cheers luke warm. strange as i ordered from john anthony originally and they only had a 10. harvey nicks looks the best bet as i fly into leeds tomorrow morning. those hudsons look a neat backup option but the grensons look amazing in person with top notch quality so quite keen to get them in a size that fit.

pediwear are great i agree, its they who advised me that grenson aren't making another run until june.

I've got a pair of Timberland Earthkeeper Chukka boots like these, had them for a few years now and they're great for general job jobbing, walking the dogs, going to the pub, day to day stuff etc.

I'm no looking to replace them and was wondering whether to buy the same again or look at something else. Tan, brown or grey colours only considered, any recommendations?
Rockport Umbwe boots? wink

These looks like the type of shoes that council children wear to school (when they don't rock up in trainers).

"council" phrasing in itself? wink "wear" or "turn-up", please. smile

I'd say if children wore more sturdy shoes like this, their parents wouldn't have to pay £50-60/pair 2 or 3 times/year.
(I grew up in a council house, ya bastid! wink )

Anywho, a decent set of work type boots there. Not for suit wearing folk, however.

My Jones order just turned up with more shoes for work. I need to take a break from this thread as I now have 7 pairs of new shoes that I've not yet worn.

I used to wear Rockport or Kickers to school, nothing council about them at all. The knock offs they sold in Barratts/down the market on the other hand...

I like those. I'm after some decent black shoes, tempting! Were these in the Jones sale? Which model of Loake are they?

They're all a bit shiny for me too but are for smart work occasions and I go to a few black tie events each year so handy for them too.

The Cheaney model are Ewan and the Loake are Sharp black, think the latter were only £110 in the sale but everything is currently 30% off!

I'm wearing a pair of Loake "Design" shoes at the moment: bloody comfortable!
