'Oss dealer boots

Chelsea boots dear boy, Chelsea boots!

Falco casual bike boots, for riding, dog walking



Older Stylemartin bike boots,wear them for everything.Bit scruffy now mind.



Skechers for nipping to the shops, walking the dogs when its dry. Wore a pair out in 4 months of lockdown last year. I like then as they weight nothing and you dont needto lace them up.



Suede boots used to used for pub and work so haven't been worn in a year.



Mahabis outdoor slippers. got them for xmas a couple of years ago. they're aces

More back ups have arrived!

For your kids?

Well my Son takes a 10 and my daughter a 6 and as these are an 11, its a no from me!

Has anyone else noticed shoe sizing is pretty random?

For years I've been a 9.5,but the last walking boots I bought needed to be be a 10.5.

A full size up? Surely to feck my plates aren't still growing at 65 y/o....

I laugh when I see the Adidas Five Ten site.

"Please buy 1 size bigger than usual"

Why the fuck label them incorrectly then? Why not label them 1 size differently?

Then there is the perceived wisdom when buying Keis heated clothing. Go two sizes down from your usual fitting....

The wisdom is on the ball too!

Smart black oxfords for funerals/weddings/services.

Camel Active for casual wear, Nike trainers for lounging around and Merrell sandals for home.

Barefoot is ace if beach etc... but not Brighton!

for some reason Adidas have always made shoes that are "small". You would have thought the if it is the one thing the shoe department do, that they could get it right!

New sandals day!

Well they arrived and fit nicely. Happy.

My go to when i was working were Merrell Moab Goretex. Used to get through a pair every 18 months or so once the soles wore out. Joys of walking miles everyday waiting for someone to do something i could record and nick them for I still wear them for walking any sort of distance as they are the most comfortable boots i have ever owned and when training with the bikes i swap to them for work on the pad then back to Alpinestars for riding as i wore out a set of soles on the bike boots in 6 months walking about on the training pad :doh



Casual use are Adidas VS Pace like these ones



Most of the time around home i live in shorts and cheapo flip flops

Broke my sliders. They're from NEXT but are the best ones i've worn, really comfy, so I just ordered another pair.

Giving these a try,



Something a bit different to my usual Vans or Converse boots, should arrive later this week.

I like them and they'd be ideal for in the winter but they're a bit pricey and unavailable here. Turkish slippers are shite and I usually wear moccasins around the house but they have no sole so are rarely worn outside.
