Folks
I am expecting to be panned for this - so do your worst!
If you fancy some of those 'technical' space-age looking trainers that Messrs Button and Hamilton sport, McLaren shoes are in a brandalley sale today. Just procured some fetching suede and leather 'racing-style' (oooh get me) trainers for £39.

I had problems using Internet Explorer - used my iPhone and it worked - and I think Firefox works on their site too.

It's annoying that they can't get the IT right but it's worth persevering - I'm very fond of my new 'racing' trainers (can't believe I'm actually writing this stuff down!)

+1 for Firefox working without trouble.

The more I look at these, the better a deal it gets and the more I lean towards the "buy" button.. Who do you reckon makes these? Look similar to Pumas.

Stupid question but are these fake? I only ask because the writing appears to be backward?!

The trainers look bloody stupid, but when I did a search for them I got this picture.

Shouldn't this be in the Androgenous Fashion Discussion forum?

It would be a pretty st bit of faking to do that, I presume it's a mirrored image. I've ordered some, anyway, so I hope not hehe

Anybody had their's (correct use on '? ) yet?, I know the estimated delviery was something sill like 12/12/11 to 03/01/12 but was hoping they were saying that to cover their backs and that I'd receive them sooner?.

I've just opened a dispute with brand alley as they say it's been dispatched and the courier Yodel say they delivered the parcel on the 13/01/12 but I've not had the item (no surprise that yodel are involved when it comes to a delivery problem).

Yep - I got mine last week from the comedians at Yodel, but they were delivered to a #10 house that wasn't mine - 3 streets away. Left in the porch - luckily, the folks that live there knew our road and walked them round.

I don't know who Yodel are employing, but they ain't delivery drivers!!

Very pleased with the shoes though - v good, and comfy too

Mine arrived, they are great shoes, but too tight on my left foot so I returned them and the refund landed this morning.
