This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Patent leather shoes were a must have fashion accessory of the 80s. They had to have a decent shine on them so you could see your face in them, and they were best with a big gold coloured buckle on.

    I bought a pair of purple patent cort shoes back in 1966 I was 14 I raided my little sisters money box,It was palm sunday and I was going to see the mindbenders in a show at south pier blackpool, Bob Lang the bass guitarist of the Mindbenders commented on my shoes he said they wear a lovely colour, that was fab, but looking back now I feel bad about what I did, no I dont. well maybe.

    I remember a friend of mine having lovely shiny patent leather shoes at primary school, and me being insanely jealous because I wasn't allowed them (to be fair, I always managed to scuff the toes of my clumpy Clark's within 5 minutes so I can see why). They also had a pretty flower design on the sole too, instead of the boring old stripes, and she even had two different colours! Black and burgundy ones. It all seemed very unfair when I was 6.

Do you remember these?
