Reiker - Light, good quality at a good price.
Go bespoke - you’ll be able to hand them down to your kids.
Do people still wear shoes in this day and age?
I know what you mean. It started with ties. People stopped wearing ties. Course, if you’re not wearing a tie, why bother with a Suit. And if you’re not wearing a suit, what is the purpose of Proper Shiny Shoes? I’m wearing fkn converse today.
I haven’t worn shoes since the last funeral I went to, and even then at least 50% of the blokes were wearing trainers with their suits (not like white Adidas or neon Nike’s, mind, but still trainers).
Even I wouldn’t wear trainers with a fkn suit! It’s not right. The good thing about dressing for occassions, as a bro, is you only ever really have to decide where to pitch urself on the smart/casual sliding scale. You do have to pitch somewhere tho! One or the other! It’s not fkn mix & match.
I just can’t wear trainers if I’m going out.
Smart shoes with trousers/jeans, deck shoes with shorts.
Trainers are for gyms and indoor sport.
Old farts wearing smart shoes/deck shoes is the reason the kids are wearing trainers. They don’t want to be like you/us. If we wear trainers, they will be left with no alternative but to go to Clarkes and get measured up. I am claiming trainers for everyone over 30! Don’t you spoil it for us Bob.
Deck shoes are for boats.
Dumb Goat, boats don’t wear shoes!
What you’ve got there Bob is a pair of dick shoes.
Dumb Goat, dicks don’t wear… oh hang on, they do!
That must have come from a well seriously “specialist” website @tokyo-saint
How did you find it?
Asking for a friend like…
Only so I don’t get that horrible smelly squelchy feeling between my toes when I accidentally tread in dog shit.
ANd don’t get me started on flip flops, flip flops are beachwear, full stop!!
Dumb Bob, beaches don’t wear shoes.
You keep them coming. I can do this all night.*
*may get tired and fall asleep.
As other posters of taste and discernment have said, Grenson and Barker are both very fine shoes. I think, though I’m not sure, that Grenson are actually made by Church’s - effectively their budget range, if such a concept makes any kind of sense. Jones do a decent own-brand range, less pricey though not as nice as Loake et al. Russell & Bromley shoes are just fab.
What size is that shoe (with the strange penis shaped foot)? My friend says it must be a very small shoe
“Skechers”, They’re not fashionable or cool, but light and have TM memory foam inserts for max comfort and wear. I wear them for those feet numbingly long corporate jobs … I haven’t been paid for this endorsement
