Each to their own I know but I always rather resent paying large sums of money for such clumsy looking footwear! Sensible, I know, when walking (but boots are nicer!) and essential for some sports ( don’t do any!) and also essential apparently for wearing these days with floaty dresses as well as jeans! I have a few pairs but don’t look forward to replacing them like my daughters do. Prefer a nice pair of low pumps for comfort or heels for a dressy look (even with jeans-so retro now!), thank heavens I can still walk in them!
