On top of all of the diseases, they could be fakes, they could be to big or small, or wide or tight .... they could smell as well :(

I sold an old pair of shoes on Ebay. I couldn't actually believe someone bought them. The buyer actually asked me not to leave feedback,presumably so people couldn't see via his feedback that he was such a tight arse and buys second hand shoes.They were a pair of broges about 10 years old. They wern't even churches FFS

Why come on here and tell everybody that you are going to buy secondhand shoes if you don't want a good ribbing. You know what this place is like by now
Report speedypro • January 30, 2010 7:51 PM GMT
I bought some. Wanted to replace the comfiest pair I ever had and none were about, took a punt on ebay and got a pair for a song. Had been worn once and box lobbed. Perfect find for me.

If they're second hand they should fit like a glove.

I'll be OK thanks. I'll take the risk. In the unlikely scenario that I am outbid, I'll never know though.

They look reasonably stylish imo, and shouldn't break the bank
Report speedypro • January 30, 2010 8:01 PM GMT
That is a very underwhelming pair of shoes.
Report very-valuable • January 30, 2010 8:02 PM GMT
I see some fecker has bid on them already is that you or are you going to get into a bidding frenzy for a pair of smelly old shoes
Report 718 • January 30, 2010 8:02 PM GMT
Just seen your post Bert. Thanks for that. I'll take solace in the fact that I won't be outbid by you though.

That's me VV. I'd not want to get involved in anything like a battle of 'who blinks first' over the item. If I'm Outbid, I'll certainly think before raising my max bid

Report Gallivanter • January 30, 2010 8:37 PM GMT
When I was a kid, most of my clothes were second hand. I remember a pair of shoes my mum bought me when I was about 13. The previous owner(s) had worn right through the soles and and glued on Stick-a-soles. I wore what I was given, the only thing I never got second hand were underpants and socks.
Report liamcol • January 30, 2010 8:44 PM GMT
Glued on stick a soles?
You were a toff mate, the young uns nowadays don't know hardship.
