I know this is way old, but I totally agree. Can you even get zip-up jeans anymore? Causes tailbacks in pub toilets on a Friday night.

Has anyone got any advice on shoes and boots? I'd be quite interested to hear recommendations. Do bear in mind I reserve the right to slag them into the ground - I thought those Jamaican patties Stelfox posted on this thread ages ago looked hideous.

I'm going to buy clerks desert boots at some point. These are very nice if you don't mind looking like a reasonably popular* art teacher.

*i.e. you'd very ocassionally get clay thrown at you, but no one would lock you in the kiln.

Well funnily enough, I've got black desert boots on now and have mostly been wearing them the last few months, and I think they're OK. Only negative points are 1) they fuck up in the rain 2) a mate from Leeds said 'they're a bit New Labour' and, horrifically, I understood what he meant.

Cos of me, the rain or New Labour?

If you do get some, for fuck's sake get em in black and get ones with 6 holes - those 2 hole things with the laces done in a bow look like you've just bought a house in Chingford in 1986.

cos of new labour. i'd thought of getting them in some made-up colour like tan or fawn... secretly i think they'll make me look like a member of Blach Uhuru.

Hey it's not often I have anything of value to say in matters sartorial, is it?

I did tell someone off for wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie recently though. But that was because he looked liked he was trying to be in a fascist marching band.

Hess almighty - do you see fascist neo-folk connotations EVERYWHERE? He probably just wanted to look like Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down'

lol. Ive had a pair of these for a year or so.

They're comfy urban walking shoes but slippery on a wet pavement tho'. Old rastas may smile at you. Some youngsters are wearing clarks too but they have to be box fresh and not knackered like mine.

But yeah more shoe recs please. Im due a pair soon.

yeah it's fucking impossible isn't it? the smallest amount of rain and it's like walking on ice. i'm sure passersby must think that i'm incredibly drunk as the slightest shower and i'm stumbling around and falling over.

i'm always tempted to try and score some tread into the soles, perhaps with a heated metal implement of some kind, but the shoes are quite expensive so i always chicken out.
