Mark is a Royal Elastic wearer who has something of an eye for the ladies. When we met, his eyes continuously drifted off to any passing females (something you can see in the top pics as girl's kept walking past), and his link to the ladies is even evident in the odd situation of what he was doing when I shot him, as he was on the street selling an eclectic array of ladies shoes that had been left at his house by a female friend.
Anyway, while the female shoes around him were eclectic and varied, his own tastes are loyal and committed as he only wears shoes by Royal Elastics. The company was created by 2 Australians in the late 90's with their point of difference being that instead of using laces, they use elastic and velcro and represent a playful, youthful style within their designs.
Mark's been a avid wearer of the brand or years, as in his own words 'they are are shoes you can walk in for a thousand miles, dance in all night, then return home still feeling like you're wearing slippers'.
I don't know much about the brand, but I couldn't help but think that a thousand miles is a long way to walk to go dancing. Maybe there were girls there?.
They do last a ridiculously long time. I have 3 pairs which have danced their way through clubs and festivals for over 11 years now, and they're still going strong!
