RicH_87 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 All good.

Mark W Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Erm, pretty much the same as Duffs? Well, I've got size 11 Duffs and they feel pretty much the same as my size 11 Orchids, so if you know what Duffs are like compared to the others, you've got an idea. I think they're all much of a muchness though in fairness. They're shit-hot shoes though. The Lurkers were awesome Had the Teems (where's the a, dammit Orchid) before that, and they were shit-hot too The sole just works really well with all pedals, really. Good stuff. Plus they look cool as shit? I'd rather be seen in town in these riding shoes than some pixie boots anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 What kind of dumb website refuses to work in Safari? I don't really NEED any more trainers (I have about 9 pairs), but I'm very tempted by this... How much is postage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I ordered some Teems a few days ago, syuper sexy. 'Mar 11 2006, 04:51 AM' WTF? Yeah, got the reply from them today saying they'll be sent out on Monday. Good stuff, 'cos my stand-in (no pun intended) Duffs raped my feet today. Thought my socks were sticking to my feet, but it was actually most of the sole of my foot lying in each sock. f**king epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

Mark W Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 We're going to have to consult each other on what we plan to wear when we ride so we don't have matching shoes.That'd make us very gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 They're great to ride in, and yes, you'll be wanting a 9. Mine turned up today, a day after I expected them to. My brother's didn't turn up today, so if they do tomorrow that'll also be a day after expected. Pretty much the same as any time I've ever ordered from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I orderd a pair of these on tuesday, came on wednesday. I got the hex ones in brown size 9. Even though they're half price, £35 is a little pricey for a pair of shoes. Anyhoo they look mint and I've jsut been out riding with them, I used to have a pair of dunlop trainers but these are so much better for riding! They feel really comftorble and make things feel diffrent lol. Anyhoo, when I got in I put my trainers back on and went riding with those on and they feel scatty as f**k. 'BMX shoes' all the way!Thnx Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Goch Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Seeing 'orchids' my MATE (I underline the MATE, it definately wasn't me, what gave you that crazy thought? :$ ) HE thought you meant flowers, I mean what a dumbass!
