Just got these Sonneti 'Malfoy' [below] prior to xmas....
There's definitely a touch of the
Slitherin about them, which I kind of like. [£20 paid]
I chucked some fluffy insoles in them and talk about
comfortable...

But on a more serious note..THESE [below] were also purchased shortly after. The shop guy only had a
size 9 [which was actually the size I wanted] but I told him I was a
size 10 and that I would only take the 9's if I could get a reduction....since I'd have to spend a bit of time wearing and stretching them in. [£55 initially asked....£45 paid]
The colour is a little bit 'Ci-teh' but given the way they've been playing lately, I can live with that....Ultimately, they're
sambas and that trumps all other considerations.
[The additional white laces included bring the best out in them IMHO]

Which brings me neatly to my Xmas [January Sales] trainer fund which was boosted to £70 this morning thanks to the assorted generosity of family and friends who stashed loot in their cards.
I'm thinking Red....and I'm also thinking Green....
I'm wondering whether or not to split the fund and try and haggle for TWO more pairs....or whether to commit the entire sum to ONE badass pair.
But all of this
decision making is the fun of it all I guess.
