Down at heel

I walk a fair bit, this much I know.

Nonetheless, I'm somewhat surprised to have gone through the heels of another pair of Karrimors. I had avowed not to buy any more of their shoes, ever since going through the soles in less than six weeks, but P and I were getting his indoor PE shoes for school in September, these were cheap (I wonder why?), so I picked them up.

Normally I use my 'proper' walking boots for walking Mali, and unless I'm 'dressed down' (which, to be fair, I maybe do at least one day in five), the walk to work is in the work shoes. So it's not as if I'm traipsing marathons round Hull on a daily basis in the Karrimors (work and back twice a day is 8 miles. c2 hours walking Mali, let's round down and call it roughly 12 miles' walking a day).

So, and this time I mean it, that's the last time I buy Karrimors...
