Is it fair to point out that these shoes all actually look like walking shoes?

At least they don't look like ducks though. Or spring flowers. It's a bit like the way road bikes look like road bikes rather than mountain bikes say. 'I'm looking for a road bike that looks like a downhill bike...'

It's fair to point out that all those shoes look like the same shoe (trainer, really) in different colour schemes. None of them look like walking shoes unless you walk in the dry all the time.

The daft snobbery about beards, Clarks and cardigans is doubly ridiculous when you suggest a black trainer that looks like one of the original football trainers from 1973 but chunkier.

What you want is a Brasher shoe. Proper leather. Waterproof and wipe clean. Comfortable for people who aren't Italians with pointed feet. You don't look like a 40 year old IT operative. You DO look like somebody in control of your life.

Except that Brasher shoes don't exist any more, partly because people in control of their lives chose not to buy them - projection can be deceptive.

When I was in GoOutdoors last night I'm sure I saw a sign saying Berghaus and Brasher were now the same company?

Edit: This very sign in fact:

😀

I think the ribbing is mild at best. So don't get too offended by it.

I could see those poking out under a nice trouser-leg. Maybe next year...
