After the very hurtful comments from the priest about my shoes the other day, I'm planning to visit Sketchers when we're in Madrid at the weekend. I'm hoping to buy a pair of those erotic sounding slip-ins 😬.
I trust you will have a dirty old mac with the collar well pulled up when you enter the establishment, a hat and dark glasses could complete the ensemble, one wouldn't want to be recognised entering such an establishment and it would be wise not to linger looking in the window.

I was going to drag my wife along but that sounds like a solo mission might be more productive ;). Thanks indeed for sharing the benefit of your experience.

Most Sketcher shoes have a reasonably wide fit…I just bought a pair of trainers today…..but every time I try on the easy fit ones, they are too narrow and if you get them longer, the heels slip off

Yeah. I usually buy comfort fit slip ons, but I still have to get down with my finger to get the heel on. That's OK sitting on the stairs at home, but it's a real pain if I don't have somewhere to sit which is the case when I step off the boat onto the Quay. I was hoping the new slip-ins would work for me.

I said a funny joke in French today….we were at the house of our new dog sitter getting to know each other….he said to me, is the dog a digger ?
I said, have you ever seen The Great Escape ?

I knew someone would come along with that suggestion 😡.
My grandmother lived with us when I was a child. I have no good memories of her, and the abiding bad one is of her regularly trying to take a swipe at me with a big shillelagh of a wooden shoe horn she had. I've always sworn if I ever needed to use one of those I'd rather go barefoot.

I am sure you merited her attention.
