Whats the big deal with Abercrombie?

Just say no to crack

My big problem is shoes.
Used to be I could go to just about any shoe store and find something in my width range. Now it seems like the only width you can get is D unless you go very upper end.

Shoes are just as bad, yes. I bought a pair of shoes when in NY that now feel too tight. I don't understand that at all. I bought them at the END of a day of walking around the city, thinking that would be the best time to shoe shop since my feet would be as swollen as they would ever get, and they fit nice and comfortably in the store, but now they are hurting my feet to wear them! It's just one little spot that's tight, so I've been wearing them on days when I expect to be sitting a lot and can kick them off from time to time in the hope they'll soon stretch and be comfortable (they are leather, so should stretch). Of course, if I had managed to get them in a size that fit when I got home, they probably would have already stretched out and be too loose now.

I pay Abercrombie & Fitch clothing prices for my son to wear to school. He's going into the 8th grade. It's only cool to wear this style clothing. You're right, we're white and rich...ha!

Actually, you're probably just white with lots of credit cards.

I bought this awesome polo shirt from the second store, like 2 months ago, and everyone loves it. I always get people asking me where I got it.

Freaking styling.

Nothing wrong with a pair of D's

Yea!
This problem seems to be because they don't stretch evenly, so after a bit you get high pressure in a point that was initially squashed into the point where it wasn't actually touching.
I've gotten pretty good at predicting this sort of thing
Today, I had one of a pair blow out the side for about 3".
Time to drop another couple $100 on something that may last till next year.

Depends, real or fake
A couple of rocks is worse than nothing.
