FS: shoes for the larger footed gentleman (2 pairs, £40 each)

Snags

These are basically unworn.

A long time ago (14 years?) I flirted with the idea of becoming an adult, and wearing smart casual shoes and clothes.  However, I have freakish feet - long and narrow - and it proved impossible to find anyone who made casual 'proper' shoes.

In desperation I ended up dropping a bunch of money on these as they were the closest I could find.  But they weren't close enough, and even with heel grips and fat socks I just walked out of the damn things.

Since then, they've sat in their boxes, in the cupboard, gathering dust. Literally.

Looks like the laces have rotted a bit on the brown ones, but the leather and soles all appear fine, and have had zero wear (think I managed 100 yards down the road in the brown ones before saying "Sod it", heading home and putting Docs back on).

£40 a pair collected/dropped off within range of Hertford or a jam session I'm attending.  Anyone wants to take a punt on distance purchase, postage on top.

Unfortunately, too small for my size 14's!

Snags

Curses!   At this rate they'll be going to the largest homeless person I can find (which won't be so bad, but they're in short supply around here, which I guess is a good thing).

Calling all big foots - next stop the charity shop ...

RNLI may appreciate the donation of new boats

I’ll ask my wife if she needs any formal shoes.

Would you trade for some hardly worn underwear?

Snags

Ho ho ho

There must be some big footed guitarist who occasionally needs to look halfway smart. Surely?

robwright

No one has asked the obvious question - or is that just for ‘big hands’ ........? 

Snags

No complaints from your [wife] | [girlfriend] | [mother] | [daughter]* delete as applicable etc.

You didn't include my preferred gender. What a bigot.

Snags

If your preferred gender isn't covered by that list, then whilst I fully support your life choices and identities, I would not voluntary be putting someone of that gender in way of being able to answer the "big hands/big feet" conundrum, as a matter of my own personal orientation and preference.

Now buy the bloody shoes already.

How much for just one of the brown ones?

Snags

I'm open to offers ...

Can't wait for these to go. You can change the thread title to: SOLED!

I'll give you £50 if I can throw one pair at you whilst you wear a taffeta ball gown and square dancing to the tune of electric boogaloo played on an electric kazoo.

How much are tickets to attend? 

Snags

@octatonic Deal. But you have to supply the kazoo and kazoo player, and at a location convenient to me.

@kittyfrisk tickets are £5 each, which also qualifies you for entry to a raffle to win a pair of shoes.

Kittyfrisk

Bargain. I'll see if I can organise a coach trip 

Kittyfrisk

Just processed the statement 
'@octatonic Deal. But you have to supply the kazoo and kazoo player, and at a location convenient to me.'

Which indicates... you already have the taffeta ball gown? 

Snags

Let's just say I can source one.
