Down at Heel

It seemed like a good buy at the time: $245 reduced to $99.95.

However these shoes were never comfortable and I barely wore them except round the house a couple of times trying to wear them in.

But yesterday I decided to risk putting them on to go to the races.
I can't believe a pair of shoes could disintegrate to this extent in one day.
First the trim started to fall off, then the soles and I was finally left with half a heel in which is embedded a bit of vegetation. You can even see bits of metal "reinforcing" (as if) in the soles.
I could barely walk in them by this stage.
It didn't enhance my chances of winning Fashions in the Field :-(

It wouldn't be funny if I had paid full price for them, and I'm glad of an excuse to throw them out as they were so uncomfortable. 
But I will take them back to shoe shop and show them just for interest, not that I'm after a refund as it's a couple of years since I bought them.
And just about worth $100 for the entertainment value, and the blip which I'll tag for Derelict Sunday.
