âToday Iâm in the Oval Office with the president,â Vance recalled to party goers. âAnd weâre talking about something really, really important. And the president kind of holds up his hand and says, âNo, no, hold on a second, thereâs something much more important.â
âHe peers over the resolute desk, and he says, âMarco, JD, you guys have shitty shoes,â Vance said. âWe got to get you better shoes.â So he goes out and grabs a catalog.â
âThe president is giving us four pairs of shoes,â Vance recalled. âAnd heâs actually asking our sizes in the middle of this conversation.â
It’s imposing for the big boss to buy shoes for his staff, but to be fair, a lot of guys do have shitty shoes.
