Well, have now read said copy; overall quite good for £4.00 for a hard back; made me laugh in places. I would have personally liked to have seen a Sock Sizing Table associated with actual foots sizes and a little history of the more refined brands such as Pantherella, would not have gone amiss. Afraid to say that I still break Rule No 1 (Socks Must be Worn), in so far as I do not wear socks with my desert boots in hot climes (India), nor with driving shoes (Fins [no longer in existence] or Tod's), nor with my Cheaney soft leather slippers / mules (for indoor use); nor my Chatham Deck Shoes and mules; no, not even the no-show or the invisible.
But, as they always say, in order to break the rules, one must initially know them!
