I could just go in and buy a pair without even trying them on. Perfect shoe shopping for a bloke.
But the last pair that I got absolutely hurt like hell. I did a bit of research to see if I could find out what was different about them from the previous time that I bought a pair and found out that they are now being made in China. To add insult to injury the price has not gone down at all.
I suppose it is just possible that I happened to get a bad pair, but I won't be getting any again to find out.

That shop there.
They sell Dr. Martens and British-made Dr. Marten-alikes (slightly more expensive).
Nice shop.Comment

I still think a pair of beige hush puppies take some beating. Or will get you some beatings.

Loake seems to be the winner then.
Sebago is a similar one - $ 100 in the US but over £ 100 in the UKComment
