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.

Thanks Les, I've just had a look - I'm only just 41 years old, so a little young for those... :nono:
:)

do you guys mean Jeffery West?

Yeah yeah yeah...

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:-)

anyway while we are at it

my shoe profile is below


Dress = Church's

Business = Loake

Smart casual = Sebago Loafers

Yatching = Sebago docksides

Leisure = Birkenstock

Running = Asics

Gardening = Dunlops

Beach = Havaianas

To be expected.
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.....

funny -- that's what his missus said to me as well;-)

I guess i alway knew this place was inhabited by dodgy old farts :o


, i suspect Lewis is in fact the whipper snapper

lol Maybe if you do your yoting in the clubhouse ;)



for the rest of us its anything with a bit of grip and some taylor woodrow overalls to keep the weather out :thumb:

Sorry but PMSL :lol1:

Do you have a pair for EVERY occasion or what :confused:
Do you have a select make that you like to wear when walking into the bedroom, and then another for when the deed is done :lol1:

I never knew footwear could be soooooo departmentalized :cuckoo:

I take it you mean - yachting? :p
:)

Of course if you want some proper shoes try John Lobb

They do a very smart pair of slip ons for a tenner! Why pay more?

You are getting on a bit to be on this forum aren't you?

Majority of my shoes and boots are Church's

bollox!!!

Am I the only one whose Gaydar has gone to Defcon 3 over this thread ?

Having nice shoes does not necessarily make you gay, bending over to buff said shoes and letting your b/f ram his throbbing member up your poop shoot is more of an indication - imho that is;)

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?

This comment is so far away from insight it is unreal - I cannot think of a gay man on the planet who would wear any of the shoes mentioned on this thread.


Actually - maybe the Birkenstocks ;)

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, I totally understand where you're coming from (or going to..), but these 'expensive' shoes really are quality, generally hand made in the UK, and you won't end up buying a new pair every year.

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. :)
