How do you pronounce Saucony?
My sister tried to correct me the other day when I said "Sock-a-knee"

I pronounce it Saw-coe-knee

Is like Servaylowe in American no?

Saucy knee.

it is Saukony not Sausony

One of them is currently talking about a fucking pop up in Peckham.
Do they have the name? No.
Do they know where it is? Also no.
Their mate sent it as a disappearing text. I have asked - where is it? what is it called? what is it near?

I doubt sending them into town to queue for me will ever happen...

Fat laces, talk to me people.
Skate shoes I got have laces approx 18mm wide, and are too long. Where’s the go to get something wider (say 25mm) and shorter (I’ll probably have to cut them down anyway), as I’ll be looking to leave them untied for easy slip on kick off ability..

I use Mr Lacy for all things laces.

Not sure on superwides, but I have not looked at anything wider than 12mm

Temu, you'll love the price.

Copped these

I'm not sure. I think they just need to be styled right. I might keep them, I can’t decide 😂

(Mrs EB said "Congratulations. You’ve surpassed yourself by bringing the ugliest shoe I’ve ever seen into the home

Its giving “elderly gentleman missing from care home”")

Which is at least 50% correct I suppose 😜

In white, they're nice.

Quite like those but I’m also a sucker for retro ACGs.

Swoosh looks a bit on the small side no?

I really like those.

i was eyeing up the "Traffic cone" ones

Yeah I looked at those but the orange bits were too much for me!

What else is like the terrex free hiker/peg trail gore tex?

I'm after something good for winter that doesn't mind getting a bit muddy. I live near the countryside now.

I quite like these from Ecco:

And these from Merrell:

Probably not to everyone's taste. But what else is there in a similar vein?

You are too young for these trainers

Next stop Paul smith paisley.

Lozl.

The Vans MTE stuff is pretty good in winter.

Thanks mate.

I feel like I'm too old even for Vans MTE seeing as they seem to have gone all Yeezy-shaped.

I think I'd rather be wearing trainers that were too old for me rather than too young though.

Just get some goth black goretex running shoes.
