Patent Docs

[Toiler On The Sea]

Thanks for the replies....
I think at under £20 i just need to buy them!!

Just don't wear them down the front at any gigs

Too right. I still have some some very strange stains on mine from SBE. (or are you talking about crushing toes??)

Which venue do you go to gigs at

I wear 'Industrial' Doc shoes as a rule and they even get a bit wrecked @ gigs

Hi claire i used to make shoes (balroom dancing ones) and a lot of them where from patent leather i would say they do take longer to soften but a hairdryer does a good job of it and it also takes the creases out of the leather

Wow, now that is impressive John !!!!!
Tip of the year award..



Definately going for them !!

...and a spray of blue window cleaner helps stretch them! A tip I learned from an old Portuguese shoemaker!

I've got industrial ones too (my local little boutique were selling them and I like to support local independent businesses you understand) ! They're bloody brilliant (and also the strangely stained ones). I'm 5 ft nine without shoes and DMs add that little bit extra which is always a bonus...

I've noticed the last couple of times I've seen the band that JJ is no longer wearing the 8-hole Docs he favoured in the 70's. I'm fairly sure he's now wearing these:-

Pretty hard core footwear. I believe Baz is wearing the same ones-I wonder why the change? A bit anal I know, but such things intrigue me.

Both JJ and Baz wore their new docs for the first time when they played Exeter Riverside Leisure Centre back in June 2007. I can remember thinking at the time how good it looked to see the pair of them back in docs.

Now where's that anorak of mine....

Yes, that's where I noticed them. Perhaps there was somewhere in Exeter doing a good deal on them?

Seen it. Done it. They arrived today. Very comfy and didn't let me down on the slippy-as-f*ck pavements. Bloody ice.

Didn't get the patent Docs after all, but just got a pair of new Steelys from e-bay for £6.50.....

And very nice they look too.....

I am at this very moment de-squeaking and breaking-in my brand spanking new 10 hole Docs. Lovely
