New dog walking shoes. Bargain in Black Friday sales from Selfridges online.

I use Selfridges a lot as for a yearly fee of 75quid I get unlimited international shipping. Selfridges also remove the VAT at checkout and the country I live in doesn't charge import tax until an item is 135quid and above.

Surely you have a man / woman / undefined to do that for you biglaugh

Nice restrained choice in shoes - from all I've heard they are supremely comfortable.

I know your comment was tongue in cheek and technically I do have 2 maids that could do the task.

However...

If I let the maids take the hound for a walk then he doesn't get far as they end up stopping to gossip with the other maids in my village.

It was tongue in cheek and I'm glad you took it that way.

Taking the hound out is a good opp to test out the flex the new trainers.
Just don't stop for idle chit chat.

I love the combination of brown and pink, totally my thing, but not entirely convinced the green works.

agree, pink heel panel with brown laces would be ideal, same colour combo as (my favourite) adidas cords.

I guess a customizer could sort that, if only they’d have sold them in my size.

The blue velour ones I have sold out everywhere very quickly so it’s not like I’m not the only velour fetishist either.

Very. They've got pretty much all the latest Vans tech.

Just over £100 from Schuh. Usually £170.

Look good and comfortable, however, do you only get one years wear out of them?

I have vivobarefoot boots, 6 years in they needed a resole (£80), otherwise perfect.

Not picked anything up for a while but couldn't resist these. The box they come in is amazing as well and almost worth the price of the sneakers (I haven't got a pic though right now)

Just picked up some flower mountain x Barbour

They are less trainer like than I thought but still pretty pleased with them





Also got some Hoka Bondi 8s and they feel like some cost cutting has gone on since my last pair
