I had the opportunity yesterday to buy a brand new pair of (English) Loakes, hand made, all leather, for 10 UKP! Though I tried to like them, they were really not my style, even though the new price would have been around 12-13 times that!

I think they will last longer than I will! They are now available in the US for much more than I paid for them. If you are ever in France, see if you can find a pair on sale. They are handmade, wonderful and indestructible. This recommendation is from someone who has hammer toes and heal spurs! Tina
