are my favorite shoes but there is one problem: they stink.

It started with the original insoles. When they wore out I replaced them with a pair of fancy “support” insoles. These were made of a sort of foam … and they caused my feet to sweat. These shoes are leather and have no ventilation holes.

So I chucked out the foam soles and replaced them with Dr. Scholl’s regular old insoles. These worked well for a few weeks. Now my Clarks are getting a little stinky again.

It’s time for another new pair of Dr. Scholl’s insoles, I guess.
