Then you are of an age. As am I. I haven't seen a Thom McAn store in ages but it was a fixture of my childhood. The place people went to get measured for and buy shoes. They were often stand alone stores in Cali

No wonder bare feet is a no no!

bytheriver.bsky.social•28 days ago

They are good shoes.

Great time trip. We had one in our neighborhood. It was next to Anderson Little.

Thom McAn takes you where your feet want to go.

moldyteeth.bsky.social•28 days ago

Wow that’s a blast from the past.

We sold those shoes to Thom McAn, mostly Joxs.

Bringing back memories..

Tom, I’d like to hear from you about the DOD under the drunk rapist Sec Def. How badly can he destroy our military readiness?

Oh my god - totes forgot about Thom McAn!!!!

Quality men's footwear!

I’m sure you were a shoo-in.

I worked at a shoe store in the mall. We had a plaque that showed the employees-of-the-month. For the months when no one met the minimum sales requirements, my boss would put Al Bundy's name on the plaque. Al Bundy was my store's employee-of-the-month 3 times in 1989. True Story. 🤣🤣🤣

Me too! Lol

madbitch.bsky.social•29 days ago

That explains your attachment to shoes.

eauhomme.bsky.social•29 days ago

I wore Thom McAn’s in high school.

donnykerabatsos.bsky.social•28 days ago

Fairfield Mall, Tom?

melissamingles.bsky.social•29 days ago

I did too! My first job at 16. I really enjoyed it. Now I work in the fashion tech industry.

jane1701.bsky.social•29 days ago

....in the mall

mattycornfed.bsky.social•29 days ago

I bet you were real particular about your daughter's shoes fitting right, too. After briefly selling shoes in his youth my dad sure was.

jitterykitty.bsky.social•28 days ago

I got my one and only pair of YoYos there

bluewavemaker.bsky.social•28 days ago

many of my fam worked there, and they made a good quality shoe back in the day.

edjardavio.bsky.social•28 days ago

Me too while going to Providence College.

4th grade...penny loafers. Magical

I’m guessing that 99.999% have no idea what you’re talking about 👞

cindic324.bsky.social•29 days ago

I do

bboxart.bsky.social•27 days ago

I wore Tom McAns to my Catholic Communion.

Step up from me. I worked at Kinney.

thisuserisdumb.bsky.social•28 days ago

I also worked at Kinney during high school and when I was home on college breaks. My paychecks from Kinney paid for my college books!

keithfitzgerald.bsky.social•28 days ago

Not one of us is surprised

jrobin.bsky.social•29 days ago

I worked at Butlers!

righteoushazard.bsky.social•29 days ago

Holy shit. Not only can Tom cook lamb, he knows his way around a brannock device.

jmas944.bsky.social•29 days ago

Got my Beatle boots there.

genxjase.bsky.social•29 days ago

So did I, 1989-1990 I think. Every teen wanted to work in the mall and it was the only job I could get. 16 -17 and wearing a tie to work everyday just waiting for the lovelies to notice me 🤣
