I still have my Rockport boots from School in the cupboard somewhere and in pristine condition.
They are black with silver looking bits on them from what I recall!
I always wanted brown with the green accents on them tbh.
I got them around when I was 15 when they were bloody expensive, I think they cost around £140 from the corner shop facing The Crompton Place on Bradshawgate (I can't remember the name).
Never wore them with trackie bottoms though!
I may dig them out and see if they still fit!
I had four pairs. The ones you had, two brown and some proper boots.
Also had brown lacoste similar style to rockport.
My first wage from my first proper job i bought brown rockport and a pair of adidas predator. I had about 50 quid left after i had paid my keep to my mum
I was very lucky to get mine as my mum bought me them.
I did have a 2 cheaper models before the pair said in my post above, one that was nubuck that came from a shop from the outlet place at the port at Fleetwood which cost about 60 quid but weren't comfy and they were a size too big, I only bought them because they were cheap!.
Plus a pair all in black the were quite subtle with ribbing at the back for cushioning.
I first started off with a pair of black Cat branded boots that were like lead on the feet!
You never grow out of being a scally; )
Even now i have these as my work boots
