Proper leather shoes

Haha - not quite, just hoisted the trousers slightly to get more of the socks in, although when I cycle to work I usually forget what clothes I have at work & end up at the mercy of a random assortment of things - all sorts of shit that really should not go together, today is mild & the shoes have been replaced by huaraches

Dumping all my instagram saved shoes...

Do you mean our very own Jake Br0wn?

He also struggles to find full length trousers.

While I'm on the shoe thread, I just found a pic of some bold shoes I spotted a while back - these were in a shop in Budapest & I'm glad it was shut as strong drink had been taken - ooft!

Don’t know that name, other than somebody that you definitely would not know.

Any good sock recommendations?
I seem to trash them pretty quickly in part due to my large feet, so cheaper the better.
Community clothing ones seems good basics at £4.

M&S.

I wear Dickies cushion crew socks all winter and then thinner 'fun' ones for the rest of the year.
They're nothing interesting to look at but; they're warm, last ages, black and don't make my ankle hair hurt.

Yea - Paul Smith

Uhuh

so cheaper the better.

Bugger

M&S cotton rich cool and fresh.

DeFeet, available from Prendas

Pringles 3 pack.
Can be found in TK Max for 10 months of the year

Finisterre last long wool sock

https://finisterre.com/products/original-sock-navy

Quite likely to be cheaper in the long run while better than any cotton sock

M&S merino £15 for a three pack

If you want something not grey, black or blue check out Uniqlo.

I'd still say m&s tho

Merino or the ones with silver.

Muji. Though questionable sources of cotton/production in suspect parts of China.

My favourite budget socks though.

What's the wool percentage?
My latest favs are from Merino Country, with Alpaca; so nice!

Great poem.

Thanks all! I’ll check out various suggestions.
Should have been clearer bolder solids would be preference.

Paul Smith socks are great, I now only ever buy in the sale though. If you go to the smaller Covent Garden store they are doing two for £18 at present.

I’ve found Muiji Uniqlo too small.

Another reason to get Finisterre then. Think they do 3 for 24

@withered_preacher No idea about wool percentage, but they're comfy and last ages

I now only ever buy in the sale though

Yeah! They are crushingly pricey. But so nice.

I've got quite a few pairs of the Community Clothing ones, both the thinner ones and the thicker "hiking" style socks. I really rate them, comfortable, nice colours, and that warm "made in UK" glow

Tret myself.
