Yes I know its late October. But with clothes in the shops 3-4 months before we wear them and me having annoying feet (my username), at least when these shoes are in the shops, I know what to look for.
Worked in places where wore a uniform and sometimes, company shoes for 17 years. So wore the same shoes all year round. In my previous office job where I wore smart casual clothes, I could get away wearing wearing all black trainers. Not at the new job. Its more for those days that in the mid 20s C plus.
I cannot wear sandals at all as not supportive around ankle, sprained my ankles more times than you can think. Still surprised that my ligaments not torn yet. Plus flat footed, size 8 and wide feet. I am against spending stupid amounts of money on shoes. I'm in my mid 40s and don't want sandals which women double my age wear.
