Smooth Operator 10 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Anyone wear them, you know the shoes with the fancy pattern on the front around the toe bit of the shoe, a good pair can cost £100 +. Looking for a new pair of shoes and these look decent of the shelves but can never imagine myself wearing a pair as I've always associated them with old men. But they seem to be in fashion more and more nowadays, almost too in fashion though like those daft haircuts I imagine J69 to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Not a fan personally. Loakes ones are pretty good quality though I think. I've had a pair of their loafers and they were very well made etc. Edited October 3, 2007 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 The other thing stopping me getting them is a mate of mine got a pair and we renamed them benders brogues, basically cos he dared to wear something different, so it would look hugely hypocritical to get them now.

manc-mag 1 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 One need look no further than Gemmill to realise just how bad a pair of brogues can make you look. I honestly thought he was having a nervous breakdown. Start of a slippery slope to manbagdom as it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to Rocports! Speaking of which my mate bought a pair of Rocksports once. 10 years later and if we're very very remiss, we very occasionally forget to remind him about it.

Lazarus 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ive got a pair of brogues in the softest leather ive ever known. However - i dont think ive worn then in at least 4 or 5 years. I see them as a very, very formal shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost smell his brogues in his posts tbh I wouldn't go any further than Patrick Cox's when it comes to shoes/boots, at least you know what your getting. Like slippers my last ones. SMO I could see you in a pair of Ox blood Dealers, be canny for kicking your lass in the flaps when she works herself as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
