Decent shoes

[Summerbuzz]

I thought I needed proper boots and shoes, so I bought some.. turns out, despite being a decent fit, they were fucking up my oversized, slightly misshapen, newly over-40 y/o feet.

M&S are alright, extremely durable and suitable for walking, though you should add insoles. Anything else I've tried, if it looks smart, is uncomfortable and seemingly pretty likely to lead to club foot. I've gone for one pair of practical M&S weatherproof boots, a semi-smart pair of suede trainers, and multiple pairs of comfortable trainers. God knows what I'd do if I needed an office job.

Russell and Bromey used to make a nice shoe, they had a shop in Salisbury I'd buy them from when I worked down there

Did you visit the cathedral?

In my pomp I thought I'd made it when I bought pair of monk brogues from John Lobb of St James - they had solid silver side buckles. I was wearing them when I got the boot from my London employers for missing weekend assignments to watch City.

Have a look at Pikolinos. Some of the mens styles are a bit naff, but they do brogues and oxfords with a twist. They are also the lightest, comfiest, smartish shoes you will ever own.
