Could be worse I change the colour of my laces depending on what wearing!

I have to agee about the laces.

I always do mine in a normal parralel fashion (I'm sure it will have a name)

That to me looks like you try too hard.

Nice shoes though.

We have a 'crossover' range!
Church's now doing trainers: Mirfield.
A snip at £220.
Nice trainers (but not at that price). Have they ever been to Mirfield though? I would guess not.

The wife told me to get some new casual shoes for our upcoming holiday to Cyprus.

As usual I made lots of excuses as to why I had not got around to going out to buy some.

So imagine my surprise when she came home yesterday and presented me with these very smart moccasins from Gant:-



She also bought me some very nice bright coloured Polo shirts also from the Gant store too!

What a lucky boy I am to have such a great wife! Thanks Mrs P!

In other news, using the correct colour polish makes a huge difference.
These Cheaney's are about two years old, seen plenty of wear and been back to the factory once to be resoled. I'd been using a light tan polish and while they looked clean and shiny they were gradually getting lighter. The other day I found some chestnut cream and the difference is remarkable - back to original colour. cool

Why would any shoe manufacturer make shoes with offset lace holes. I can only assume it's just to be different, but it looks plain stupid.

Shame, a decent pair of shoes totally ruined.

Is there no topic upon which you can comment without appearing a complete moron?

Back to the UK fir a funeral and so three days wearing my new Loake Thirsks. They pinch a bit on the toes on the left foot. Now it is years since I had shoes of this quality; so how do I alleviate the tight areas? I seem to remember some special "trees" that would be used in my youth. I don't think I'll be wearing them for a bit now summer is here so I have plenty of time to ease the leather before autumn. All help appreciated!

Had my gait analysed as I want to take my running and fitness more seriously. They didn't have the blue in stock in my size. So I went for these. Nice fit and quite light.

What did the analysis tell you? under/over pronater?

Neutral. So went through some trainers and liked these. Wondered if I should have gone the Gel Nimbus.

These arrived yesterday too, wanted these a while ago and everywhere was out of my size, then saw them on Very of all places and with £20 odd off too.

Those trainers are tragic, but I do like the moccasins.
