No shoes for old men

No shoes for old men

Battling with the disappointment of having to replace a pair of shoes that decided to come apart..it dawned on me how ridiculously difficult it has become to find a pair of shoes that don't resemble something from Aladdin.

Every shoe I looked at had the same pointed, curled up toe..which for most younger men probably does enough to look stylish..but for someone in their forties..looks desperate..even Marks and Spencer, the last bastion of old age had little choice other than the Aladdin look.

I have no real objection to looking ridiculous..but I think there comes a time when you have to give it up for a more sensible long lasting shoe.

  2. I do find that I have pushed the comfort factor higher up my list of priorities. Not quite looking at Dr Scholls yet, though
