and Mick's wearing Blakeys
Anyone remember them?
Even back at school in the 70's we all wore Blakeys. I had forgotten about them.. |  |

Yeah. 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]

Yep, very awkward when you lost one and you only clicked with one foot.
... takes me back to wearing Tonics as well.
Edit .. Weren't Blakeys meant to be worn in a pair of Loafers? [Post edited 7 Nov 2021 7:36]

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! | | | |

for our younger viewers Blakey's are
Must admit I didn't realise you could still get them |  |

If I remember correctly, Blakeys were banned at my secondary modern after marking the wooden floors and making a hell of a din when walking the corridors.
Had them in my out of school shoes and the soles lasted yonks. |  |

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

That suddeinly took me back, Ben Sherman shirt, sta press trousers, too short of course, white socks and either brogues or loafers with blakeys in.
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. |  |

You could kick the back of your heel and try and generate some sparks. Also used to hang out the back of a (slow moving) IBC bus and generate some sparkage. |  | | |
