Pod shoes

[remember]

Remember Pod shoes from the 70s and 80s? Well it seems they never went away... Pod recently contacted me to let me know about their new range of shoes and if you liked the originals, you'll love these:

But there are some great kids school shoes :)

[stuckinthe80's]

When I was at comprehensive school in about 1984/5 we used to wear POD SANDALS. The lads wore red ones and baby pink ones and the girls wore blue or yellow ones with 'pod tags' on! They were great. I had loads of those tags in different colours. I had a bright red pair of POD SANDALS I thought I was the dogs *******.

My sister had some Pod shoes in the 1990s, might have been loafers, but can't exactly remember.

Ah, 70's shoes.

I took some serious stick because I loved, as the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn, by and for a country mile, the original Clarks Nature Trek.

Yes, the cornish pasty shoe.

As someone with very broad feet, all trainers and most shoes creased uncomfortably across my toes.

I'm still a Clarks wearer.

Yes I remember Pod but does anybody remember Kios shoes? Think Adidas stan smith but in colours like red, navy and purple. They had a red rectangle on the back with the brand name on. Not many people of my age group remember them.

They were pratically a brand invented of the time during the football casuals. People were dying their stan smiths, Kickers etc in different colours, they sort of silently caught onto to what they were doing and made their own shoes called "Kios" and shoes called "Kios Rider" a ankle boot and "Kios low".

They came in a load of bright colours, such as below, and colours like Petrol, Red etc.

My bro had Pods, I had a pair of Troops, got them from the Duffer of ST George in Carnaby Street. IIRC they went bust after a rumour that the company director made some rascist comments and their SCLA factory got torched. At the time though they were the daddy.

Wasn't that the Brosettes that did that to their shoes and jackets?

I remember people having Kickers and having lots of the tags on them. It was strange really as one poor girl wore them before they became "trendy" and people used to call her "duck bill platypus shoes".

Another blast from the past - Travel Fox. ;)

[Trickyvee]

I loved my pod sandals. Had a yellow pair and swapped my pod man with my bezzie mate to get a blue one. I'd love a pair of those pods now if I could get them.

I'd love another pair too!! I really loved mine. I had a few pod men in different colours. Had a really nice patent leather one. All me mates at school wanted it!

I had forgotten about POD's. I had a grey girls pair at High School in the early 80's that had a T Bar at the front. I loved those shoes!
