Thought we could do with a shoes/boot thread, as don't often see much discussion about them. At the moment im looking for some but nothing has really caught my eye. Anyone seen anything nice recently?

you're not as cool as you think you are so please give details of the items you post

Worth a mention are the apc crepe sole derbys on me porter and the end (cheaper on the end). Come in navy and brown, the guy in the shop was wearing the navy and they looked really nice. Colour is more like on porter kinda greeny.

edit: they're also on tres

I can put my finger on why, but those OL derbys look fantastic.

Doomed do they fit pretty wide mate? I had the the grain derbys last season and had to back them as they were a huge fitting!

fit a little big mate, I got 11's and they fit like 11.5 but thats perfect for me. I had the derbys they had on sale in January and had to take them back though, these dont fit as big.

I put a bit of dubbin on my leather desert boots and it's darkened them. Is there any way I can reverse that?

These might be the best option for that price point.
