Portsmouth's pretty good for stuff, what with all the outlet stores around here and towards Southampton way, I guess it depends which shoes you're buying but being female I can get mine pretty much anywhere.

I brought a pair of leather look boots a couple of months ago off ebay, and although they do fit and are comfy enough you know that they're just not going to live for a great deal longer. But I guess that's what you get when you want to spend less than £20 on them... next I intend to buy a proper pair of doc martins though, so I know they'll live!

If i survive this weekend with Clocked and Knighty, i might pop over to Portsmouth sometime

If it's a long lasting pair of Doc Martens you want then have a look at the lifetime range. Admittedly they only do the standard boots in fairly standard colours and they are more expensive but they are much more solidly built than a regular pair and you get a lifetime warranty for wear and tear, just send your boots back and they send you a new pair.

It's been nice knowing you, put in a good word for us all with him upstairs would you?

As long as we don't run into any midgets or racist bouncers we'll be alright!

I've always wanted the old school pairs, the black ones that are pretty high-topped. I know they're like £100+, but I know they're not going to fall apart after wearing them a few times (which a pair of shoes my mum brought me for christmas actually did). The for life range seems pretty good, it would be nice to just keep getting them replaced (:

The last 3 pairs i bought before lasted me about 6 months, one of them was £50 but shoes just aren't built like they used to be.

My brother has a habit of destroying trainers in about a 5 month period, but he does a lot of training and stuff, and also according to the people at the nike outlet runs 'wrong' so he has to get these special trainers probably do nothing but just cost about £50 more...

My better half has had them replaced a few times. She has a shelf full of different flavours of DM's but you can really tell that the lifetime ones are a bit tougher and more durable to begin with even without the lifetime warranty.
