I bought these a while back, they really are lovely boots and receive a lot of compliments.
Do you polish or dry clean those?

Where from? I like them a lot, would go well with my tweed jackets for work.

You need to have a word with yourself.

If you wear those with tweed you will look hideous and like you are trying too hard.

tweed shoes, tweed suit, tweed shirt, maybe a tweed deerstalker... tweed pipe, tweed gloves and tweed-lensed glasses... tweed umbrella and tweed briefcase. Overdoing it? No way. Real Lord of the Manor.

I saw the first two snaps and thought you were going to cremate them.

They will look just as good in 50 years (probably better) and will be very easy to pair with most things.

Excellent choice.

New to this thread and working my way through the older posts. Some lovely stuff!
On a rather prosaic note, I googled the code in my utterly knackered work shoes and found they are Barker Lutons. Discontinued by Barker, but available new from Charles Clinkard at £130. The order went in this afternoon.

I also bought a new pair of Loakes from the Manchester store a few weeks ago. They don’t feel as high quality as I’d expect for £180, but I think prices have moved on in the last couple of years.
I now walk about 3.5 miles a day commuting in my work shoes so the poor Barkers have had a hammering. Would higher priced stuff be more comfortable for such use?

Go on, I feel quite certain that you must adorn your feet with something that the collective would be able to heap some not unreasonable scorn upon.

It takes a thick skin to post a photo of your pedi P&Js here.

Show us what you're made of man! biggrin

You had me hooked to start with, right up to where it turns out they're purple.
