@m4xime for what it’s worth, I wear my 1955s more than my 888s…

@Walery-Smirnoff Last of the Summer Wine, Shameless and Rab C Nesbit will probably give you a better representation of what Britain is like.. one to YouTube when you have some time, ha!

@Mizmazzle I’m one of the few that likes to wear an insole in their 8 last boots so I buy as per my brannock sizing. I picked up a pair of blacksmiths in R&T copper.
With regards to the 8138, I bought an pair around 15 years ago and in all honesty, I ended up selling them a couple of years ago because I think the traction tread is awful. I was wearing through two soles a year!
Granted I didn’t have much by way of a rotation back then.

RE: Vans
@Mizmazzle these are a UK 11, funny story but all my trainers/sneakers are 11. Measured up in a brannock for a pair of red wings about a year ago and I’m actually a 10.. seems I’ve been wearing shoes all my adult life a size too big.. I do have a crazy high arch so some shoes 10, some 11 depending on the width. I could probably get away with a 10.5 in these.

@long_john86
I head in a couple of times every week as I still work there, however Leeds is probably that bit closer to me now. I’m pretty much in between the two, my family and mates are all still over the Manchester side.I ended up in Yorkshire having got in to cycling in a big way around lock down and I lived in Saddleworth at the time. I’ve lived in Bolton, Didsbury, Chorlton, Uppermill over the last 15 years.. then bought a house in Yorkshire! Money seems to go a lot further this side of the Pennines for houses, and more cow sh-t, less people.

RE: Vans
Another favourite pair are my OG Vault colab with Nigel Cabourn. 50/50 Indigo dyed herringbone and denim vamp. Like breaking in a pair of iron rangers.

Of all the recent/new releases, the mid MTE Destruct is a solid fave of mine. So comfortable and particularly awesome for winter.
Here are mine right now, complete with crocking.

@T4920 a pair of the 14oz 888s in double indigo was my first item.
The 1955 cut is probably my favourite though; was lucky enough to snag a pair when they restocked a couple of weeks ago.
In that time I’ve picked up a few shirts and overshirts.
