The Finca.
Sure, I’m walking in Hemingway’s footsteps, but it would be a lot easier to walk in his shoes.
Thomas Raymond & Co. has released a line of Hemingway-inspired shoes. These are shoes inspired by Papa and by Papa’s places. Slip on the Sun Valley. Pull on the Petoskey.
“Styles that pay tribute to his experiences,” says the Portland, Ore.-based company.
No surprise, these comfy-looking leather shoes have attracted more ink than your average loafer, with articles appearing in publications from the New Yorker to the Guardian.
The shoes got a thumbs-up (to mix metaphors) from son Patrick, who turned out at the big rollout in Bozeman.
“Hemingway was very fond of loafers,” Patrick told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. “A lot of celebrity endorsements are phony, but not in this case. Hemingway had a great sense of style. He especially loved leather boots from Madrid.”
I don’t know what Hemingway would say, but I’ll take a pair.
