Proper leather shoes

Vans classics in cream with blue piping

You can quite easily slip into tryna be cool dad, but I do also like the plan slip on vans too

Effortless 👌

Fucking love the Taken franchise.

Such a dude.

Grenson Freds in TKMaxx HSK (was looking for cheap football boots & spotted them). Some nice Trickers boots in small sizes also.

Reminds me of Stockholm. The trainers with white soles I'll jump on my boat later vibe was strong.

But no one did it half as well, was more cool dad with skinny chinos.

How do Bass Weejuns size up compared to Cheaney or Loake? What’s the quality like?

Paul Newman didn’t wear Vans those are Sperrys 😎

yeah, but vans are a better shape

I have some Drake's moc-toe chukka boots that are a couple of years old, and the stitching on the top is coming loose. Where might I get them repaired?

Wearing my absolute favourite shoes today. Socks may be controversial.

The slipper shoe is a great thing, perfect for the house and good enough to get to the shops for the odd whatnot

Depends where you’re based really - north maybe KoKo’s, south maybe cobblers nest in Southwark/Bermondsey

Or… DIY?

Also related - these are tempting me… no idea if the crepe is genuine and therefore hazardous when wet outside etc - https://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/products/berwick-1707-apron-boot5432-snuff-reverse-kudu

Dug these JM Weston out for the first time in ages today - need to get them resolved as I’ve sat at a desk and worn the heals away at too much of an angle which is a bit annoying…

Obligatory “has this been resolved yet?”

Got these yuks for a decent price on eBay. First yuks. Liking them.

New sole skins on new boots.
Canada West Iron Workers with Vibram Snow & Ice skin, hopefully preventing a 3rd rib impacting incident during the winter months.

they look great

Cheers, pretty comfy considering how new and how boot they are.

How much do vibram resoles cost? The shoe academy website is a bit confusing and has no prices.

Cost me 110 CAD plus tax, the Snow and Ice stuff is extra expensive.

The one on City Road was around £60 for the wedge sole, been ages since I had any done in there though so maybe more now.
