Cobblers to you

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.

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

Flip flops for the beach

Sandles without socks for going out at home

Loafers for travelling.

Steel toecap redwings for work.

At present that is the complete inventory of my footwear.

The mrs on the other hand has two cupboards and a rack stocked with the buggers.

…but when you factor in just how many of those she actually wears, it appears she has no more than you. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

Not a chance have you seen the mug on her. But it must be a Filipina thing as both daughters have loads of shoes as well.
