On the point of consigning some fairly new shoes to the charity bag as I had clearly bought them a size too small and tight, I was wondering how I could have got it so wrong more than once.
Have my feet grown
?
Then I realised that a summer of trainers, sandals, espadrilles and lightweight canvas deck shoes had simply made me unused to closer fitting autumn or winter shoes!
So I persevered with the first pair I had been about to chuck, a pair of Hotter brogue/ loafers and 12 hours later, they feel fine!
So sorry, charity shop, these shoes live to fight another day.
Anybody else ever had this experience?
