mjs_mjs Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) What are you wearing on your feet? Just thought it would be interesting to know what other people wear on their feet. Edited May 10, 2011 by plexer misplaced e
tech_guy Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Dr. Martens leather steel toe-caps shoes. Brilliant bit of footwear.
Pete10141748 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Big heavy work boots with steel toecaps and thick rubber soles. I hate small, lightweight shoes, I always seem to wear through them quickly and break the laces all the time, plus I like my shoes to come a bit farther up the ankle than most 'smart shoes' do. Plus the toecaps come in hand when moving heavy equipment, I'm sure they've saved me a broken toe a few times over the last couple of years!
webman Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Regular shoes from Clarks. Never once dropped anything on my feet *touch wood!*
featured_spectre Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Generally trainers (due to swellings on my feet), but if work needs to be done (such as cabling or otherwise manually intensive) then I wear steel toe cap boots.
BenABF Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 brown sandels and white socks, its gonna be big this year.
Edu-IT Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 brown sandels and white socks, its gonna be big this year. I must jump on that fashion bandwagon!
elsiegee40 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 brown sandels and white socks, its gonna be big this year. I had hoped that fashion for IT staff had disappeared by now!
gibbo_ap Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 shoes although they are not polished and are rather holey
beaches511 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 boots, ex royal mail boots to be precise. I wore through 3 pairs of proper shoes in a year
korifugi Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Boots, good solid ones you can bounce equipment/tools/doors/children off
CAM Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Are we talking at home, lazing round the house or right this very minute?
Andrew_C Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I've ticked polished shoes, but have just taken them off, and "socks" isn't an option. Used to buy Clarks but they all died within the year, so I splashed a bit more cash on something a bit nicer, and so far, better wearing 18 months ago. They have been soled and heeled, but basically still sound. If doing lots of lifting of big stuff, or spending time in the workshops, I do have a cheap pair of toe-cap trainers under the desk.
john Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I used to wear smart black shoes all the time at work, but then I found in the M&S Sale just before BETT a REALLY nice pair of smart black boots, these are not your Doc Martins type but ones that you can wear with a suit and looks fine and I've had them ever since BETT and they are great and the most comfy footwear I've had in years! I do still have a pair of smart shoes but have not even worn them in that much yet as the boots are winning now When doing more heavy duty work its either trainers or Timberland Safety Boots
TechMonkey Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Currently shabby, capped boots past their prime. Looking at getting some new ones. Never got on with shoes, always found they rubbed my ankles and twisted my ankles in them. Get nice boots and most can't tell the difference if you keep them shined.
elsiegee40 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 3 inch heels..... I wouldn't dare... I'd fall off them... and if I wore them that would make me about 6'2"; I'm tall enough already! My work shoes are a pair of comfy black leather M&S footglove shoes that I can wear all day in total comfort. Not very glamourous, but in a school with as many hills and stairs as ours, very necessary!
mjs_mjs Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Are we talking at home, lazing round the house or right this very minute? I was mainly thinking at work
Rawns Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I get through polished shoes so bloody quickly, I now walk to work in trainers and leave my shoes under my desk.
speckytecky Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Sandals, and socks of course! P.S. Am I the only one who spells them this way - must be my dyslexia?
mjs_mjs Posted May 11, 2011 Author Posted May 11, 2011 Sandals, and socks of course! P.S. Am I the only one who spells them this way - must be my dyslexia? I'm dyslexic too and spell is sandels... cos it's like handels... also i pronounce it san-dels.
elsiegee40 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Sandals, and socks of course! P.S. Am I the only one who spells them this way - must be my dyslexia? You are perfectly correct @specktecky;
