Just a Ted Baker casual boot...

No wonder their share price is rocketing, great value/quality for £110

I hate many of the shoes on this thread, but these are good. I'd have to change the laces, but a good choice.

cant go wrong with a chukka boot, and the toe shape / length is a good classic design.

I presume these are stitch down / cemented, but if the quality is decent the price is also pretty good value

I like the blue laces & stitching

I have. Nothing short of a pressure washer is needed.
Superb grip, comfort and stability for coast/fell running. And they last ages!

They came with a black lace too, but I thought the blue picked out the stitching and lining nicely

Single piece leather shoes are the way forward for work, expensive but are very, very comfy.

They're Ted Baker, I've got the same, they're not Goodyear welted and are cemented down, but think I picked them up for £90 so not bad really. They also come with black laces.

I like the uppers but I am really not liking the whole dark upper / light sole thing that seems to be fashionable at the moment.

Does anyone have any experience of Crockett & Jones? I'm getting married towards the end of the year and I'm thinking of treating myself to a pair. I usually wear Barkers for work but fancy something else for this occasion.

Can't comment on KG as I don't own any but the quality of the TB shoe is acceptable for casual use although not Goodyear welted like my (more expensive) work shoes.

I have a pair of TB boots that I have worn very little. The soles have begun to split between layers already, which is a disappointment. I've not bought any KG shoes (the OH has some), but the ones I've had a good look at seem a bit lightweight. Mind you, I'm a shoe killer if ever there was one.
