After an email came flooding in showing concern at my footwear situation (my last pair of Nike sandals got shrunk in a boil wash; if you're interested check out the archives...) I feel the need to update.
My original Nikes, having served me faithfully for several years even before we left the UK (but then again with British summers they were rarely worn) have been replaced with Mikes and are entirely capable of encasing the delicate feet of yours truly against the rigors of modern walking to the beach and back.
I managed to source these exclusive items of footwear at a prestigious market stall in Zadar, Croatia, for the princely sum of a fiver and despite numerous blisters, pinching and a tendency to act like ice skates on any surface except carpet, they are most excellent.
They even have a fancy tick logo...
i had a bad feelings about "busta grip" boots, which were totally devastated because of forceful pulling the boot off my feet. when the bottom turned into pieces, i gave them back to shop (warranty was still valid), but they returned them saying it's only a 6 months period, not one year, when it is claimed that the damage is caused by factory faults, so they don't feel any sorry my boots were nothing but a piece of crap, despite the warranty was still valid.
ReplyDeletehello? so is it a year or six months then?
oh well, i thought, i sticked the bottom altogether with argentinian poxipol glue and left the leather parts ripped. perfect for summer!
