THE TRUSTWORTHY REDS


I have a pair of red shoes I bought from H&M without much though  some six-seven years ago for 19,90 which, after a rather painful blister-full debut during a weekend in Budapest surprisingly turned into the comfiest and most wearable shoes in the world. After which they have, apart from walked around in numerous cities here and there, been chewed upon by both cats and dogs and had their share of sudden rains and unexpected escapades trough muddy fields. And so on.

I bought them to the cobbler's once to try and have them saved and he went "Ah, red shoes", in a familiar voice. "They always seem to be the most precious ones". These were perhaps not my most precious ones per se, but definitely the most trustworthy. And now they are falling apart to the point I believe it's time to give them up. Luckily I happened to come over another pair of reds that could possibly turn into the new most comfiest and most wearable shoes in the world. Not as nice a model as the previous ones and in a less dirt-friendly material (canvas compared to pleather) but a pair I propably should buy an extra set of for future all-the-time use and where-ever walks...

The new ones are plain DinSko shoes (for 24,90).

Oh, I hate to say goodbye to beloved clothes, shoes or handbags! Unfortunately there's no alternative to replace them one day.
Hope your new shoes will be as similar comfy and often worn as the old, which obviously did their job quite well! ;o)
It was only recently I realised how very suitable red shoes are to nearly any dress colour. I swear I'll never go without red shoes again!

Totally know what that cobbler meant about the red shoes! Personally I find every time I buy a new pair of summer shoes they turn out to be red. Oops!

I know how you feel. After many years together I lost my trustworthy black laced heels last Autumn and haven't found a replacement yet. I really do miss them. I should have bought three pairs at first - but had no choice, buying them second hand...

I have the same pair from H&M! :) Mine hurt my feet at the beginning as well so I never wore them but did not dare to give them away. Then last year I gave them another chance and, they turned out to be quite comfy. The good thing is that they now still look pretty good.
I keep my fingers crossed that you will find a similar one soon!
