My day-to-day casual shoes were wearing out. They are pair of green suede converse pair of tennis shoes, I think I got them in the sale.
The soles are worn down, and I keep on meaning to find where I could get a decent pair of shoes. I don't mean going-out shoes - I have lots of those. But just something for daily wear (I'm not this isn't good so at least have a few pairs to alternate). The only really daily pairs are trainers/sneakers/tennis shoes and they tend to be branded. I'm sorry, I'm not going to pay beyonds the odds just because of a brand.
I probably need a good pair of walking shoes but for the interim just something decent. Made more apparent when the security guard at work looked at my feet. Yes, I was shoe-shamed in a way so that did force me into buying something quicker. I wanted to check out other stores.
So shamedfaced, I found my way to Clarks - there is an outlet shop near me. And I discovered a nice pair of knock-about shoes for fairly reasonable price. Probably a bit more expensive than the Converse but it would do.
These are the pair of shoes, and I hired them on and they fitted. Probably not the best to be worn in cold wet weather that we are experiencing at the moment but they were comfortable.
I can also wear them at work and bring back my flat ballet ones. These give more support. But I'm still going to need to find a pair for walking. It wasn't that much off the original price so there is no need to shout BARGAIN. It was just a few pounds off.
They also sell bags if you fancied it. Clarks is good old quality - a brand you can rely on. On and off, I'd have a few Clark shoes mixed with my other higher-end stuff.
So that was my shoe adventure.
