ALL shoes that cross into this thread are cunty shoes.
With C, I only want for three watches; a Tudor P01, ZRC Grands Fonds and a Heuer Bund. All three would require something in the order of a decade of supermarket shoes each (two for the Heuer). It’s not worth it. D is entirely valid.
I am surprised at how emphatically cunty shoe B has won this to be honest but it looks like it will be the one that is selected first (it has to be said that black with colour versions of something appear from Adidas every year but I don’t recall ever seeing a Hamburg that colour so it’s probably the sensible pick).
B for the colour
Probably cheaper these days to use real fish
Green. Always green
I think I bought mine in 2015, still going strong.
These are by far the most practical, lightweight, comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. Recently took delivery and have walked many miles in them already. Lightweight, like a running shoe, but Goretex and sturdy grip for bashing up and down the South Downs National Park.
I’m considering buying a second pair and just keeping them for when these ones eventually die.
Why goretex though? Don’t get it on low ankle shoes, if your feet get wet it’s probably to above ankle depth anyway and will get inside the shoe. Goretex is rubbish at removing moisture from the inside, hence everyone gets sweaty feet in them.
Reality for normies is the wettest they’ll get is wading through dew-soaked grass.
Sam walks around puddles in her wellies - every single time…
Further cunty shoe updates. These arrived this morning. A pair of BNIB 2019 Beckenbauer Allrounds in brown. My favourite trainer/colourway combo of the last decade;
They are- as best as I can work out- the last unsold pair of size 11s in the UK- I had to go a loooong way into Google to find them (and I when I did, the site owner assumed it was a mistake and they were long gone). Sadly, there wasn’t another pair to put into reserve. It means I can honourably retire the first pair though.
Wouldn’t want those wellies wet now!
I sometimes wonder if I should start some sort of shoenazi Instagram account. Pictures of people with the wrong shoes or just any shoes that aren’t zero drop, have goretex, go above ankle height, excessive padding etc etc. So many things about people’s shoe choices annoy me.
Also people wearing gaiters to walk up a rocky hill, people who use sticks for no reason, too much kit, waterproof jackets and trousers in anything but driving rain, rucksacks full to the brim to walk 5 miles on the South Downs way, people who don’t stick to paths, people who stop and sit down in fields just because they have a footpath through them, people who walk slower than me… breath and stop. I’m getting all angry just thinking about it all 
Brown trainers?
Do. It. It would probably be very popular, even attract corporate sponsors, you fucking sell-out WHORE! 
I’ve yet to find walking boots that work 100%, Alt-Berg are the best I’ve had so far, and a part-worn set of army-issue boots the best of those, but their sizes are small. Plus I’m old, fat, have feet like flippers, and have to squeeze-in inserts to prevent plantar fasciitis. I sprain my ankles easily, too, so ankle boots are a go for me.
No, I am not going walking round here with glorified socks on my feet. They use demolition rubble to make all the access tracks - glass, steel reinforcing rods, broken tiles, nails, screws… Plus the mud is knee deep for a couple of months every year. Fuck that.
Nothing wrong with THOSE eyes eh!
Yes, brown trainers. A very versatile footwear colour brown, be you after a cunty smart shoe or a cunty loafing about shoe. Goes with a lot of things.
Sounds like around here, except we have a better class of hardcore because down south
Plantar fasciitis is pretty common in the running world and most of the people that suffer it have shoes with a massive drop (heel higher than toes) and loads of padding. Barefoot ftw!!!
That and balance exercises on things like Freo boards
But hey I’m such a zealot on minimalist footwear if you had said you suffered from varicocele I would probably still try and find an article on curing it with minimalist footwear.
I think the PF came from a spell of doing fuckall walking then getting dogs and suddenly doing 5-10 miles a day while morbidly obese. The inserts keep it completely at bay. Having seen the state of the feet of people who’ve spent their lifetime without shoes, my guess is that it’s healthier while you’re young, but that age fucks with you in different ways.
These are very lightweight. No sweat so far.
I intend to play golf in these too, as Sodders says, wading through wet grass and the occasional puddle is as much as I need to worry about. I’m not climbing in the Alps, I’m walking along the South Downs Way.
On that note, on Sunday at Petworth park we saw a woman in full Goretex, trousers and Coat, goretex Gators over goretex boots. Walking sticks. Large Berghaus day pack… She probably had £800 worth of extreme clobber on, for a park you can walk all the way round in just over an hour. 
It’s like the polar opposite of the photo I saw of an older woman on Snowdon in thick snow / ice who was wearing a regular town coat and carrying an umbrella
All the gear, no idea.
This is the way
