Boots/shoes

Yeah I'm pretty sick of trainers so I want to get some proper boots/shoes. Unfortunately it looks like i'm gonna have to get real leather ones, but whatever, I'll deal with that in a minute

So basically i'm after maybe some brogues or something, but not as formal. Maybe winklepickers... But not those pure pointy ones because i'm not THAT guy, but something along those lines yeah? Or maybe some loafer-y type things that are all the rage these days. Where should I go for these? I want them to be not completely formal either so clarks might not be the best place. Will I have to go to topshop? Again, i'm not THAT guy.

Finally, if anyone knows where I can get actually decent non-leather versions of these either in real life or on the internet i'd be grateful as fuck.

THANKS

I want these:

They've sold out so I'm pestering them to reorder.


i hope you mean topman

go to the vintage shops RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE then try like mr bens, watermelon, retro, charity shops, barnados in the merchant city...

then try ebay.


Yeah good idea

I'm gonna actually have to look about :(

Do you not remember the last shoes I got of ebay? Those ridiculous big black and white clown brogues?

Never again.


i got nice shoes on ebay

girls brogues


What I tend to do is

Have a look in some shoe shops. They sell shoes. I look at them. And then buy them.


I've said it before, but, I'l say it again.......

you're one hell of acrazy, god damned maverick. A true loose cannon, a wildcard who can't help, but, play by his own rules!


In terms of brogues

how about these from Office

Look like brogues but with a flat sole. They do many variations on that theme that are worth looking at.

As for non-leather stuff have a look at http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk


That's pretty cool

i wouldnt mind something with a bit of a heel on it though, y'know... i wouldnt mind being almost not-small for once


I have these

They're amazing. Really comfortable, go well with anything and everything, make me feel like a cowboy, and make an awesome sound when you walk.

don't think you can buy them any more though :(, shame cause they sound pretty much exactly what you're asking for....

Try the fly-london website though, tehy might have a new version out now or something...


They do look pretty much ideal

Thanks!
