Thanks for the tips on both fronts, will take a look...and good point about the capacity of the cabinet....many shoe racks are woefully undersized/too narrow.

You are absolutely right, most shoe racks / cabinets are far to shallow for men's shoes.
32mm is about the minimum depth for men's shoes (size 10ish). I am 'normally' a 9.5.
There is a bit of room to spare in that cabinet, even for JW's long pointy things.
Though to be fair I find with Jeffery West shoes I go down a half / full size or more.
On the other hand, I have a pair of C&J that are 10.5 and again, room to spare.

As always YMMV so, measure your own shoes before purchase. Their measurements are accurate.
As for the cabinet itself; it seems sturdy and of reasonable quality. Ikea equivalent or better.
Beautiful? No. But functional and not an eyesore.

32mm??

Three PHers +2 others previously confirmed. The more the marrier (probably )

I guess I am wondering if there will be enough to fill 7-odd hours - obviously one can exit in the search for sustenance and then return a short while later, but London would be a PITA if it was only for a couple of hours! lol

I suppose I could, you know, actually speak to people... but let's not go crazy

Favoured watering hole (with excellent food) and three cigar shops all within a short walking distance from the event venue.
All the major shoe shops ditto with most being on Jermyn St. should the event inspire anyone to spend on new foot wrappings.

Oh, cool, thank you - although my wallet might disagree

Any suggestions for summer shoes to wear with smarter shorts.

I usually just wear trainers etc but fancy a bit of variety this year!

Loafers?

All the big brands have a wide selection at this time of year.

Never owned a pair of Sebago but they look reasonable quality/style when I've looked at them.

Thanks both.

They look like they would fit the bill.
