New Shoes...

Samuel Windsor Shoes - Classic Oxfords
...thanks to Flyingpops (and the Sunday Times newspaper) I now have a nice new pair of leather shoes that really fit (and amazingly aren't either - a) made by Dr Marten or b) from the USA)...Samuel Windsor make a handmade range (which they advertised in said newspaper) right up to size 14! The pair pictured here are their "Classic Oxford", which are very comfortable indeed! ;) We did get two pairs but the other ones were a bit too big(!) so they went back via the Royal Mail today for them to send a slightly smaller model...it's normally my experience to walk into a shoe shop and be lucky if there is even 1 pair to try on (no option on the style at all)...in fact, I even failed miserably at the "Dr Marten Store" in Covent Garden, "Sorry, the biggest size we stock is 12"...pathetic...not everyone is a midget, you know! ;)
