I'm looking for a pair of decent dealer / Chelsea boots, preferably a pair that stays smart, I'm not wanting the type that develops to a distressed patina. Plain, non brogued that will polish up. So far, these two have caught my eyes, no affiliation to the shop etc.

And

Anyone got any other suggestions, ideally same sort of ballpark price?

I love C&J but I'm not sure you could find some at a similar price to those posted unless you go pre-owned or seconds from the factory shop.

The best boots in the Wooorrrld, after their first 'buff'.

Worn with a white vest, Jean shorts and an EDL banner?

Errrrr no, surprisingly enough....if you look closer you'd have noticed these are not the steel toe cap version.

Apologies! UKIP banner?

so true.

Why do 't you go the whole hog and call me a Tory. FFS

One for the Sneakerheads/Trainer fans. What better way to start the year than with a new pair of trainers..? Well, I finally managed to get my hands on a pair of the very first ever Reebok Pumps from 1989 albeit a 2014 re-release:







Left to right: a pair of battered Fire Red 3 Air Jordans (2007 re-release), Reebok Pump 1989 (2014 re-release), Nike Air Max '92 (2014 re-release), Custom Reebok Omnilite Pump (2012), True Blue Mk3 Air Jordans (2011 release), Reebok Twilight Zone Pump (2010 re-release), Nike Air Hyperflight (2001).

I remember my mate had some Reebok Pump boots back at school! I think they were a slightly different model though.

What does that button behind the heel do? is that the release valve?

[Rawwr]

I have some Reebok Pump ice skates. They're not very good. That's all.

Yes, that is the air release valve. Only the very first model of Pumps had this. The subsequent models all had the release valve on the tongue e.g. the Twilight Zone and Omni Lite Pumps that can be seen in my collection photo have this.

Had them a couple of weeks, not had them on yet though.

You need to change career to advertising agency right this instant to get away with those!

I've posted pictures of shoes on here previously, and had similar advertising agency/estate agent comments. Only ever on here though.

I don't think I've ever even met an estate agent before, never bought/sold a house that way.

I don't know any estate agents that would be allowed to wear shoes like that. But certainly in advertising they're rife. I took a photo of 5 blokes talking (we were at a training day, I work for ad company) and there were 6 blokes talking to each other, they all had dark jeans with slight turn up, and the exact same brown brogues as each other, quite amusing. Its why I got non brogue Grensons

Looking for a robust pair of boots to knock about in.

Am tempted by the William Lennon Tug of War boot excluding the horseshoe steel on the heal.

Anyone on here had any experience of the or Lennon's?

I agree. I work in advertising and have a pair not too dissimilar to those. I don't do turn ups though, it's a bit pretentious.

God I remember these! Very early 90s- kid at school had those and I was so envious, thought they were the bees knees!! Great stuff!

Looking to purchase a pair Cheaney Tamar Boots, anyone know of anyone selling under list price.







Thanks Andy.

I had a pair of Air Jordans. They were hand me downs from my cousin and I absolutely adored them.

Looked very similar to these iirc:

That's cheap compared to a lot of the shoes posted here. Plus they'll last for years if treated well.

the expat office 'uniform' in the use is light chinos, long sleeve shirt trolled to the elbows and brown brogues,

i love brogues though, got several pairs in various colours, so not fussed what people's views are. they suit me, whereas i think loafers, square toed shoes etc. just look wrong. i'm a bloke and so i'll stick with what i know and like!

in the Loake, Tan and they come up big so 8.5

I haven't tried on the Ted baker, I seem to recall these were £120, for that price I might as well pay the extra £35 and get the Loake's - these appear to be so popular that they are never in the sale.

I have a pair of old RM williams ( got them in 1992) I cannot believe that the same pair are currently retailing at £300!
