I'm on my fourth pair now, and for smart but not flashy shoes I wouldn't buy anything else. Kickers are a French brand who make both smart-casual shoes and casual ones, as well as making other clothes and fashion accessories.

I now can regretfully tell you that I will never see that seventy pounds again, nor will I ever see the shoes, because they are probably sitting on top of a rubbish dump somewhere by now. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I spend seventy pounds on a pair of shoes, especially if they are from a reputable make like Kickers, I expect to get my money’s worth.
