On the way home yesterday after a pretty busy day at work I went to the local supermarket, I needed milk and didn’t want to walk to the little shop in the village. It had rained earlier in the day, not masses, but enough to turn the air cold. I parked the car and walked across the car park. Then, I felt wet inside my right shoe. Gah. This is really annoying. I can’t remember when I bought those shoes, but I know I hadn’t spent a lot on them. The plan was to generally buy more shoes but of worse quality over time.
A while back, maybe around, 2017 I bought a pair of DM shoes because I thought that spending a reasonable amount of money would mean that the shoes would last longer. However, paying over GBP100 for a pair of shoes and for them to hurt when wearing them seemed an affront to common sense. Surely expensive shoes wouldn’t need “breaking in”. I was wrong.
So now the cheap shoes have died. But I do have a good way of breaking in shoes. It involves a hammer and a little time. So, I’m starting to think I should get another decent pair of shoes – probably Dr Martens – with the hope that they will last and be comfy.
