I love my Colchester's!

I've had these sneakers for awhile, and I am still surprised that no one has mentioned them on the Lounge yet.

Here's the website:

Never heard of them. It says on their site that they were in operation for just five years, over a century ago. I ain't that old.

Nice shoes, anyway.

The Colchester's are very cool.

They have been mentioned before: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=32738

Speedster,

Good catch. I did a forum search for "colceshter" and not "colchesters" and nothing came up (what a difference a letter make). I have a pair of linen low tops and I want the Brown high tops. Gotta love the turkey feather print on the bottom!

These look great. Thanks for posting.

I've been trying to find a pair of old style boots like this. Converse are everywhere these days and I want something different. But I've had no luck locating these in the UK. I'm awaiting a reply to my question to Colchester direct about whether they've got UK distribution.

Hammacher Schlemmer (please don't bust my chops too hard if either of those names is spelled incorrectly) had them on their website a while back....

Fixed.

I got a pair a year ago and I love em!
My Baby Jo will have them available on their website in March.

I got a very helpful reply from the man at Colchester HQ who says there should be some stock available in 4 to 6 weeks.

I'm looking forward to getting a pair of these.
