Proper leather shoes

They're not penny loafers without the penny. I have some US ones in a jar if you're interested. :)

I did that with a pair of Sebago loafers, bought some old US cents.

I've got the white bucs :D

Where did you get them from? I'm looking for a pair

yer. still wouldn't pay £600 for em.

Well that makes two of us! what's your point?

the modern day british equivalent should be a pocket for ones oyster card

Oyster loafers? Oyster chelsea boots maybe. I love the idea. Bit of a pain to swipe though....

Easier to tap in and out though. Swiping is so 90's...

ebay, they're WALK-OVER bucs. Perfect little fuckers.

Oh, i know the company, my brother has a navy suede pair of boots with the brick sole from them. How do they fit on the width?

Mine are Ds, which i believe is 'normal' width. Fit perfect.
i wish I could wear them everyday, but the whiteness just wouldn't work.

with penny or without?

American penny, left shoe only, no beef roll

This is the only acceptable option

Brick soles.....? In 2012.....?

"Looks like I chose the wrong week to give up smoking!

You're a fucking slave. enough said.

Brick *...............** smoking!*

how come no chevrons?

markyboy, thanks

i like the beef roll. whats wrong with it?

Personally I dislike the way it ruins the line of the shoe - like outriggers on a canoe. They also look messy and, from a practical standpoint, get caught on abso-fucking-lutely everything. Like a hangnail. To each is own and all that.

Time to get another rubber sole thing on my leather-soled boots. Does anyone know if I can get something with a bit of thread on it? Not half an inch of commando sole, but perhaps a few mm? Would need a bit more than danite, but that'll do as a last resort

You can get plenty of loafers without the beef roll. It's a minor quibble. I find the insertion of a penny kind of crass though. What is it supposed to signify?

Hmmm I seem to have made a Crass pun there.

Gotta hit the wayback machine for that Sherman.

And thank goodness there are no beef-roll options.

Oh. And zouo - awesome They Live avatar.

Someone was asking about shoe trees a while back. Think these are a good buy:

Just got these Church's for 35 quid for work. Odd sized apparently but I can't see / feel any difference. Arrived yesterday. Well chuffed.

WTF am I going to wear this summer then?

Boat shoes - Too ubiquitous / No one's going to notice if you've bought quality ones
Suede - Just no.
Loafers / Driving shoes - I'm not Peter Stringfellow

So what does that leave me for a lightweight looking casualish shoe?

Grenson Finn is literally the only thing I fancy. Any suggestions? Try to keep it under £300.

Not that casual, really. But I like them.
