    Definitely not the bottom one. Top one very similar again but not exact. :D

    Sole was same colour as shoe (I think).

    Conversation with OH.

    I wore them for the soul discos we used to go to.

    He's not old enough to have done the same. :rotfl:

    Now I'm reminiscing, I need to find the right ones to show him.

    I'm very sad. :D

    I know the sort you mean. Kickers made some similar ones, but I don't know their names. They were worn by a lot of indie kids too, before it progressed to grunge and everyone wore army boots.

    Wallaby's I think.

    LOL this thread reminded me of these!! I had a pair of purple ones and thought I was sooooo cool, I loved them!!

    I can't see the bottom pics....but I think they were Nature Treks.

    That sounds very familiar to me.

    Maybe the ones I had, had different coloured soles/laces.




    Edit: It's coming back to me....they definitely were Nature Treks.

    Happy days.

    Thank you all so much for helping. :D:beer:

    I can rest at peace now.

    Taken from a NS forum,
    Bass Wejuns, my old deputy head master used to wear them, the sadistic old b**tard, all the kids used to call them cornish pasty shoes,

    Also mention Frank Wright Loafers, And Polyveldts.

    Oooh that made me think of my suede palladiums from Dolcis! I loved those shoes. They were so comfortable!
