Well, okay, I’m not going back to school, but I am applying for jobs. Assuming I’m actually invited for any interviews, I thought I’d better go for something a little bit smarter than the shiny Dr Martens I was looking at the other week!
These are Hush Puppies, and I bought them online from Cloggs. I took a bit of a risk ordering online, but Cloggs have a very simple returns process, so I thought I’d give it a try. Thankfully, they’re an almost perfect fit! They’re wide enough to accommodate all my toes, deep enough for my orthotics, and wide enough at the calf that I can actually do up the zip.
If I was going to be nit-picky (which you know I am), I’d complain that they’re a little bit more baggy than I would have liked around the ankle. But then Hush Puppies can’t reasonably be expected to know the precise dimensions of my ankles, so I think I’ll let them off.
Of course, now I’ve looked at the Hush Puppies website to paste in the link, and am desperately wishing that I could still wear high heels. I’d be running around in these or these, if that were the case.
Now I just have to hope that these boots last as long as the pair that they’re replacing. I’ve had my Think! boots for at least five years, and I love them dearly. Sadly they’re now beyond repair, and Think! haven’t made a similar style for a long time.
My new boots have a lot to live up to. Good luck, Hush Puppies.
I LOVE these boots! Stylish and probably comfortable! I am tall so I can’t wear heals these are perfect!
Maybe this is what I need! I, too, have to wear orthotics, so spend my life in battered trainers, because buying footwear is so traumatic, and nothing is ever very comfortable. I’ll have a look at Cloggs. Thank you for the hint.
