There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Hey folks,

I need the forums advice on dressing meself!

Ive got a reasonable job, where im constantly in a suit, and it seems like im constantly going to weddings aswell, so its time I got myself some decent shoes, as Next doesnt seem to be cutting it anymore, ie they dont seem to last that long.

Anyone care spec some decent brands, I dont really want to spend much over £70, ive got big feet so i dont want any of the pointy clown shoes, I did have a samuel windsor advert in a newspaper, they looked ok, but are they any good?

Ta for any help!
 
buying shoes when you have big feet is a pain.
for comfort I have a couple of pairs of clarks, they seem more comfortable than any others i find on the high street.
 
lol my dad brought me and my brother a pair of those samuel windsor shoes on a punt as they were reasonably priced if they were (as they say they are) hand made. lasted about 3 months - avoid. i'd get some from m&s if i were you.

They arent that big, size 11, but I find some of the modern cooler shoes for the youngsters :p look silly on me!
 
My last pair from M&S lasted exactly 12 months of Mon-Fri and probably used 3/4 times a month on nights out or other events. Were £50 and held up well.
 
I have a pair of Samuel Windsor.

Best shoes I have ever owned :D

You can tell they are handmade, and once broken in (takes a week or so) they are awesome, hardwearing and very comfy!
 
I got some decent looking shoes from Burtons. I know they aren't exactly haute couture but they fit the bill and are perfect for work as they are fairly smart and don't look out of place when worn with a suit
 
I did pick up a pair from Burton for £20 in the sale, not used them yet but for £20 can't go wrong really, down from £70 iirc.
 
No its not just you, even my mrs says it, they're bloody plimsolls!

I can't stand them personally, reminds me of the poor kids at school who couldn't afford a decent pair of trainers :D

My smart shoes are all Base (of London). Two pairs the same brown and black for smart-casual and nights out. Bought in Schuh (check out their Sale if still on)
One pair of more smarter ones for wearing to formal functions weddings/funerals etc. Bought in Office (I think).

Once broken in they're comfortable enough but for every day wear in the office I've got some Clarks, which really need replacing actually.
