About: I joined the gang at Gear Patrol because I believe that as men we often settle for less than the very best lifestyle we can attain. It’s been ingrained into our psyches to forgo certain products, services or lifestyles because they don’t fall within some antiquated male paradigm. Bunk.
It’s time as men to stand up and redefine what’s rightfully ours. Much of what I have learned to this end has come through advice from guys who had the experiences and knowledge I was seeking. My only regret was not learning it sooner. Now I feel it’s my obligation to pass along what I know. I’m not saying I have all the answers but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far.
On a more personal level, I live an active lifestyle and focus on my health and wellness as a means to sustain the frenetic pace. I also suffer from a case of golf-itis and spend a lot of my free time perusing that passion… ok, obsession. I aim to incorporate relevant fitness and golf content into Gear Patrol’s expanding coverage of all things male. Like the rest of the crew I can’t stand over-hyped, under-performing products. None of that crap will be perpetuated here.See Authors Posts (93) on Thu, Sep 4, 2008 | Email To A Friend

Uncompromising Comfort With Style To Boot
Shoes: Clark’s Grill, Jeans: Diesel, Belt: Urban Outfitters
Causal footwear is as vital to a man’s wardrobe as a great pair of jeans. Like a great pair of jeans the right casual shoe can be worn from casual Fridays, to nights out, to Sunday brunch. Covering all these scenarios makes versatility paramount. This Fall, Clarks introduces the Grill, a brown suede slip-on, ready to tackle just such a challenge. All while providing unrivaled comfort.
So what does a day in the life of the Clarks Grill look like?
7:00 am: A quick slide on and I’m off to the golf course (too bad Ben was still half in the bag from the night before and over slept). The Grill goes well with a pair of shorts and a polo.
12:30 pm: Family in town so we grabbed lunch at a favorite neighborhood bistro. Cleaned up with a pair of chinos and an un-tucked oxford.
9:00 pm: Paired with dark jeans and a blazer I enjoyed libations with the boys - of course, suggesting Ben order a Shirley Temple.
Having worn the Grills I can attest they pair with most anything in my wardrobe. Throw in the fact that my feet were comfortable the entire day (in new shoes no less), and I’ve now got my new favorite pair of shoes.
Cost: $90 @ Online Shoes
