  You can get zip inserts for laced boots also - for full 90s emo nostalgia points...

  I agree - would love to do a Six Nations tour of the stadiums. (kids and bank balance say no)

  Shame Italy don't still play at the Flaminio. Being in the middle of town was ace. Mind you, the Olympic stadium saved my bacon once, being completely lost during a university tour in Rome with no wallet and no idea where we 'home' was, I had to retrace my steps back to where we were staying and the Stadio Olympico was one the landmark on my way back that let me work out where I was - arrived back just in time for breakfast and didn't get fined... (also thank god for Italian public transport not checking tickets!)

  Been weird over the past couple of weekends with no games (Edit- that I can watch - can't get Pro14).

  Seem to be cheaper here, unless there’s a catch...

  Does this mean I need to buy a golf bat and plus fours now?

  Loake

  Have already got some brogues of theirs and have a many-years-old trashed pair of dress shoes somewhere. Didn’t consider them as an everyday option (brogue boots and chelseas are a bit showy/dressy for me). Will have a look + check the last details also, as the ones I have fit nicely.

  I am pretty hard on shoes. I guess I just harked back to the DMs I basically lived in for a few years. They were pretty tough and comfy. If the modern ones are comparative trash, I’ll try elsewhere (I am drawn to Solovair, as suggested).

  I guess you have to decide whether UK made is worth the bump up

  Yeah, I suppose this is about the size of it. Ta.

  Solovair?

  Definitely considered (hankered after some of their monkey boots a while back actually). But for nearly 2x the spend, I wondered are they worth it?

  Wish I'd been quicker with the Mr Porter sale, as they had some there.

  Looking for some everyday brown (actually, just not black - oxblood would be nice too) boots... DM Pascals for a ton? Worth it?

  Slightly put off by not being able to resole - or at least being led to believe it's a pain to do so (is this a falacy?). Not had DMs for a couple of decades. But they used to fit nicely after breaking in. No idea why I stopped?
