I had a dream last night about a pair of my Ealing Brogues, the soles were going through and I was sad. Fortunately it was but a dream. By the way, anyone in south east London who wants a couple of tips I know a fantastic shoe repairer (who also makes his own bespoke shoes) close to the big Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill. Also an old boy called 'Fred the Shoe' (I shit you not) on Walworth Rd of Men's Traditional Shoes who picks up seconds from some of the best handmade shoe factories in Blighty before turning them around for about £65.
I should take some pics of some of my shoes but I'm afraid I've become something of a cross between Imelda Marcos and Dorian Gray - it's not pretty. Mainly brogues but also a fine Cromwell or two.
