MTB shoes :
- Something cheap I bought at Décathlon 5 years ago.
City shoes :
- A pair of black Doc Martens 1.4.60, got them late 2000, still use them at times. They're worn out though.
- I buy my shoes at some French shop, I doubt "André" shoes are world famous. So I've two pair of those, a worn out one, and another with a sharp end, more or less the kind of shoes I could wear with a suit. The first one needs a replacement, as soon as I'll have some time I'll take care of that.
- A pair of cheap worn out slippers. 
I doubt I have anything other shoes I use.

Bored at work. Nothing to do. For some reason I decided to add information to the wikipedia articles on the 1990s Vueltas. Don't ask me why.
Yawn.

And was still so clearly bored, decided to tell us about it.
Yay. With added sarcasm.  |

You can never know for sure. I bought a pair of shoes from a small British retailer, Box-Clothing, a couple of days ago. Internet retail/shopping has never been easier  |

I've never been too keen on buying shoes from distance, with various international sizes, etc. and moving sizes, you can't really be sure without trying.
My shoe size here is usually around 43, but depending from brands and where I buy from, it might go from 42 to 46 (9 or 8.5 to 10.5 US/UK sizes, I reckon).
Only hoes I buy from distance is what I could hardly get in local shops (cycling/running shoes mostly).
For shoes : "unless you try them, you can't be sure to be comfortable in them".
Same more or less goes for clothing in general. |

This thread has taken a weird turn.
So here's my shoes then:
My road running shoes:
- Nike Zoom Vomero's: bit heavier than I used to go for, but more cushioned because I run longer distances nowadays. Not this exact colour.
https://www.shoezo...AIIOHA.jpg
My cross-country shoes:
- Inov 8 Mudclaws: Incredible shoes, I've worn them in mud, snow, ice, rain etc and never ever slipped. Plus their light too. Literally made up places in muddy cross country races just because I've worn these
https://www.compar...-ino13.jpg
My normal shows:
- Except not actually converse all-stars. Just a cheap imitation that cost £5.
https://www.polyvo...id=2737160
And with buying shoes: my size varies from UK 9.5 to 11.5. I generally always buy my shoes online and just guess at the right size from that range. Somehow I've yet to buy a pair that don't fit perfectly

Ironically ... I agree.
I don't really care much about shoes, but I stumbled upon an awesome looking pair that I wanted. Only problem is that I have a limit on what I want to spend on certain products - and this pair was way above what I've ever paid for a pair of shoes.
... so I found a British shop instead. 1 pair of shoes in Denmark equaled 3 pair of shoes in the British shop (with delivery!), so that was a no-brainer even if I'm unsure about the shoe size. I'll just have to try them and send them back if they do not fit. |

I did, but the EU shoe size is different from UK. I don't think there's any problems, but we'll see. |

"Innocent until proven guilty", Montolivo told you. There are no things such as suspect-something. |

That's very suspicious.
Does it have "suspicious"?
If so, that's even more suspicious
