Shoes

I need a decent pair of shoes that are durable (last a long time) and cheap.

I am guessing those 2 points dont go together!

I buy cheap shoes. Very cheap! Max £30. Never bought shoes more than that. I know, mad!

My shoes only tend to last a few months, surprise surprise! Not.

Budget is always an issue. I only got one pair of shoes of which, i use for everything. Work etc etc.

I would like Dr Martin shoes but loathed to pay £130 for a pair. But, i know that that would be more economical in the long run.

Money is very very tight guys.

Are there shoes available that are like DM's but cheaper? Durable? If so, which ones and where to buy them?

I know you will say splash out and spend some serious money but i really have to budget.

If i had to spend £120 i guess i would as long as the shoes are durable and comfortable.

I dont do a lot of walking in my job. Its not an industrial job.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Keep an eye out for sales on the clarks website... I got a nice £90 pair of work/formal shoes reduced to £40...bargain.
 
I am a bit tight so these were the last pair I bought, without using the V word I wanted non leather, they look surprisingly good tbh

what about something like this, £65 down from £130

or this, £60 down from £120


Basicaly DM's and should last a good few years of daily wear if you keep them polished. Clarks shoes do last if you look after them, unlike the £40 fake leather tat you see in TKMAXX all the time.

Thanks. I have looked at the Clarks reduced shoes. I may order as pair.
 
Hush Puppies for me



Intersting shout.. i'm quite tempted by these...


 


Seems to be in Sale. Never tired the brand
Solovair used to manufacture Dr Martens before they went to Thailand. They are exceptional shoes. Very well made.
