Ticho and Ben from Stitchdown are back with another good ol' fashioned Stitchdown Shoecast Shoebag episode, in which we answer probing listener questions like "are there any more rules with wedding shoes?", "how important is historical context when it comes to a pair of shoes or boots?", and "what's your ritual when you get a new pair?"—and we discover that Ticho's process is incredibly long, complicated, and full of olfactory satisfaction.

Also he's very happy to tell everyone how much he loathes the carving stations at weddings that everyone else finds to be incredible. Classic Shoebag stuff!!
