hammered daily at work
They look great. What do you do at work, out of interest? Think I might go for a pair. How's the sizing?

I own a coffee shop and roasting business so on my feet all day every day plus lots of dragging coffee sacks around, crawling hands and knees mending and cleaning stuff, shit getting dropped on them, going out for a fag when I’m at home and standing on the backs of them because I’m a tramp. That stuff. Sizing wise I’m a 10 and the 10s fit perfectly. The leather goes super soft and moulds to your foot.

Not entirely proper leather shoes but I have a pair of Crown sneakers, handmade in Northampton which I have hammered daily at work for over a year. I’m taking them to be re-soled at the factory tomorrow which fills me with glee; a non-disposable trainer. They’re like a pair of old slippers now and the patination is beautiful.
