yeh they look the bizz too! im thinking of getting a pair when i go back there. its the best shop for beatle gear and theyre nice to deal with. nothing like going for a pair of beatle boots and walking out of the shop right past a statue of the beatles playing live. cant beat that

I don't mind the clomp most of the time, but if I'm going to be walking around indoors on hard floors all day I just can't do it. It ends up being way too annoyingly loud and distracting.

hi 1965 u said in another boots post i was just reading that u fixed yr boots so they arent so noisy. just curious wat u did to them

[1965]

Mine had hollow heels. Replaced them with solid rubber ones and now it's not so bad. I'd get some beatwear boots, but I'm not sure they'd fit because my feet are wide.

oh ok cos i was clopping along in the shops before i was wearing my suede ones and yr post came to mind about making them softer. these ones have solid heels so they are prob the same as yrs.
mine are the beatwear ones and they are pretty slim i guess but they look cool

Hi all, New guy here.
Im looking to buy the Lennon boot, anyone know if these are comfortable? or are they hard to wear.
Thanks

I've two pairs of boots from Beatwear including a pair of black Lennon boots. They're comfortable, IMO. Be sure to consult with them about your size. Also, for those with wider feet, they're not bad. I have rather wide feet myself and they work fine.

I've had very good experiences dealing with Beatwear. When I ordered my first pair of boots from them, they actually called me on my cell phone to make sure about the sizing. Imagine my surprise when I am awoken at 8 AM and there's a Liverpudlian accent on the other end! They're highly recommended from me too. Also check out the Shea jacket. I have one of those and it's great.

I have to laugh, because when I was 16, I and the guys in my band put metal cleats on all our Beatle boots with the idea that they would be extremely noisy. This worked especially well in our high school, which had high ceilings and hard floors. When we were in class, we could tell that one of the members in our band was out in the hallway by the sound of cleats, so we'd all get the hall pass at the same time and hang out in the restroom -- please no comments about restrooms -- it was 1965.

hey guys,
i got my new tattoo in liverpool let me know wat u think......

[sjb-66]

Hey guy's,
I finally ordered a pair of Lennon Boot's in black. I cannot wait to get them, and I am already trying to save for my second pair in Brown next time. I'll let everyone know what I think when I get them. I have alway's worn Beatle style boot's , but they have gotten harder to find these days and to be able to find pair like these is great.

Beatwear also has repros of the Shea Wells Fargo badges and John's amulet necklace that he wore constantly during 1968. Really gear stuff!

[beatlefreak]

Fairly expensive, too!

This place also carries the Beatle boots:
