Why on earth did we put these on our shoes/trainers? Was it Bros that started it off? Come on, own up if you looked stupid too!!

They still look camp as Christmas! These two used to scare me;)

It was definitely a Bros thing. You had to wear Jeans with holes everywhere, black shoes with grolsch bottle tops on them and have bleach blonde hair :confused: Why did I find them attractive?

I used to work in a Barratts shoe shop as a saturday job Waaaaaaaay back when.

When the whole Bros thing happened, the shop got a stock of shoes that had fake plastic grolsch bottle caps on them. They went the fastest I've ever seen shoes go in my life. A whole stock of them went in a single day.

The thing was, they were ****. The bottle top was plastic, not ceramic, the shoe barely held together and they looked ridiculous (in my opinion, then and indeed now). So, no in answer to your question, I have never worn those bleedin' bottle stops on my shoes, but I was responsible for a fair few people in Middlesbrough perpetrating that particular fashion crime.

Me and some of my friends did. Although I wouldn't wear them now I still think they looked pretty good, not sure why a lot of people think they look stupid.
