So a pair of thigh length stiletto boots wouldn't be practical for the wifes dog walking then? |

I've had to 'fess up. So much for the Christmas surprise. They were on a special for £250 instead of £350 everywhere else. £100 saving if she liked them and they fitted, £250 wasted if they didn't fit or she didn't like 'em. Could send them back immediately if unwanted but if I waited till Christmas Day and no good.......I don't even want to think about it! Oh, and made in Portugal on the label. BTW, she liked 'em. Now I've got to get another surprise pressie. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto Present: Audi A3 S Line. |

Well, that was short lived! Was just going to put them in the loft last night and leave them there for Christmas when I had another look at them. I noticed something different about the quality of one of them. The lower strap was all curley and different from the other side.

Yay! 25% off nothing. Why, that's....nothing! Sod it, just ordered a pair of Dubarry Longfords. Not cheap, not on sale, but with my financial year ending this month I'm having a spend-up. Boots are 'protective wear' aren't they? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto Present: Audi A3 S Line. |

FFS! How much do you have to spend to get a well made pair of boots these days? Dubarrys duly arrived, wifey put them on, fitted perfectly but looked odd. Maybe it's me being fussy but I think the quality of finish on a pair of boots costing £349 is appalling. They're going back too!
