I missed the boat on these SONRA but I think I am over the brand since I still have a few pairs unworn.



I guess I am just becoming more subdued in my shouty shoes. These days LP, Zegna and Crown Northampton (when they finally arrive) seem more my cup of tea.

Speaking of Crown Northampton, SWMBO has ordered me a mystery pair for xmas, she was happy she had done a good job until delivery stated end of Q1 biglaugh

Something to match the new watch straps?


She'll just have to get something to tide you over in between ....

I have just bought some flower mountain x barbour. they are probably more of a walking shoe than a trainer (a hybrid of the two perhaps) but they are very well put together and very comfortable.
will definitely get a pair of trainers from them next time.

Also got them from yard store - good service and their shop in Manchester is excellent.

Bringing together winter boots and sneakers, I love my Nike Lunar Duckboot for when it's too slushy for leather boots. They look good too.

Completely forgot I have a pair of these NiB! Thinking about it I have some redwings too!

Moving house soon, I really should have a clear out… Could be a lot of size 10s available soon

I googled and found an all red/burgundy pair which looked great. Current season are dull as dull can be.

Just got these for the OH’s Xmas stocking. She was gutted that the silver samba she ordered weren’t shiny enough so sent them back.



I was going to order a pair of something else for myself but when I changed SNS delivery to UK the size option disappeared. So now need to order from one of the euro sites annoyingly.

I'll join the queue - my son is that size and 15yrs old so goes through shoes every few months...

He can help out with dog walking (no chatting) - you can throw in the flight to the new home biggrin

They look brilliant in the green but I see that the Baroque Brown/Army Olive/Gum colourway is from as far back as 2017!

This reminded me that I bought some Redwings and haven't even worn them. Must have been the shock!
It's up there in the most expensive shoes I have bought .... and being in Scotland very regional appropriate!

Must get out more!!

Have worn these which were an Xmas gift from 'er indoors

Yeah I'm hoping they release another colour way this winter. I've nearly picked them up a few times but I have a beige pair of Timberland (and a dark brown pair) so want something different.

Sold out on SONRA days ago, just received email from diadora that they’ll be available directly
