It was Italian shoes my mother resorted to in Harrods - Ferrogama (sp?) or something. Unfortunately, Italian taste in shoes (esp in the late 80s) had a tendency to gold lame and overdecoration, which was a problem. When my feet finally got wide enough to fit *some* UK styles, my ma was greatly relieved. When I discovered that you could wear boots all year, I was relieved. But now I need work shoes.
The sandals that have lasted 15 years were 150 quid, if I remember correctly, which is a hell of a lot to spend on shoes for a teenager. But I have worn them a lot, over the years, and I still like the style of them. In fact, I gave serious thought to getting them copied last year, when I ripped them on an escalator. Instead, I mended them. But I'm still tempted to get them copied. Where does one get shoes copied?
