Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 As the gender fluid fad grows and grips the country with its insanity, it strikes me that in order not to discriminate against those born with more or fewer than two legs (with or without feet) shoes should be sold singly. Likewise trousers and any other bifurcated or dual items of apparel. Golfers already buy their gloves singly; perhaps they're in the vanguard of political correctness! Quote

pistonbroke Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Pal of mine has odd feet , seriously one foot is size 9 t'other size 7 , he has to buy 2 pairs of the same shoe in different sizes and bin the unwanted pair Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 There are shops and online suppliers of single shoes for monopods or unidexters such as Mr Spigot, so your chum should be able to get an unmatched pair from them. A woman I worked with some years ago had funny feet and used to go into London for a shop called (I think) Lefties. Sadly she was in her seventies in the 1980s so is unlikely to be able to confirm the name! If your friend buys decent shoes it must cost him a small fortune to double up his purchases. Sadly, my cheapo shoe outlet of choice has gone bust again - Brantano. Quote
pistonbroke Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 No he buys cheapo Asda or street market stall crappy stuff , usually a brogue type thing , the sort that costs 4.99 a pair . what he needs is a foot friend or partner with the same sizes but on opposite feet. maybe there's a club ( pardon the pun ) for them to join Quote

DamperMan Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I would say returning the miss matched pair of shoes Saturday 9:00am morning when the Saturday staff are almost awake would go undetected. Cheep shoes.... about a month back I realised I had left my good shoes at home and was about to go visit a customer. Not wanting to go to town and rush buy more, or drive home , found myself In the charity shop 2 units down. £2.50 later fantastic... dead mans shoes Pre broken in.. fantastic! 1 Quote

Please appoint Damperman our chief Brexit negotiator. This is the kind of flexible, pragmatic thinking we need. Quote
