"You can't make toast with a pair of loafers."

I'm looking for a TV commercial that aired in Boston around 1982-'83. I don't remember the product, but the ad ended with a man in a suit and tie returning home with a shopping bag, opening the bag, and throwing two pieces of bread at a pair of men's shoes still in the box. A male voiceover closed the ad with "you can't make toast with a pair of loafers."
The ad looked like it was shot on 35 and not on video, and I believe there were some exterior shots in a typical suburban neighborhood. I'm guessing it was for a retailer, and it may have been about their return policy.
A preliminary search for this ad doesn't turn up anything but men's shoes. Does this ad ring a bell?

Was it Lechmere? You could return anything there.

Best answer: Your thread is sadly devoid of answers, so as a gesture of support and comfort I will offer this reminder of a terrible nightclub's relentless, st00pid, call-and-response radio spot from the mid-90s.
