    Not all students had long hair in 1969, as I am sure MoM will testify. Cambridge 1969. Has the lad on the left got a shaved in parting?

    I don't know. Perhaps I need to go back for another look? They were actually in the shop window, so I didn't like to handle them too much, especially as I knew they were too small for me, being size 9s. I did notice they have "dotty" soles like I've seen on football trainers used on AstroTurf...
