I had Blakey’s in my shoes at school until I started wearing DM’s. Didn’t want to risk puncturing them. Blakeys and white dog sh1t were so 1970’s. [Post edited 6 Nov 2021 23:14]

Edit .. Weren't Blakeys meant to be worn in a pair of Loafers? [Post edited 7 Nov 2021 7:36]

Memories - Just walking back from the pub with the boy and my mate Mick the Fish on 09:55 - Nov 7 with 713 views | NBVJohn | I had Blakey’s until I got a pair of boots that had the metal plate actually built into the heel. I think they were called quarter heels. It all seemed quite grown up until I also recall that I loved nothing more to put my heel down onto the road whilst riding my bike in the dark and watching the sparks fly! | | | |

Had them in my out of school shoes and the soles lasted yonks. | |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Remember quite a large number of my mates wearing black armbands to school wen the Jam split up as well, not related but made me think of it. | |
