I've got a pair of those on the left. They're extremely comfortable; sizing is on the large size (I'm usually an 81/2 - 9 but ended up with size 7).
I ended up buying both pairs as I tend to go through shoes - my left leg is short by 30mm due to a childhood condition (perthes disease) so I get them built up (on the heal and insert). I am normally a 9.5 but ended up with size 8 so their sizing is definitely a bit off.tim0409 said:
Looking for some views/opinions on the following shoes. I should point out that I hate buying shoes as I dislike 95% of whats on offer - I also seem to have morphed into my dad having started buying the same shoes over and over again as they are comfy (Merrell). Anyway, I went into Clarks today looking for a pair of shoes to go with a suit as they had 20% off - couldn't decide between these two....
When I was young I absolutely hated wearing a built up show because back then they just glued an inch of rubber onto the sole which made me very self conscious. When I was in my teens I remember saving up for a pair of Adidas Torsion (very cool back then) which I then hid from my mum - one morning I woke to find the left trainer was missing and correctly guessed that she had found them and had taken it to get built up. They had sanded the tread down and glued a massive chunk of rubber over the "torsion" bar I took a bread knife to return it to its former glory, but because they sanded the sole I have even more or a discrepancy! Over the years they have refined their technique and now take a band saw to the shoe to split then insert the raise - here are a couple of pairs of shoes I bought last year (Timberland/Camper) but never wore as I went off them but am growing to like again (I am a nightmare when it come to shoes/clothes...)
This is a shameless advert but also bought a Calvin Klein leather jacket (Large - £250) which I wore a couple of time before deciding it is too big - £90 plus £10 p/p if anybody is interested.....

I don't suppose anyone here has a proper shoe rack/cabinet?
I'm wanting to get something to store about 8 pairs with their shoe-trees in. I would also prefer it to have a glass door so I can see in but keep the dust out.
I have a purpose built shoe cupboard. Takes about 72 pairs. Mrs 11 has snaffled most of that space...I'm wanting to get something to store about 8 pairs with their shoe-trees in. I would also prefer it to have a glass door so I can see in but keep the dust out.

Nice!I don't suppose you have a photo of it? Is it designed to fit within fitted bedroom cupboards?
