Was it these?

I use to have a pair of them!! It was like walking on paper because the soles were so thin!!! I think the "ankle protector" was different from what i remember.

Anyone else have a pair of Monkey Boots?

What about Reebok Pump basketball trainers where you could pump a button on the front and they would get tighter (if only women had one of these hey )

Who else had to wear 'daps' for PE? (or 'games' as it was also known back then!)

That was back in the day when top trumps and micro machines were all the rage!!

Oxblood docs, white polo, and......City of Plymouth Council donkey jacket. They were the ones with the leather style patch over the back of the shoulders, in this case with City of Plymouth on it. The type that street sweepers used to wear! We aimed high job wise in those days!
