Jean color is too light for me, sorry. Needs to be darker.
Nice looking carpet, shoes also nice.
Tricky - yes the jeans would look better in a darker shade, but trousers should not be much darker than the shoes.Nice looking carpet, shoes also nice.
I would suggest getting a pair of lighter trousers to go with those tan shoes

Predictably I got some for Christmas as my old ones were falling apart and to say they keep my feet warm is an understatement - they're ridiculous and sticky feet aren't nice
I want to replace them but not for more of the same - was tempted to just sod it and get some Church's leather slippers but wanted to be sure that they would be worth the investment.
I don't have cheesy wotsits for toes in that my feet are fine in my Cheaney/Sweeney leather shoes so I'm assuming it must be that these slippers are man made and stop your feet "breathing"?
I had these bought for me about a year ago.Predictably I got some for Christmas as my old ones were falling apart and to say they keep my feet warm is an understatement - they're ridiculous and sticky feet aren't nice

They are showing little or no sign of wear and have moulded to my feet like a glove.
Lovely. Buy some, you won't regret it.

Pay attention to the opening times of the shops too.
From memory, C&J is only open Friday and Saturday morning. Trickers is closed over the weekend, etc. Barkers is well worth a visit as they have a massive stock, but you have to drive to the next town as they are not in Northampton town centre. Same for Cheaney.

The price is a little eye watering but if they last I could live with it.They are showing little or no sign of wear and have moulded to my feet like a glove.

Silly question but smooth leather soles and carpets, do you find you slip and slide? Only asking as I know when I wear brand new shoes with leather soles in the house I regress to being a child and skidding everywhere until the soles are broken in outdoors

No problems with slipping, the surface of the sole seems different to normal shoes. You can always get some crampons.
Bought a pair of Adidas Hamburg in the Adidas Dublin colourway thanks to the end of year sales. The blue is really superb looking in natural light, although it does seem to mark easily (you can even see variation in the colour in the above picture). All the same, I like them enough for that to not be an issue.
I probably won't get to wearing these for a while, but they'll enter rotation sooner or later.
Picked up some Grenson Rhys Toe Caps for £139 courtesy of the End sale.

I've gone completely off message and have a pair of Dickies Thinsulate Microsuede slippers which I bought from Walmart for $10.
Plenty good enough for mincing around the house
Nice for keeping your feet warm when you've fallen and you can't get up, and you're waiting for the home help to find you on Tuesday. Plenty good enough for mincing around the house
