If we are going to have a shoe porn topic, may we have a handbag porn topic and after that some sports car porn please. Have to cover the whole spectrum you know.

In that case a wooden sailing boat porn section would be more than wholly justified.

I'm so tempted

Mrs N has just bought a book which made me think of Grace :-)

The lady on the front looks very like her too   (Grace that is)

[Gracie]

Yes Howard I can see where you're coming from regarding the similarity but I would never wear THAT shade of lipstick

Alan, at least I've got hair  

Grace

[NorfolkNog]

I really can't pass this shop without thinking of our lovely Grace 

[Gracie]

Honestly Howard, people will start talking and telling us to get a room

Seriously, you are so sweet, thank you

Not exactly my cup of tea though, I prefer Louboutin but sadly what I prefer and what I get are two completely different things

Mrs N has just been looking at some designer shoes in TK Max - fifty quid and that's reduced!

You've reminded me that I do need some more shoes as I'm down to one pair that I can wear for work over the winter! Sensible flat black shoes that I can walk in!! 

[Gracie]

I only have one pair of shoes and they are worn out. I can't bring myself to look for some new ones 

In fairness I do have 4 pairs of running shoes, but they are purely for, well you know, running

My good shoes finally gave up the ghost two years ago. To celebrate my first paycheck from a 'proper job', as in salaried, I bought a tailormade suit and a pair of handmade shoes. The suit...what can I say? I went from a 32" waist to a 38" one. Why on earth would I want to spend time and money in a gym to gain six tiny muscles in the stomach, when I can have ONE BIG ONE!

The shoes, however, have lasted just over twenty years. When I first took them to our local cobbler to be reheeled and soled he refused to take payment as it was a 'privilege to be allowed to work on them' and has never asked for money since. I'm not talking cheap tat like Louboutin here! We are talking a pair of chisel toed George Cleverley's that set me back a grand and a half in the early 1990's.

Can anyone imagine Uncle Albert's reaction, when he found out, to me spending that amount of money on shoes? But now in the past two years, I've worked out just how much money I saved by buying those shoes. I go through shoes at a fast rate of knots because of the way I walk and the amount of walking I do. In a year I go through six pairs of Clarke's shoes and two pairs of safety boots.  On average that's £740 a year on footwear. So over twenty years that's £14,800 compared to my Cleverley's at £1500? Cleverley's...smart in more ways than one!

I can only wear flat shoes. Have never, and never will, wear heels! If I could live in trainers that would suit me fine ... and actually, come to think of it, you never see slippers with stiletto heels ... so I rest my case. 

[MauriceMynah]

My shoes are on their last legs too. :)

Ah you see...I was informed by my better half that Louboutin's are designed and made as 'bedroom' wear. I did offer to buy her some...she said no!

[grendel]

surely heels like that would puncture the water bed.

If any of you think getting shoes is easy, try getting them in size 14, choice - well they might have a pair. I do have a couple of posh pairs - oxfords and brogues - straight from India, very well made shoes too at a reasonable price, other than that its trainers. I did get some czech army baseball boots. last time I found a whole bundle of shoes in my size, I bought all the ones they had - 6 pairs, when a pair wears out I get a new pair from my stash. my nephew on the other hand takes size 16. when he was in the army he had special permission to wear trainers on parade as it took nearly 3 months to get his boots built - uppers from italy soles from america, built by the army outfitters in London.

[Chelsea14Ian]

Last time we went to Bluewater. I noticed they now have Jimmy two shoes.

[Wyndham]

Well this is as good a place as any to tell this story, except it's not a story, it happened

The ever fragrant Mrs W and I were having a wander in the home of the newly crowned champions of county cricket  ( take that Yorkies ) and she blurts out.......... "I think I have a heel fetish"........ My heart beat raise....... turns out she was referring  to the state of the lady in front of us who had paid no attention to foot care since birth, dirty crusty heels, she said. Is she a tad oversensitive?

They were horrible though.

After my last sailing week we were on our way home and took a break at a new 'retail park' about 20 mins from home. I wanted to ditch the trainers I had finally rendered as too scruffy that week, so we pottered about looking for replacements.

Whether it was post holiday madness or not I don't know but I ended up with a secret wish fulfilled....bright red Converse All Stars. Phill kindly bought them for me and they cheer me up no end.

Everyone needs a pair of converse, the brighter the better!  Good choice
