Ye ,like most people on here good quality brogues ,oxfords any shoe with a leather soul really. my choice was como's a plain all leather shoe very light an comfy. Soon wore out on the painted concrete floor at the wheel though but great on wood. Been wearin (for dancin), LOAKS, for the last twenty years fantastic shoes, expensive but worth it .As for (wheel) bags i never did them. You mentioned bowling shoes i remember "Vinny Bury"from Darwen once turning up at the Wheel wearing not only bowling shoes,but a patchwork overall all different colours both "borrowed" from Blackpool pleasure beach,brilliant!! quote name='ljblanken' date='08 May 2010 - 06:52 PM' timestamp='1273341125' post='1326936']
been watching lots of videos on youtube about wigan, etc (never been, as i was in diapers and living in ohio at the time!).
two questions:
- what kind of shoes did people wear? sometimes it looks like hard sole dress shoes (wingtips, oxfords, etc) and some people look like they are wearing bowling shoes? what did people look for in a dancing shoe? that dancing looks SO INTENSE that it seems like those shoes would kill your feet.
- what were in those gym bags? records?
ok - just a couple of silly questions from an outsider!
