"I will Make Them Fit For That Price".

 I went for a more stroll this morning in my new walking shoes.

When I got next to the sea I noticed seaweed on the road.  The white horses of waves are getting stronger by the hour.

Storm Bram is arriving tomorrow night.

It started raining but at least I got four miles of exercise in.

I wore my new walking shoes:

Regatta walking shoes and someone bought me the socks for my sixty second birthday last Friday.

I have worn the soles off two pairs of walking shoes and boots this year.

Thee other week I went to town and browsed a hiking shop.  They had a lot of stuff in the sale.

I noticed a pair of size twelve Regatta walking shoes.  There was no price on them.  The lady shop keeper said she only that pair left.  Their original price was 100 Euros .  She would let me have them for thirty.

Regular blog readers know that Jean and me always looked for a bargain especially at carboot sales the summer. 

I said:

"I will make them fit for that price".

The lady laughed and ai tried on the boots.  I normally go for size eleven to allow for one foot being bigger than the other.  Measure yours if you don't  believe me.  Also your feet swell when you go on long walks.

I bought two thick anti blister socks for fifteen Euros.

The boots/shoes are really comfortable and I wear another pair of socks inside the thick hiking socks.

I was pleased with my find.
