Show us your new shoes

Etched soles are a complete waste of time, effort and money. Just why?

That said, Shoes are OK.

True, the design on the sole would go after a couple of walks along the pavement, but the etching on the uppers is pretty cool. I suppose you could say the same for any kind of factory stain or dressing applied to the sole. Still nice to have when brand new.

I was surprised to find a Loake shop in Bath today:


Loake Bros Ltd, 15 Green Street, Bath BA1 2JZ.

It's only been open a couple of weeks. They have the full range and are extremely knowledgable and helpful (if you get the right member of staff ). I spoke with I think the owner, Gerry McGonagle of The Brogue Trader in Cardiff.

No more new shoes.

But I broke out the latest addition to the sock collection this morning.



Swerni approves, in fact he's on his way to buy some now

Another TK Maxx find: brown suede chukkas by Loake. Been impressed with the burgundy ones I bought a while back so decided to get these as well as a treat.

Once again, lovely.

Really need to get myself some.

I liked some blue Clarks ones I saw a while back...

Thanks.

I also ordered a tan pair as well and will decide which of the two to keep when they arrive depending on how they match with a belt of mine.

I really like it.

I like thinks just a little different from the norm to subtly stand out if you make the effort to look.

I managed to pick up some rather fine shoes.

Crockett & Jones Weymouth from their premium "Handgrade" range.



As you can see they are wholecut (uppers made from one piece of leather) and have an oak bark tanned leather sole with hidden stitching. They really do feel high quality.

The RRP for this shoe is a chunky £495 but I managed to get a good deal on an eBay auction from a guy that wore them once and found them a tad too small.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I'm not normally a fan of wholecuts, but those look good freelitres - well done!
