Proper leather shoes

kboy search also for 'wooden shoe lasts'

just bought these. pow!

Architect's shoes, eh?

you know it uncz

As long as you don't like you has the polio an' that...

I did look at those shoes, and detected a pronounced limp. Not sure why.

Tricker's shoe trees, £40, do it. Made to the same lasts as the shoes.

ooooooof that is a bit steep though eh?

How much have you just paid for the shoes?

It's like the people who buy a decent watch and then do their conkers when they find servicing costs are high.

The Evening Standard is keeping my summer shoes in shape during hibernation.

Didn't cost much.

ugly bullshit website but these shoes are really nice in the flesh and good for the price i think.

^ They look a bit special for some reason, you'd probably be better off with a £70 pair of John Whites from TK Maxx...

Agreed. And with Loakes on sale for less than £90 on Fleet Street, I know which I would get.

i've got some loakes for work. i like em so i bought em. so nuts to you guys.

is there a thread for extreme cold weather/snow clothing and in particular boots? need.

ive been waiting for fucking yodel to deliver my shoes allll motherfucking day. still not here. apparently il get them by 6pm, some timeframe huh

trickers have just arrived. slightly loose around the heel and a bit of room in the toebox, but still pretty comfy. should I keep em?

I have bought shoes before (durrr. incase someone gets smart) but have never spent this much money on em so wana make sure their 100%

you bought £300 shoes without trying them on?

fail. I know. I saw them for 250 so didnt think too hard before buying em

im looking for reassurance.

....I mean,why spend alll that money on such ugly unpractical footwear.......and the amount of times you will wear em
means 5yrs to wear them in........sigh....

I think how they look is objective and their a pair of shoes I have wanted for a very long time as I think their beautiful and well made.

I intend to wear them quite regularly and I expect them to last a long time and would rather invest in these than in pairs of guff shoes for the next 5+ years...

I don't think practicality comes into the equation when talking about smart wear...

'Cause they'll last you a lifetime and beyond?

if they're roomy i'd be tempted to get a size smaller, leather shoes stretch if anything

perhaps you can go to a shop and try a smaller size before sending back?

And only unpractical if you have bricks for feet.
My Cheaney brogues are heavy and hard as nails,
still prolly my most comfy pair of footwear.

Spotted in Paris.
