I normally treat work shoes like non-stick cookware - buy cheap and often, but this thread has got to me. Barkers Leybourne...


The left one looks much the same.

Nice! Loving my Barkers - my "first step" into proper shoes. wink

I fancy some Church's/C&J/Cheaneys as a 2nd pair now though...

Blimey. That's a poster/shoe combo I'd never have expected going from online postings and imaginary expectations.

Both, probably. However, calm compared to the glam rock Jeffery West stuff.

What's your work? Does it involve corralling cows and shooting injuns?

Close.

I work in the oil industry in Houston.

Need something smart enough to work in my (and other peeps) offices and also have steel toes for going into the workshop.

Default dress code is some kind of Polo or short sleeve shirt with the company logo, jeans and boots.

Every one wears these out here.

Btw, we only shoot cans in Houston.



Mexi Cans, Jamai Cans & Puerto Ri Cans. silly

Wow, that sounds like you are actually a bone fide cowboy (almost) then! Oil in Texas... please tell me you've got a Cadillac. Presume the boots won't be up on the desk once they've being used smile

At £100 a pair I definitely wouldn't have paid full price. I am not averse to spending money on things, but after buying some Grensons recently and just not being very impressed I figured I would chill my boots, so to speak.

No Cadillac, just a Ford Pick-Up truck.

This is my kind of workplace out of the office, hence the boots.

Never mind your boots, sonny. How much did those jeans cost you? Must be Tesco £5 specials. Just no need...as a female would say. hehe

I know this is O/T, and that you were joking, but how on earth can you tell anything about jeans? My wife is always going on about me getting decent jeans, but I never know what defines 'good'. I hate the fashion and stressed ones, and don't want my arse crack or underwear to be showing. Are there additional criteria?


And, for the record, I don't buy Tesco jeans.
