Ta.
I've also been looking at Chatham's.

Had a previous pair of Timberlands which lasted ages, fancied a pair in a flash colour this time.

So that's why my shoes were squished and out of shape?

I get my Timberland deck shoes from Bicester, usually about £50-£60.

It helps living 15 mins away so I drop in pretty regularly to check out what Church's have on offer

I have those and a black pair. Quite square in the toe, wide fit.

Treated myself today at the sales. 3 pairs of shoes originally priced at £335.00 for the lot for £67!

The pretty but sensible pair.


The 'how do I walk in those' pair.


The 'I look like a 70's hooker' pair!

What's the comfort like? I need a wider fit so am tempted by those.

Wow! Now I know there's a core of us quite critical when it comes to arsenal and his adidas trainers but these really do make his look like bespoke shoes.

Sorry but they are not a good looking trainer in my opinion.

Good point above about the suede/leather shoes and polishing and would be interested in hearing how that will be achieved.

I had what looked like these in 1987ish with a Sergio Tachini trainer top and bleached jeans - oh the days!!!

Very good, I have wide feet and after trying quite a few these are perfect, recommended

They're OK. G fitting if memory serves.

Some observations:

They do look quite square and possibly TOO square for some tastes.
They are a light shoe, quality okay, but I don't see them being a long-lived item.
The tan ones are easily trashed when there is salt on the footpaths - they go black.
I paid about £175 for my first pair, £125 for my second off Ebay (new from a dealer).

I would say that is a bargain, if only us men could get 3 pairs of shoes for that price.
