But has no one noticed that you can personalise these by adding your own socks?? or even wear them without? Were these released on April 1st?

katemiddletonsothermum · 04/03/2016 21:56

Ermmmmm..... you haven't RTFL have you, lem?

GotTheSpornHorn · 04/03/2016 22:04

The perfect shoe for those amongst us who like to be unique.... You will definitely not see anyone else in them.

I think we need a new Mn game - who will be the first Mnetter to see them on a real person!

Lweji · 04/03/2016 22:05

Even those models aren't wearing the shoes!

HortonWho · 04/03/2016 22:09

Well fuck a duck if those shoes don't actually complete these looks.

Thanks for the laughs! Trying out a new name here, hello all.

HortonWho · 04/03/2016 22:11

Toogood. Yes, dear. Of course it is, darling.

Is that what they call hobo chic?

Has someone been reading Mao and Marx?

"inspired by the workers, to inspire the workers. Eight new coats, practical and sculptural, crafted from hardwearing materials and engineered to withstand the changing seasons. Each garment derives from the workwear of a specific trade — an authentic vocation, not the shallow desk jobs of the digital age — marked with the signs of toil in screen-printed rubber and foil. Each piece knows no boundaries of age or gender, available in six sizes to enhance or disguise the individual frame. The materials are redolent of the values of staunch tradespeople: the waxed cotton of the oilrigger; the vulcanised rubber of the industrial labourer; the hardwearing canvas of the mariner and the artist. Unique documentation sewn inside celebrates its provenance, encouraging the wearer to forge a new link in its chain of production: the names of the buyer, the seller, the manufacturer, right back to the designer and the pattern-cutter, are all displayed with justifiable pride."

The too good stuff is all a bit North Korean prison camp chic, isn't it?

That said, I think the PP who suggested that full highland dress was the outfit for the shepherd boots may have been correct. You'll see very fashionable young people in mini kilts and those abominations.

Sorry, here's the outfit to go with them.

SnuffleGruntSnorter · 04/03/2016 22:59

Is that.... Does that outfit come with rope to hang yourself with?

katemiddletonsothermum · 04/03/2016 23:00

Those might be the worst shoes ever, but I think these are the worst slippers ever....

StepAwayFromTheThesaurus · 04/03/2016 23:13

The rat slippers would look lovely with these outfits. Perfect for wearing at home when home is in the sewers, or a park benchmark or under than underpass.

Those are real rats, aren't they? I used to keep rats as pets...

katemiddletonsothermum · 04/03/2016 23:29

I don't think they are real rats. They seem to have an inner lining.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 04/03/2016 23:36

Those look like ex-rats. They have ceased to be. They have toppled off their perch drainpipe.

kelper · 04/03/2016 23:49

They don't come in my size cries
I'm crying at katemiddletons statement that those shoes can't be real rats, the have an inner lining, for some reason thats really tickled me!

DioneTheDiabolist · 04/03/2016 23:57
