Anyway.

Air Max 90 Infrared 2.0 Fly knit's




Whereas normal AM90s are quite padded. These are a really minimalist upper which I actually prefer

Colours are ok but soles look like something a short man would wear to appear taller.

Putin and Sarkozy would love them!

I need some new office shoes, and a treat is in order.

Church's, Loakes? Anyone got any reccomendations?

Sadly I work in a world where the standard foot uniform is black leather.

A brogue is as jazzy as I get!

Does your office sell petrol and convenience goods?

Call centre...

In all seriousness a guy I work with in an office with an actual dress code took great pride in showing me his new black nikes and explained how he felt he'd beaten 'the system'. He sounded like one of those naughty school kids you see pictured in the local newspaper with his hatchet faced mum, both doing compo faces because he'd been sent home for flouting school uniform rules every day for a fortnight.

I await a comprehensive flaming for this, but I think that about every pair of Air Max, regardless of style. Too high at the back, too low at the front.

Do you actually wear any of them, or are you building up stock to open a shop?

Most of my current wears - from back left to front right:

- Very comfy Clarks, for work, with rubber soles
- New brown casuals from Jones with rubber soles
- New brown work shoes from Jones with rubber soles
- Loakes - 4th pair of that style, never that comfortable and the brown ones crack and fade across the crease. Not sure why I kept buying them.
- suede from the Russell & Bromley sale; impulse purchase. Rubber sole makes them practical in inclement weather as per the Jones shoes.
- Three pairs of Barkers, the first 2 just back from a refurb and the suede a relatively recent purchase.

I love the look and feel of the Barkers; the less expensive shoes though are/will be great substitutes when it's wet.

Love me a pair of Copa Mundials.. Getting through four pairs a season sounds a bit much though.. Are they playing on Astro? My playing days are more or less over now but I've always sworn by Adidas:

Hard Ground - Adidas Copa Mundial
Soft Ground - Adidas World Cup (although I've still got a snazzy blue pair of Adidas Profi as below)
Astro - Adidas Mundial Team (as sported by most refs by the looks of it!)
Kickaround - Adidas Samba Super



You can keep your Ronaldo ankle bootie Nike jobbies!

I'm pretty much the same with the addition of Mondial Goal which are meant to be for indoors but I found a bit sloppy on the surface I play on, so they are used almost as slippers!

As I play mainly on 3g now I expect the world cups to last another 10 years based on the 3-4 uses per season, will need a new pair around my 60th birthday.

How long does it take you to chose which pair?

[Rich_W]

Anyone able to recommend some decent shoe trees.

I put on some shoes last night I've had for years but the first time in a few months and JESUS they rubbed like hell. The first pair of shoes I wanted to wear (which have always been snug) were appalling I took them straight off again!


I suppose the correct answer is to buy new shoes?

[grumbledoak]

The Charles Tyrwhitt shoes trees are fine.

But, yes, shoes that hurt your feet are about as much use as Anne Frank's drumkit.

Are there any GOOD guides on polishing properly? What do use and how to do it?

I've got 3 nice pairs of black leather shoes and don't know how to care for them properly.

Those are the ones I was looking at

Have you stretched any shoes with those, or were they just keep comfy shoes from shrinking?
