Other Footwear

[Madame Buttonfly]

So many fantastic sneakers out there.  We have limited access in UK, and at size 6.5/7 ladies US (37/38 European) am bit frustated at how many lovely styles and colours are out there but too big for a little shortarse like me.

I love Beat's Mill Reefs, have found these in Japan for around US$150 plus shipping.  Is Rakuten the only source?

Am looking at buying some Springcourts, are these OK or naff?

Any suggestions/advice gratefully accepted!

[Beatle]

Springcourts are nice - but PF flyers are even nicer

source for Millreef - yes , Rakuten or proxy

[Madame Buttonfly]

Oooh, thank you!  I'm gonna have some fun choosing some new summer footwear 

These are my TFH sneakers G brought back from Japan couple of years ago, well worn and cleaned yesterday with Dr Bronner's Almond liquid soap!

p.s. Just been told off for not turning pic 180 degrees, sorry - am a novice.

tfh sneaks ? Giles is very good to u…plus - that Bronners did a hell of a job. Get some Millreefs in burgundy - tasty !

[Madame Buttonfly]

I want these badly!  But how do I get hold of them?

You might need to become my sneaker dealer - you can feed my latent addiction and in a few months' time me (and my feet) will be unable to live without you…!

[Beatle]

[Beatle]

Or better yet - get sir giles convinced to bring them over

[Giles]

I'm trying….G

[Beatle]

Cool.

Thanks for the link. Terrible website, though. Even worse than some French sites. And you can't buy those shoes online, unfortunately.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Sorted!  With Beatle's help these are on their way to me…  Now I can start looking at what else I might desperately need want (Giles edit)…

can´t wait for fit pics…btw - what jeans are u wearing right now ? also - I shall wear the green ones when I visit the castle....

[Madame Buttonfly]

Aaah, Beats - embarrassing to admit but my "proper" jeans (THF5100s) don't fit me!  G has been feeding me too well.  I've stopped wearing my old 7forallmankind and Earl jeans because they are more lycra than denim (forgive me, I didn't understand…!)

So am waiting eagerly for my TW3230PI to arrive (currently being hemmed in Japan).  In the meantime, wearing my old TW201s that I've had for about 6-7 years, pre-distressed and now falling apart....

Lookin' good Mrs. G!!! And those FH Chucks look great.

[Madame Buttonfly]

You are too kind, LC!!!

And Beats, I think you are a shoe size above me so you are probably safe wearing your green Millreefs when you visit, but don't be too sure - they might disappear at any time…

[Beatle]

I am gonna have to take that risk *** or I´ll just sleep with my shoes on - u are very sneaky , Lady Buttonfly.
Those TW´s fit u nice - I miss wearing something that feels like sweatpants. Looking forward to more buttonfly waywt editions , esp. when the new pair is on ur back.

[Seul]

Those jeans look great, Paula!..

[Madame Buttonfly]

These jeans are so worn in they're like pajama bottoms.  It's turned bloody cold here, I might just wear them in bed tonight!

Which is where I'm off to now….

Night, night.

[Madame Buttonfly]

My new Mill Reefs arrived today!  Sorry the pics are pretty awful (and I did hike up my grotty old Levis, don't normally wear them this short!)  I am SO happy….
