I'm thinking of going out at lunchtime and buying a pair of desert boots.

[Burney]

What say you, AWIMB?*

Here's what you want, imo. They're like wearing mink-lined kid gloves on your feets :cloud9:

[IUFG]

are you going to a desert, b?

[Pokster]

What say you, AWIMB?*


*sw needn't answer - his love of the desert boot is well known

Why? Will you ever need to wear them?

[SWv2]

No man will silence me.

Clarks are your only job here, I have two pairs to allow me to drift between casual, smart casual and indeed smart.

You misunderstand, dear heart. I do not seek boots in which to cross a fùcking desert, merely a pair of louche, suedey efforts in which to creep around in a sinister fashion.

Will the tories try to dictate the size of your desert boots. :cooper:

The thing that worries me is how flat the soles look, sw. Is there enough arch support? I walk quite a lot.

[Sir C]

Oh yes, I have some of those as well. Russell and Bromley is your friend, here.

[Burney]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, a. They've been infected with socialism. :puke:

[Burney]

I've just looked on there and now the siren song of the Chelsea boot is luring me. :-(

Why must everything be so hard?

[Sir C]

Pardon my butting in, but these have changed my life. Get them from Boots, cut to fit, walk and run with renewed vigour, comfort and functioning knees and ankles :cloud9:

308

They're called orthotics.

[Sir C]

Bear in mind that with winter approaching, the desert boot will suffer terribly from splashing.

Perhaps I might suggest the Chelsea boot now, with the desert boot to follow in spring?

I've just realised we're discussing arch supports. :-(

When did we get this fùcking old? :cry:

Those do look good, though. :thumbup:

Fair shout. Was just thinking that suede may not be the mot juste for a wet winter.

Seriously, consider the state of my knees some 5 years ago. Now see me running each morning, bounding up fells like a goat, and so on. It's all down to the arch supports.

[SWv2]

Do you think the 60s Mods were concerned with so called arch support???

You sound like a ****ing fanny.

If you want to cut a dash around the streets of Enfield and Ware then take my advice ensuring at all times to have with you the mandatory ****ty stick.

If however “arch support” is your thing then look below and think is that really what you want in life.

I remember being out with you once and your knee locked completely. We were in Hornchurch, I think. It looked quite hurty.

I'll bet those self-same mods now wish they'd taken better care of their arches.

There is a danger you might end up looking like one of those blokes who dress like a boy. It's hard to explain.

There are some folks in this office who dress a certain way. Desert boots, jeans, check shirt. they look like man boys. Like when you see kids dressed up. I always think Jamie Oliver is guilty of this.

[Sir C]

Now you've got me worried. I am currently wearing a blue Jaeger formal shirt, boot cut jeans and a pair of light brown Timberland moccasin-looking things. Do I fall into this category? :-(

[Burney]

Ooh, she looks like she's a martyr to her bunions, poor cow.

I wear shorts most of the time :-\

Are you incredibly well groomed and baby faced?

[Burney]

Good heavens! In front of other humans?

[Burney]

Are you incredibly well groomed and baby faced?

No. I've had a haircut and shaved, but no-one has ever accused me of being over-groomed.

And I've more wrinkles than a cowboy's nutsack.

[Pat Vegas]

Careful. You'll have Monty following you around.

You'll be fine then. I should change my style really I've been wearing the same sort of **** for years. I love a t-shirt (not the ghastly ones I used to wear)

[Viva Prat Vegas]

I do not like Paul Nicholas

[Burney]

I find these days it's a constant battle not to dress purely for comfort. It's tempting, but that way lies the slip-on loafer, the elasticated trouser and the resigned acceptance of onrushing death.

[redgunamo]

Careful. You'll have Monty following you around.

loooooooooooooooooool. :-|

[redgunamo]

Good heavens! In front of other humans?

Sure. People don't go on about my legs, so why not.
