Puffer Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Whilst passing through my local Topshop on Saturday, I noticed these 'March' sock boots on display. They are listed online as available either in black leather or tan suede, 4" heel, price £69.00. However, the sizes only go up to 42 (a generous 8, I believe) - so no good to me! (And in tan, all but 41 and 42 shown as sold-out.) I think these would be good for male street-heeling as, even if on show, they are quite discreetly styled in a 'masculine' way. Topshop has some other boots that may be worth a look - but most of the current shoe offerings are imho rather too quirky for male wear, many having oddly-shaped heels and embellishments. (Perhaps the shoe range is designed by, and intended to co-ordinate with, 'Sir' Philip Green's beautiful and charismatic daughter?)

FastFreddy2 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Just so you know, that 'cuban' style heel is immensely popular this Autumn/Winter. I would agree they are good for male street wearing. I was tempted but I already have an earlier version, though I might prefer these .... The ones I own have a wider, more masculine look to them. You are right about the 42/8 being generous, which isn't always the case with Topshop. I find a Topshop 41 is waaay too small, so don't always expect a 42 to fit. In many styles from other brands, I get into a 41?? Edited September 12, 2018 by FastFreddy2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer Posted December 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 If anyone's interested, I see that the Topshop 'March' boots (as above) are now on offer at only £30.00, although larger sizes apparently sold-out online. Some shop branches will still have them though; there is a 'search' facility. The heel on the UK8 is 3.75" Topshop has a number of other boots that would be good for male street-heeling, some of which are also discounted at present. There are some new styles too, notably this 'Howdie' Western boot in black or tan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Philip Green wasn't on my sh*t list (actually appears twice), I might be very tempted to chase a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see today that ASOS has discounted several of its items even further. The Espresso wide-fit boots, for example (in real suede leather and of good quality) are only £15.00! All sizes up to 10UK (Eu 44). Well worth considering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fair much better with slimmer styles that keep my foot where it should be. Wider-fit styles have my feet moving around in the shoe too much, making me feel 'unsafe'.
