Gothic shoe company - playboy chukkas

Anybody tried these? Made in UK. Shop in Romford. Half the price of Sanders :-

And a 10th the quality, a cheap shoe made with cheap materials cashing in on the style of a luxury item. Blackmans had 13 pairs of Sanders in this this week for £69 and they are being sold at a profit - I can only imaging how much these cost to make but it's one hell of a mark up on the materials.

Hmm, think you might be right. Tempted to give them a try, though.

Yeah, must say I agree, especially as I have size 11s. Have a day off, so might venture down and report back.

Re: Gothic shoe company - playboy chukkas

The stone and grey were on the Sno last (round), the other were Joel (pointy).

My first 4 pairs were £24 from them and the next 2 were £40, Phil gives me discount because I send folk his way haha. Their prices have increase at the same time as the retail price has.

Handy for me as I only live down the road.

It says Joel inside my navy ones. I thought they were standard.

I wonder what the sno ones look like....

He's proper cockney fella, they are all like that, there's a touch of 'Deliverance' about them!!!

Rarely see a hipster crowd down there, it's more the people who know they sell good shoes and tourists who they rip remorselessly for not speaking good english.

Ha, nope - not me he was calling them that when I bought my first pair 4 or 5 years ago, this is the only time I have seen him put in on a sign.

Forgot to report back: didn't have my size 11 in, but the pointier-toe doesn't work for me, sadly.
