    What shoes?

    Hi guys,

    I need a new pair of work shoes... I need to wear a suit to work so that kind of shoe is required..

    Now I work about 12 hours a day roughly and am on my feet alot, and I keep breaking shoes as they wear out so quickly...

    I have gone through a £120 pound set of Poste shoes in about 2 months...

    So I want your recommendations on a top quality pair of shoes.. no ted baker/base or any of that ****e I would like a proper shoe that will last...

    Any ideas? ( budget is irrelevant) must be black and laced also...

    Can I suggest that you need a large brogue up the arse?

    Go to a shop. Look at shoes. Buy some. Even my brother in law can do it.

    Re: What shoes?

    I spend about 10h a day on my feet at work and I just have some George shoes (asda) Very smart looking and really really comfy, even ok to drive in as well. Apart from my Adidas trainers most of my stuff is George.

    Shoes are a personal thing though. No matter what one person recommends, you may not like them

    Clarkes, Jones the Bootmaker, have a couple of pairs of Patric Cox, very comfy. But then so are a pair of black square toe boots I got from Brantano for £20.

    Re: What shoes?

    I spent £6 (well, £5.40 with Student Discount) on a pair of work shoes from a local budget shoe shop for summer - did the job ;-)

    Although if you wanted to go more upmarket you could go to poundies....

    Re: What shoes?

    Agent: I know exactly what you mean, but I mean if there is one company that make shoes well and they last then it should be accross the board.

    Sim.. yes I have been on Patrick cox, website so Il look further into them.. Now although im not going to not buy a set of shoes due to price, I think that the qaulity of a pair of shoes sub £30 quid is going to be questionable, after having numerous pairs of base London shoes in my old job where appearance was irrelevant I found like you say they are very comfy, but they break and wear to quck, and they were around £70.

    Cheers for the replys..




    Clunk do yourself a favour ffs, you just post constant crap.

    I like shoes from M&S, although they might wear out too quickly as well...

    Dr Martens are usually comfy if you are on your feet all day, though they are no longer made in the UK :/.
