Loake Drake, wanted something a bit sharper without being too classic or conservative...

I really like those, Ive never had a pair of Loakes, is there anything I should know regards sizing, i.e. typically come up small/large/narrow/etc?

More new boots for me yesterday from the Doc Shop £40

[Shaw Tarse]

Ladies shouldn't wear boots like that!

[Slaav]

Is it a bit sad to get excited when a package arrives at the office and it primarily contains:

Saphir polishes, creams and rejuvenating cream?

Some spray treatment for a new pair of Church's and some polishing brushes?????

I think I need to get out more.....

[LordGrover]

Sounds normal to me.

Please say its not just me who loves attractive young women in Docs...

Maybe it just reminds me of student days. OTOH, I wouldn't mind a pair of those myself!

Really fancy a pair of these however they are quite difficult to get hold of, not to everyone's taste

What about these?

That's not too far from the truth.

I feel fairly safe posting my new summerwear now:


Plus another pair the same in grey so I can alternate, off camera.

What are they?

[Calza]

I actually quite like them. They'd go down well with shorts.

[sidekickdmr]

Can I have a bit of advice guys?

I normally buy cheap shoes, nice ones, but cheap ones.

I wear them literally 5 days a week all day, and they last me say 3-6 months before they get binned.

I’ve been looking at the Barker Newport in brown today @ £210

http://www.barker-shoes.co.uk/newport/

(im a size 14/15 so choice is seriously limited)

If i "invest" in a pair of these, how long will they last, with daily use?

Happy to spend a few mins a month maintaining them, if that helps?

Just don’t want to spend 5-10 times as much for them to look "worn out" in 6 months, even if the sole can be replaced.

[LordGrover]

Daily use will result in premature wear. If possible, try to get at least two pairs so you can alternate them.

If you're using them everyday, make sure you get a set of wooden shoe trees (£15-£35?) that you place inside the shoes whenever they're not being worn.

Yes happy to do this, they even come with a pair free when you buy online.
