That leather looks beautiful quality
Overpriced snake oil. £160 per litre equivalent! Nothing is going to stop wear and tear on leather soles when you walk on concrete pavements.
My advice is find some fine gravel to walk/rub on and...
I no longer consider extending my soles as no matter how much I like the shoes when they arrive, I get bored of them and move on, long before the leather sole turns paper thin.
Can we see a foot shot? I would be interested to see them as worn in real life rather than a photo advert.
I find almost all manufacturers come up very large.
I am a size 8 in a NIke and Addidas, a size 7 in Loake and Sweeney (maybe even a 6.5) and a size 6 in wide G fitting Grensons.
I always size...
Anyone a size 8 and want Goodyear welted tan leather brogue boots?
Doesn’t look like you can go far wrong here for £80, and reviews are good.

My Oliver Sweeney Carnforths arrived today. Superb quality and a significant step up from the equivalent pair of Grenson G-Two shoes I have. Slightly dressier than the Wrens.
...
Picked up a pair of the Carnforths.
Accent Clothing were flogging their last pair and the happened to be size 7. All for £112.
Sometimes it pays to have titchy feet.
Think they are an F.
Free delivery and returns by the look of it just in case.
If you are a 10.5 or 11, the shoe version is a billy bargain too.

You won be disappointed. Here's my pair ageing nicely.

These are worth £119 of anyones money.
The pair I bought a few years ago where made in Italy, but notice they have moved production to India.
That said, you get calf leather outer, calf...
If you like a wedge sole version, Grenson Fred and Archie are half price in the John Lewis sale.
Fred £163

Usually I would be on that like a terrier down a rabbit hole, but as with most folk I have got nice brogues coming out of my ears, and I haven’t worn a single pair since 16th March 2020.
This thread should be entitled which brogues are you not wearing.
I haven’t worn any of my 7 pairs since March.
Too big for me.
At that price a no brainer. Good purchase.
Fred’s are very nice, but they are from Grensons G2 collection made in India.
For £300 I’d rather stretch the budget and get a pair Made in England. Or give it a few weeks and the sales will be on...
Very big. Size down.
I have girls feet and buy size 7 Loakes and an 8 in Nike.
If it’s a Grenson wide G fit (e.g. Archie) I’m a size 6.
That doesn’t surprise me, as the girl who works with me, and is only 5’2”, has larger feet than me.
Size 8 in Nike’s, size 7 in Loakes, if that helps.
Snap - I have the same two pair of boots from Debs. I remember they were heavily discounted. I like, and wear both pairs.
Debenhams?
From one of your previous heads up, I picked up a pair of Loake Chester’s with dainite sole for £100 from Colleen & Clare a couple of years ago - they are ageing nicely thanks.
I’m a UK size 7,...
