Slip-on shoes.

Abominations? The last refuge of paedophiles, tax-dodgers and women? Or legitimate footwear?

Beyond Blundstones, I'm strictly a lace-up man.

Also feel free to comment on those pink-shirted dandies who wear shoes with the squared-off toe that clearly extends two and a half inches beyond the end of their foot.

I feel like I have something to add, but I don't know what.

I'm not a paedophile, tax-dodger nor woman and I love a good slip-on.

In Jones Bootmakers (the slip-on nirvana) I found a magnificent pair during the summer sales. They look just like the ones you get a split-second sight of on an accelerator pedal during the opening credits of 'The Sweeney'.

Lovely.

"We're the Sweeney, and we haven't had any breakfast. So get your trousers on, sonny, you're nicked!"

Marvellous. Do real coppers tell people they're "nicked" anymore?

No, and people in real life don't wear slip-ons either.

Heh.

I wear lace-ups but I never do the laces up.
Does that count?

Do you leave the laces dragging along the ground, or do you have the loosely-tied fat guy setup?

Worst things for your feet apparently. Leave your toes like crow's claws in old age.

I did fancy a pair of these before they were all over the place

I love my Royal Elastics trainers. Do they count as slip-ons?

I love penny loafers, and I guess they would be a pretty good shoe for a guy as well. Hmmm. I wonder what it would be like to go out with a guy with the same kind of shoe as me. Maybe I'm looking for a guy who would be like my fraternal twin, only not my relative, of course.

Slippers, I'm all for them. And plimsols. In fact, I'd prefer any slip-on shoe to one with a velcro fastening.

The only time velcro should be on a shoe is if you're under 8 or over 80.

Laces are a bloody nuisance, unless I double tie them mine always come undone and then to take off my shoes I have to pick away at the double knot to untie them again. So it's comfy stylish Cole- Hahns for me.

And what's up with those sneakers that come with laces ten yards long? You could string up a washing line with them.

[hobbes]

Slip-on shoes.

I just lace them how I want, cut the ends off then stuff the rest into the shoe.
Bows look horrible, especially on trainers (which are what I wear 90% of the time.)

Or if you have a mint pair of Rifts.

Or if you have a boss pair of Cole-Hahn's. Oops, sorry, was that spam?

Well, given the absence of other shoe-related threads, this seems a good a place as any...

For fuck's sake. That's the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm actually furious at this.

[Crusoe]

The Darth Vader ones are so much worse. And as for the other pair...well, the less said the better.

[Femme Folle]

Slip-on shoes.

Maybe they're meant for 4-6 year olds with very large feet.

[Crusoe]

These aren't the trainers you're looking for. Move along.

I had a nan bread that looked like the millennium falcon the other day.

Reed really liked them. What say you, EIM?

I've seen them before. There were some Kermit the Frog ones as well. I think by posting the picture you knew what reaction you were going to get.

It looks like an orthopedic shoe for geeks.
