Show us your new shoes

[FreeLitres]

Just a heads-up - I was in TK Max looking at the Xmas decorations when I thought I would have a look at the belts to match my new brown shoes. Among the usual bonded leather and PVC crap, I discovered an Allen Edmonds belt (which was a pretty close match to my Church's) for £12. I recognised the AE brand as a decent shoe maker in the States, so I thought it was worth a punt.





When I got home, I had a quick look on the Allen Edmonds website to see that it's currently retailing for $98 and is propper calf leather.

Worth a look if you are after a new belt!

Adidas Berns arrived yesterday and ordered the Rouge this morning

Couldn't get Bern in 11.5 anywhere, so I got the Spezial in the same colourway!



On the lookout for the German Green/White Spezial in 11.5 if you ever see any!

If going black look at the Langdale posted above, the Chester, Edward etc. don't work on black at all, too heavy.

Just bought these poppy red Trimm Trabs from Size? today.



6 pairs of Trimm Trabs now, 2 pairs of Munchens, in total I have 24 new boxed pairs, all Adidas originals apart from 3 pairs of Air Force 1's and a pair of G Vilas, all from shops or Adidas UK, Trimm Trabs being my favourite when they become available.

Aside from the issue of you showing trainers in a shoes thread, 24 new pairs! Really? Are you related to Imelda Marcos?

They will get worn, three other pairs are in rotation now.

So I suppose it's 27.

I was browsing slip on shoes when I found this pair of Grensons. They are a wide fitting but I thought I would give them a go for £39! I've never had slip-ons before but even if I don't get on with them, they would be okfor doss duties.

It's hard to believe they're 20 years old in such good condition.

Cheeky!

To be honest, I can't find any others of the same style, so perhaps they have been discovered hiding at the back of the factory stores for a "few" years. I like to think of them as vintage!
