Have you sold your sole?

Was on Windsors the other day looking at shoes (very MSE) and my better half thought I was being silly when I spun the shoes round to check every angle. So I thankyou Martin as you have given me the evidence I needed that it is rational behaviour to look at the bottom of shoes.

Well I think they are very funny and maybe you will cheer everybody up. You gave us a giggle. Glad you are so funny and approachable.

Did this guy go on to be a vicar? The guy who married us in 1999 had got married a couple of years before us and told us his best man did this to his shoes.

I know I must be getting really old as I looked at your shoes and thought gosh, they are really ugly!

They really make your feet look so long and pointy, not good in my eyes!! Still, as long as you're happy, keep wearing them!

Thanks for the laugh with the soles, quite funny!

those shoes are pretty dodgy without even looking at the soles.

Nice pension/annuity faux pas on TV this morning by the way. People look at you as the money expert Martin, so if you're going to comment on pensions at least get the basics right. It's no wonder people are so often misinformed.

What a rude man you are. Martin does more to help us all save money & has done for a very long time. I wonder what you do to help people?

Martin, I love those shoes and am sure they livened up parliament a bit I actually think the pic on the soles is quite fitting - seeing as most of them are devils in sheep's clothing LOL

They look great but I would be more worried that your wearing jeans to Parliament?!!

Stick-on soles or a lot of walking, those are your options if you don't want this to be your trademark. In the meantime, don't walk in any soft ground - it'll probably make an impression there too.
