Jeffrey~West shoes
Anyone got a pair?
Any good? Worth the money? I've seen some I quite like but want to know if they're worth it, or if I'm just as well getting some Clarks ;) Almost bought some Tim Little's a while back but eventually baulked at the near £300.... Any other premium brand I should be looking at? Ta. :) |

I got some Fred West shoes - seems to have something buried in the heels
:D |
Most of my shoes are Jeffrey West. I love 'em.
If I had one criticism it is that the soles are not quite as hard wearing as a Church or Grenson, and I would never put stick-a-soles on a pair of Jeffrey West. Resoling is an eye watering £90. Having said all of that the uppers wear very well and they are unique in their mode. I have a goatskin pair - they look fabulously distressed and yet are super hard wearing at the same time. Other shoes I wear are Oliver Sweeney - which I do like and only cost £60 for factory repair - Church and Grenson. Although the latter seems to have lost its way for me. |

I realised after I'd posted. :rolleyes: ;) |
Big fan of Oliver Sweeney - comfy from the first time they're worn and very distinct styling.
... also bought a pair of Paul Smith shoes the other week and they're like slippers (in terms of comfort!) :thumb: |

well okay -- but Trout -- very dissapointed tbh:-)
He's old. :thumb: Looked at Church's and wasn't overly impressed with the designs. Paul Smith - find them uncomfy. (got a couple of pairs) I know I'll end up back at Tim Little with the credit card..... |

Thanks Les, I've just had a look - I'm only just 41 years old, so a little young for those... :nono:
:) You are getting on a bit to be on this forum aren't you? Les http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/cool.gif |
Majority of my shoes and boots are Church's

Nothing looks worse on anyone than a pair of scruffy shoes.
Salesmen who try and sell me something get nowhere wearing dirty shoes. I don't mind Mr Byrite but please, wear some nice shoes. :) |
Do those expensive ones have the labels on the outside?

You know - this post made you rise up in my estimation - much to my surprise. Don't worry though - I am sure you will slide back any time soon ;) |
Get yourself some male UGG's Trout!

Les In fact, if looked after, I'd go as far as to say they could last you a lifetime. Anyway, just been into Flannels in Notts and they haven't got many shoes in at the moment. (although they did have some 'Gaydar' Dolce & Gabbana ones.. :nono: ) I'm certainly not going to buy any via mail order so I'll just have to wait for my weekend away in Manchester/London next month. :) |
