I bought a pair of these a few years ago, never wore them.

They’re best left to the past.

Pod were the other desirable brand. I hankered after Adidas shoes but they seemed unattainable both financially and practically.

Im just about old enough to also have had my feet x rayed in a shoe shop as a kid.

I thought they were got rid of because of concerns about Radiation, but now, seeing that the machine was called a ‘Pedoscope’, im thinking again.

Quick question on Universal Works. Does it all fit true to size?

Not bad tbh. I do buy their trousers a size smaller as a better fit though.

Quality good? You get some wear out of it?

Yeah all good. I have a few pairs of trousers, which I love, and a suit. All very good quality materials.

Not for the bank account!

Great. Going in.

Its one of those labels that turns up a lot, brand new, on Vinted, if you want to test the waters…

Be interesting to see if that starts happening in the states now that they have a US shop/distribution.

Vinted have abolished, possibly temporarily, shipping fees from the US and possibly absorb the VAT also. No idea why but I bought a shirt for seven quid from someone in Decatur Georgia, without really clocking that’s what I’d done. Meanwhile a record from the same spot would be what? £25 quid or so?
