A parcel came in on Monday morning..
Docs!
Delivered in a week!
I wore them out today and they’re nice and warm and great for this rainy weather we’ve been having but they really hurt the back of my heel. Any tips how to wear them in faster? Some people have suggested running them over with a car or beating the heel with a stick but I rather not do that..
I watched Dead Man’s Shoes (another Shane Meadows film) the other night. It’s an amazing movie.
Toby Kebbell is a very good actor. I’ve only seen him in a couple of movies (the junkie musician in RocknRolla, Joy Division’s manager Rob Gretton in Control) but I think he’s great. Paddy Considine (who plays Kebbell’s brother Richard in Dead Man’s Shoes) also played Rob Gretton in 24 Hour Party People.
P.S I’ve lost my battery adapter for the dslr so I won’t be using it for a while until I replace it. I guess I’ll get into film photography then.

Good idea! I was just thinking of wearing two pairs of socks. Or maybe really thick socks..

OH OH OH.
If your shoes are hurting you, rub sunlight soap on the shoes in the area that’s causing you pain and it’ll stop it rubbing against your heels and will help soften it.
ALSO rub some dubbin leather softener on them…and wear bandaids on the back of your heels for a while.

Great docs!
I wore really thick socks & band aids to wear mine in, after a while they’re fine.

I’m glad you liked the film – its haunting.
What site did you get the docs from?

i got mine from ebay but there’s a couple of sites that you can buy them from for cheaper/free postage since you’re in the u.k.
