will send back the one(s) I like least.
Yes trigger pulled used as a tongue in cheek way of saying "bought".
"Trigger pulled". Have you not been reading the cringeworthy thread?
On the loafer/slip-on debate, I too have not been much of a fan of the looks of these shoes. However, I'm finding that since I have had my two kiddies I am constantly in and out of the house dropping them off or collecting them from somewhere. The shoes that are getting by far the most wear are some battered old cheapy Grenson moccasons. It makes a huge difference to literally step out of my house slippers and step into the moccasons and walk out of the door.
I do find it difficult to find slip-ons that don't slip at the heel or crush my toes though. The fit has to be just right to work out ok.

My Barker driving loafers have arrived.
Overall, pretty much just what I was looking for in a driving shoe. I like the fit and the colour. However, there is an annoying squelsh/sticky noise when I walk as the "insole" of one shoe is coming away from the rubber sole. I suspect that soneone else had sent these back after discovering the fault as the outsoles looked slightly grubby and the listing reapeared after being sold out.
I have lifted the insole and added some more glue to try and resolve it. I'll see tomorrow if it has worked.
[OCD] The oldschool yellow Barkers box doesnt match my blue boxes either

Cleverleys are completed so I will be going down on 21st of this month to collect them.
When you look at the difference in the width of the heel to the forefoot, it is hardly surprising I cannot find a RTW last that is perfect.
Why do the welts appear light in that shot?

We have an address, we have a date, all we need is the time.
And some flooring.
Who will bring the carpet (or pixie flooring in FreeLitres case) for the photos?

Just received a pair of Herring Canning Brogues in brown and not 100% sure...
Any recommendations for other brown/dark brown brogues of similar or less cost? Struggling to find anything else I like enough to order!
