[annie1]

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!!

Re: Grolsch Bottle Tops

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 Why did I find them attractive?

Re: Grolsch Bottle Tops

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.

Re: Grolsch Bottle Tops

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.

Re: Grolsch Bottle Tops

Haaaar...I did this. Mind I was only about 11 at the height of Bros. Didn't even like them really but got swept along in the hype. I had the real deal bottle tops on a pair of clumpy black shoes that were a bit like DMs. Wore them with a Bros T shirt and jeans plastered with Bros patches *cringe*. Still can't see what anybody saw in Bros.
