I need some new footwear awimb.

[Pat Vegas]

Obviously I have normal smart shoes, and trainers.

I need something in between. perhaps some sort of boots.

Not something overly clunky.

[The Jorge]

The chukka boot is your friend.

I think this guy invented them.

I am not sure. Some of them make you look like a grown up child :hide:

Though to be honest I always wanted a pair of cowboy boots. :hide:

Best worn with shorts, cracking stuff

UGG boots. I swear by mine. Got the fluffy slippers too. Very nice. Cheeky.

I got these for safari. Best boots I ever owned, that's for damned sure.

You can pull it off in the US I reckon.

I am tempted to go to Texas just to stroll around wearing a cowboy hat.

Superb.

I'm a shower flip-flops man, when in the tropics.

[Ash]

I think you might look good in these.

He's already got work shoes, he said.

[Sir C]

Superb.

Yes, but I'd look silly in a safari suit and pith helmet beating my porters wearing flip-flops, wouldn't I?

One must maintain the look of the thing, if you follow me.

[Pat Vegas]

Sort of thing sodd would wear.

I've change this image in my mind to that of a cross dresser.

[redgunamo]

Right. Of course, different matter entirely if one a tourist.

As you wish.

[The Jorge]

Would you do me?

I'd do me

Good choice, though not for walking about in, imo. Very good if you're spending time in the saddle.

I always wear Brashers for my hiking. I went to purchase some for my girlfriend the other day and, to my horror, found that they have merged with Berghaus.

Also, are you a safari full kit ****er?

Desert boots, sorted.

[SWv2]

Desert boots, sorted.

Desert boots are great for the more formal occasion, work meetings for example.

For casual I picked up a nice pair of Adidas Rivea last week. Oh yes.

Aren't you a bit..well...old to be wearing plimsolls, sw?

Disagree. They're the casual smart shoe. You look slicker in a more casual situation, or cooler in a more formal situation.

They look alright. A bit beige.

Awful. Shocking.

Are you not worried you might not get confused for a lesbian?

Perhaps he's off to PE, or needs to be ready at any moment to go for a run?

That's what I assume when I see someone wearing sportswear.

You appear confused, these are not running shoes.

I don’t run, in that sense.

I didn't really want to say anything but that's how I feel about things like your Altbergs, as if the chap wants you to think he's just arrived in Bulawayo, or wherever, with Delta Force :-\

[Sir C]

I don’t run, in that sense.

I am confused, because I've looked them up, and they're trainers.

Do you wear tracksuits as leisure wear, sw?

[Pat Vegas]

After some long thought.
I have the leather jacket i might as well get some biker boots.

[Sir C]

The Altberg is the pragmatist's choice for walking in the bush, r.

Shoes being used for the task for which they were designed, you see?

I have been known to in my more youthful past but it would be many years now since I last did. There would indeed be an old Adidas one hung up (or folded away) somewhere in the house if I needed to get my hands on it.

The strict doctrines to which you appear to apply relative to clothing for use reflects badly on you and simply suggests you to be narrow minded.

I can’t say I am surprised.

Au contraire,sw, I am extremely broadminded vis-z-vis matters sartorial.

On Sundays I often dispense with my weskit and tie and don a fetching cravate; on holiday I will go so far as to wear a 'linen' suit, although the 'linen' is a linen and cashmere mix which avoids the worst creasing.

[redgunamo]

Of course, but the moreso that is, the less it must look like it. See? I wouldn't last five minutes.

Which would be nothing new, I suppose.

A waistcoat you say.

What is your highest break?

Perhaps you could add to your assumptions the possibility that their schedule might include transporting themselves about on their own feet, therefore not using up space on roads or trains, not depleting limited reserves of oil and so on.

I walk across London regularly, a, wearing honest to goodness Church's brogues as God intended. One does not require plimsolls to walk.
