They look very stiff.

I have the ordinary Grenson Freds and they're not too stiff, they soon break in.

I've got the same. Love them.

+1 Prestburys ? Also have Bedale boots in tan calf, fabulous shoes.

Just out of interest which Loake wax do you use, the clear one or the tan one?

Me too. Love them and they get noticed / commented on a lot.

Ex FiL was a shoe repairer, he used to recommend creams over waxes.

Was just going on what was on the Loake website, assumed they knew what they were talking about

Meh, what do Loake know about shoes?

Just ordered these, Joseph Cheaney. My first pair of two tone brogues, will be interesting to see how they look IRL.





Another council TK Maxx special.

Pimp-tastic.

I consider myself more of a drug dealer than a pimp tbh.

Not that it appears to cause you any concern g3org3y , but I'd take the comment as a sign you'd made a good purchase.

Thanks Goaty Bill, I'm very happy with them.

Arrived today:




I've also located some brown suede Joseph Cheaney derby shoes. Unfortunately they are an 8.5 (I'm a 9), we'll see how they go. Worst comes to worst, I'll return them

Why on earth would you knowingly buy shoes in the wrong size?

If it's half a size they could actually fit better than the size you think you are. Or worse. Could go either way. Depends on shoe.

This is true. I bought some Grensons over the summer which are a full size smaller than I normally wear. The "correct" size were like canoes.

They didn't have 9s in stock.

For half a size, worth a punt. If they fit ok - great, if not - they get returned.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Some of these arrived this morning

The shoe may be on a different last and that alone can alter the shape of the shoe sufficiently to require a different size. With the option of free returns it seems a fairly risk free purchase.

Needed some new smarter trainers.

Ordered some Ted bakers on amazon prime day



Noticed the other day they had the brown pair for less then £30 so ordered them as well



Not sure if i will keep the brown ones.
