Not sure why, just over the last few days am developing a desire for some.

Not sure if they're in or not but what the heck....anyone seen any nice ones?

You joining A tap dancing troupe?

Pagwatch · 04/03/2013 19:26

Love them. Can't do them as I had them last time they were in. If you did a trend the first time you are too old to do it twice...

I like these

ApplyYourself · 04/03/2013 19:28

Please don't.

Unless you're joining a dance troupe Grin

Those Kurt Geiger ones are beautiful but ideally I could do with some about £60. I'm also worried I'm too old for them now.....

I think they are unspeakably awful...but if they are your heart's desire then go for it. Grin

I'm having second thoughts now.

I suspect white Dr martens would be even worse wouldn't they? Grin

I have never seen a nice pair of white brogues in my life.......ever!

Seen loads of bloody ugly ones though.

I love them.
I remember going to watch a gorgeous boyfriend play cricket for Surrey one summers day. I was wearing a white long skirt, white top and some brogues. He was unspeakably handsome and brought me champagne and strawberries during tea. Then he drove me back to his in a convertible and produced the biggest penis I have ever seen. It was like a soft porn version of The Great Gatsby. Without the tragedy. Or death.

Sounds amazing. Now I'm going to be disappointed if I get some and that doesn't happen to me Pag.

And I'm never going to be able to look at white brogues again without thinking of you and the cricket playing big penis man!

I think he may have been the origin of the saying 'he carried his bat'. Seriously.

I want these Viva, but I already have 2 pairs of brogues and a pair of nude loafers so I don't think I can sneak them past DH!

Clarks have white patent ones.

Oooooooohhhh Dune had some soft soft pale pink ones. No longer available anywhere. They're my ones who got away. I shall never forget them. I SO wish I'd bought them :(

williaminajetfighter · 04/03/2013 20:08

TOAST usually have some nice ones for summer. Wallet will take a hit but great quality. www.toast.co.uk

I've already got some white and tan heeled brogues a bit like the ones in Dune but with a heel.

It's flat white ones I'm hankering after, or was.

Size 40 is too big for me but thanks.

I like the Clarks ones too.

Boden has a nice looking pair.
