Hey, I put some new shoes on, And suddenly everything is right......

So as far as shoes go I'm fairly simple and as my Granddad once said. (in a thick Yorkshire accent)

"Spend your money on your shoes and your bed lad, 'cos if you not in one you in t'other"

Old Shoes!!
With that in mind I tend to have just one pair of shoes on the go that I live in, day in day out. For the past year my feet have been sporting a pair of North Face Hedgehog GTX II's. I go to work in them (just about smart enough), mow the lawn, go camping, walk the dog, do outdoors'y stuff etc. When I bought them I was slightly sceptical as NF always feels like a bit of a high street brand but bought them I did and I've loved them.




A year on and they look a bit tatty now, smell a bit bad, the soles are worn, the laces are all frayed but they are still holding together pretty well and much better than any other shoe I've ever owned. They are also superbly comfortable.
New Shoes!!

So I've just treated myself to another pair, same colour and everything, but now they are the III model. Hopefully just as good. Best price was £76 delivered from Webtogs and for a pair of shoes that will last a year of everyday wear that's a bargain!
