Sounds like a big gun, but talks like a silly bugger. My maker John would disagree with that. He says a machine stitched shoe is a medium term shoe and that hand welted is a lifetime shoe if looked after. Machnine stitched shoes can limit shoe life, and this sucks if a nice shoe fits and is an old mate. That bugger needs to check ebay, then he will come across shoes with gemming failure. Just because you can hand make a shoe doesn't mean you aren't full of crap and deluded when it comes to footwear, the proof is above. Nubs..the two of `em.

btw, l would need more time for filming. Next time.

If they start bullshitting i'll string the bastards up mate. Sales people always bullshit.

I think this is an incredibly common thing. Well highlighted by you. A tip of the hat.

Messy I agree but Red Steve's shoes are the real gem. I don't think I could even bring myself to wear them for cleaning the car. Its pure gold on there though. Just fantastic how deluded these poor souls are. I don't think their helped by telling each other how smart they look. I'm sure the cats that tell them that don't post pictures are really taking the piss. Well, I hope so.

I clearly don't get around the boards as much as I used to .. but who on earth is this Alan character? He looks like a typical English bloke .. cheap shoes, uncoordinated outfits, badly fitting clothes .. sartorially lacking but ordinary nonetheless. I suspect however he is a poster on the boards, but why is he then posting pictures of himself if he clearly doesn't give a toss about style? Or perhaps he does and this is a weird ironic twist on what ordinary blokes wear in modern britain? Am I missing something here?
