Needed some shoes that could be worn with shorts, went with these...



Liked them so much bought them in red too...



J Shoes, style Cam.
Look good.
I went out to get some deck shoes on Saturday and nearly came back with a similar pair of loafers/moccasins. Came home empty handed though.
Still searching...

I fall somewhere between intrigued and appalled that you and, presumably, your colleagues are all wearing the same shoes. More so that you have all got together to discuss the fact and photograph it.

Nice shoes, but all of you wearing them and discussing your choice of footwear for the day?

Must be the male equivalent of menstrual synchrony.

Neutral. So went through some trainers and liked these. Wondered if I should have gone the Gel Nimbus.
I went for the Gel Nimbus. I'm neutral as well.

Very good shoe. Want to get something lighter for parkrun events though.

Are those the Nike "Free" running shoes that are supposed to mimic barefoot running? Any good?

What style are they?

They look like Fearnley, however, they eyelets looks different.




BTW, if anyone wants any Loakes always ask me for a price, I can do them with around 15% off list.

Maybe I should list stuff we are selling well with a 20% forum discount or something?

I think so. I always seem to wear the outer edge at the back so hopefully will make it easy to replace (plus they are Goodyear Welted)

My other Loakes have got a full dainite sole like this:


Good in the rainy weather we've had, especially as a leather sole can be (IME) quite slippery.

Brogue Derby apparently. They are part of the 'Design Loake' range (i.e. the cheapest! biggrin)

Gilzaroc are you exclusively a shoe dealer or do you sell all types of clothing?

Yeah, that is me.

I'm trying to think how to do this, maybe I could have a 'Pistonheads' page with products on there reduced. I stopped my online store last year. We have another footwear thing we do that does actually make some money, cheaper shoes like Skechers, Caterpillar etc. The higher end stuff people want/need to try, too many returns if not.

I know the J Shoes would sell well looking at what folk buy on here, same with the Loakes, we tend to do 8-10 styles at a time, stuff that is very current but still classic. Also, some of the Chatham Marine stuff, the more funky Rieker styles.

I'll have a think how I could do it.

I see so many styles we sell on this thread, and if people can pay £159 instead of £205 or £130 instead of £159 it makes a difference.
