A poor man's humble beginnings... - Shellshock - 11-11-08

I've been in two minds as to whether I should bother posting this but in for a penny...
So, here's my collection so far. All shoes have been sought and bought from shops, no armchair shopping for me (although that's about to change!) Unfortunately, there's no mad rarities or super-exclusives The average cost of a shoe in my collection is £22 and none cost above £50. I've grouped them by colour, not by style or shape, for these pictures.

First up, some daily beaters. Some of these are a fair few years old now, especially the white/snakeskin pair. The ones with the camo laces have actually got the Gucci style embossed Trefoils on them but it'c not visible in the pic.

Next is all the black/blue Soops. Since joining this site I've come to realise my Stars Vins are fakes, bloody good ones but I'm sure they're fakes! Got them off a geezer on a market stall in Nottingham in the summer Oh well, you live and you learn!

Some brown Soops

My colourful Soops

All the Soops together

Soops Anti-Theft Device. Name's Murphy and he's 15 moths old.


I hope I've done it all correctly and you can actually see the pics, I know computers like your mum knows Kung-fu!

Dude, my mums a ninja!

This is a fine collection you have mate, nothing to be embarrased about at all. Bad news about thestar vins, but as you say, live and learn!
Nice to see some proper lacing with good fat laces as well.
Keep up the good work.

Vary nice showing there. Not too humble at all. Welcome to the addiction, get your fix regular like and you will be ok. . The fake stars is a real bummer, but as they say here on the forum "fake it till you make it". Or words to that effect.
