Just started a new job, and should, results permitting, be graduating soon! My mum would like to buy me a congratulatory present, budget £80-100.

I've got everything I want really, so thought perhaps a nice pair of shoes, since I had been looking at Loakes recently, thinking they would be a nice treat to myself when I get my first pay packet... However, for £80-100, what would you get?

I spend some days a week on workshop floors measuring race cars in overalls and trainers, and some days in the office in trainers or shoes, black jeans and a smart-casual shirt. I could probably wear slippers in the office if I liked, but if I had nice shoes that worked well with jeans, i'd wear them alternate days.

I was thinking brown brogues but open to suggestions. I liked lots I saw on the Loake website so not fussy.

I think what I like about those ones is just how different they are from your usual choice.

Not in a nasty way at all. Just a gentle ribbing on POETS day.

I tried to get a pair of the new Spezials and missed out as I ordered too late.
I do like them, perhaps not quite as much as you!
