Colour of my footware.

Post by Newey »

OK when the heck did it happen, putting on my shoes I noticed that I have many brown coloured ones, brown waterproof ankle boots, brown comfortable shoes, brown slippers, brown snow boots and FFS, even brown trainers what the heck happened to black! of which I have an old pair of black trainers and a pair of black shoes which I had to buy for a wedding probably never to be seen again, I am old.

I've got more blue footware than any other colours.

I'm wearing brown shoes right now though.

I had a pair of electric blue slip-on, suede moccasins. I would wear them with shorts and summer shirt, looking cool and elegant, but with an air of underlying mystery. 8-)

Mrs. Gremlin threw them away when I wasn't looking coz she said I looked a twat. :cry:

1 blue flipflops.
1 black moto boots (as old as time).

I was going to say 'FFS I must be a girl' but I bet my missus easily has 3x that.

Most of mine are black. No surprise there, virtually all my clothing is black.

Three exceptions, a pair of grey boots as they were the cheapest on Ebay in my size, a pair of red Converse for indoor wear and a pair of white wellies.

I'm sure about the bad luck and tables connection but all shoes will squeak until they've been paid for.

Mrs D has more than 20 pairs of running shoes alone, but most of them were free TBF. :D

My daily brown boots (Loake) alongside blue suede Barbour boots. Just checked my wardrobe and have 3 other pairs of Loake shoes - dark brown, mid brown and tan :D May be a pair of black in there somewhere too but they are for funerals only.

My old favourite shoes were my pink and grey suede Vans boots :thumbup: I wore through the soles and they don't make em any more.

I'll have to dig out the custom Converse I got for my honeymoon (Mrs D has a complementary pair somewhere) one day.

I have rather too many shoes and boots to really start itemizing them in colours

A pair of grey walking boots.
A pair of brown Altberg boots.
A pair of brown DXR bike/casual boots.
A pair of black Daytona proper bike boots.

I do own some shoes,but outside of the odd necessary occasion I wear boots all year round.

Brown is probably the dominant colour here too.
