"My all-time favourite is still my penny-loafers from Barkers - even though they changed the hide from a natural to a plastic "high-shine" finish (picture below). And I'm quite fond of my Rockport machine-washable suede loafers…"

"Well Doc Marten used to only produce the soles for other manufacturers to fit to their boots and shoes. The Regent sho company (I think) in Nottingahm in my mind made the best boots and shoes with Doc Marten soles - I've a black pair still…"

"I tried to buy a pair of new Calrk's and maybe my feet have changed but they not only didn't fit in any way at all but were decidedly nasty - old age?"

"Andy Williams - music to watch girls by , absolute killer !!!"

"the classic gola"

"At last i've got them , these gola trainers, the gola brand was very big in the 70s , i had a pair of football boots but never got round to buying a pair of these until now , my only pair of trainers, right up there with the adidas samba !!!"

"I've never liked desert boots, always favoured brogues, oxfords and Milano cuban heel jobs."

"No chance to get my big shovel hands in there, Phil, lol!"

"ah yes.. Samba, i see! I like them in black and yellow! Lol. If these shoes were yours, they would only cover your hands... That makes me remember the german word: "Handshuhe"! ;D"

"They´re Adidas Samba, Phil, I have 2 more pairs of them, one black/white and one sand suede with red stripes. All bought new, though. Also missing in the pic are my favourite pair of summer shoes, light suede "Camper" ones:Not too…"

"Nice collection Kai! You really needed these Chelsea boots! Really good looking! And i also like your Adidas VERY MUCH!!!! What is the exact name for these? Are they vintage ones or "new vintage" collection?"

"Here are my current ones:"

"...Or Douglas Bader."

"i like those baracuta loafers with the tartan lining !"

"Alright unless you're Jake the Pegg of course."

"Oxblood Doctor Martens or beige or black Desert Boots."
