My first "serious" shoes, for a given value of "serious".


Was it for a bet?

Oh yes, the patina. Allow me to point it out to you with the power of photoshop.

Even from the limited perspective of a noob, I would say Those can be styled. They're single pointed, and a power play, but pick the outfit, the occasion, the play, You go, boy! P

£20 is not too bad. I'm sure others have done worse.

That said, the only time I will be pimping those is if the snake had attacked me so I can make an example out of it and have a cool story to tell.

That reminds me, when I was 18 I went longlining in the Barents sea for the summer holidays. Two days into what would be a seven week stint a large wolf-fish ripped a huge chunk off my steel toe wellingtons. After the initial shock (those fish got TEETH) I stamped it to death, filetet it, and brought it home with me. It was delicious.

Yes, one of those. I was terrified.

True story.
