freds dad Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’ve been looking for some new shoes and instead of buying the off shelf stuff I thought I’d have a search for a shoe maker and came across these https://lanxshoes.com Anyone bought from them and if so are they any good. They’ve go a couple of shops so if the WW gentry give it the thumbs up Imay go and have a look. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I've not bought any, but I havce been looking at getting some of these for work: Men's Leather Sneakers & Trainers | Casual Footwear – LANX (lanxshoes.com) Ideally though, you should crack on and buy some, and let me know if they're any good before I splash out 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what size you are then you can try them on to see how they fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I looked at them the soles were glued on, which made me look elsewhere. Looks like they've upped their game and are now Goodyear welted, as a proper English gentlemen's shoes should be.

Mounts Kipper Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If you buy loakes make sure it’s the British made version, they do some made in India, look similar but nowhere near as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
