New shoes again
Can you tell which is the old and which the new? 😉
My trainers were so grubby that I had forgotten they were blue.
The washing machine did its best, but some of the dirt is ingrained. I wear them most of the time and thought it would be sensible to have a second pair.
The new blue shoes arrived yesterday.
I fancied a 'pretty' pair, but really, what would be the point?
There would be no point at all!
ReplyDeleteQuite so:-)
DeleteIs that the old shoe in the last picture with the treads not at all worn down? I wear my trainers all the time because nothing else fits me and the treads are worn to almost nothing after a year and a bit.
ReplyDeleteJanice is obviously light on her feet.
DeleteI don't wear them on hard surfaces so they don't get the same sort of wear. I'd like to think myself light on my feet . . . but I'm not!
DeleteYou will probably never wear the old ones now, but it does mean you have spare laces.
ReplyDeleteStill wearing the old ones until the new ones are properly worn in.
DeleteGrubby shoes suggest a well-prioritised life!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
PS Nobby says the same of grubby paws.
The dirt from grubby paws soon comes off - on the soft furnishings.
DeleteHi Janice - I've given up too .. and just wear something comfortable ... happy damp weekend by the look of it - use the old pair!! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWet and warm - and the old shoes are still in use.
DeleteMy feet are so accustomed to comfortable these days that I resent having to dress up for weddings and the like. Those look like mighty fine shoes - both pairs.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean.
DeleteI will say I am jealous that you got blue shoes. My favorite color in the whole world. In the summer mine are a light gray with mesh, and in the winter they are white leather. Got to have good support when we're walking don't we.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! It's far too easy to turn an ankle without good support.
DeleteInvesting in a good pair is a good idea. good for back and hips
ReplyDeleteFootwear is so important. Painful feet affect everything.
DeleteGood for you getting a new pair. I find that I usually put off getting another pair because I can't find one's that feel good and I'm too lazy to shop, thus my sneakers last me until they are falling apart. I guess I should buy two pairs at a time and alternate wearing them.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good solution, but somehow I never manage to do that.
DeleteAs a child my sister always got the red shoes and me the blue......
ReplyDeleteNeed I say more 🤣
Where would we be without our comfy, machine washable trainers?

I don't like slippers, so trainers work for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to wear them out, means you're using them! That new pair looks fresh and ready to go.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true!
DeleteI hardly wear trainers because I'm finding it hard to find a pair I like and which doesn't have white soles, which I absolutely abhor. Yours look pretty decent though! xxx
ReplyDeleteThey're comfortable and that's what is most important.
DeleteI like them - they look very sturdy. xx
ReplyDeleteThey are supportive without being clunky.
DeleteWe call them sneakers here in the States and I wear mine almost non stop. They do get grungy way before the soles wear down, which is too bad.
ReplyDeleteChanging them for more formal footwear is quite a shock to the system!
DeleteAlways good to get a new pair. I am due. Mine have been through the wash a few times :)
ReplyDeleteWashing machines are wonderful! ;-)
DeleteAmbos están muy lindos y yo tambien uso zapatos deportivos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThey are excellent and very supportive.
DeleteTrainers are so comfortable aren't they.
ReplyDeleteI have a pink pair :)
All the best Jan
I'm envious;-)
