As well as my diary on the Plimsoll-Adult forum I thought it would be a good idea to have a separate photo diary here. To start it off I'm including a few photos of my new black DEKS lace-ups, which I bought a couple of weeks ago along with a white pair, which I'm saving until spring unless someone persuades me otherwise.
The shop didn't have my usual size 9 (UK) but they had 8s, which I can wear OK as long I don't wear them for too long and don't do too much walking in them. The smaller size looks really nice on my feet though, which I hope you'll agree with, so that's worth a little discomfort. The guy in the shop told me he would be getting a stock of the larger sizes next month so I'll be getting some of those as well.
I've only got a very basic cameraphone so I hope the image quality is OK.
The 30" laces that came with the plimsolls were far too long and also had transparent ferrules which just didn't look right. So I replaced them with 24" ones with proper matching colour ferrules that look much better.
Sorry for the rather boring socks but I do have some much nicer ones which I'll post photos of in due course.
Please do come back with any comments or questions.
