Not great about the shoes Dusty. Hope it is all sorted out quickly.

I’ve politely let them know I’m not happy receiving second hand shoes , it must surely be Ecco ( brand of shoes ) quality control issues as I had the same thing happen with same brand of shoes a couple of summers ago ….( only they were sandals )

I’ve politely let them know I’m not happy receiving second hand shoes , it must surely be Ecco ( brand of shoes ) quality control issues as I had the same thing happen with same brand of shoes a couple of summers ago ….( only they were sandals ) If you need used shoes, I could send you some! :>) When we married, I couldn't believe the dozens of shoes my new bride owned. Her shoes took up more space than our meager furniture!! She has evolved significantly from that to a more sensible collection. We took a long trip a month ago, or so. Were on the road for 10 days. Got home and she could not find a pair of her favorite shoes. She called every hotel where we had stayed, hoping someone found them and she could have them mailed to us. No luck! Flash forward to this past week. She had brought home a bunch of groceries in the trunk of her car. As usual, I jumped in to unload them and carry them into the house. Up in a corner of the truck, I spied an old grocery bag. Reached in and retrieved it. Sure enough! There were the shoes she had "lost". Thought she would raise the dead with her screaming that she was reunited with her shoes. Sheesh! You women and your shoes....... :>)

I have never been a big shoe owner. I buy good quality shoes and I am prepared to pay for them especially these days. I need a lot of cushioning in shoes. The athletes foot is my first port of call for walking shoes and sandals. I actually wouldn't mind a leather pair of short boots. I am so pleased that the favourite shoes turned up.

Same here joybelle I don’t own allot of shoes but what I have is mostly Ecco because they give my leg ankle that I fractured good support as well as being comfortable and removable inner soles /orthopaedic for arch support even my outdoor gardening shoes are supportive I only wear different shoes with a small heel for dancing ……that I had made to suit my feet , other than that I wear lace up shoes My used shoes came from a shop that specialises in supportive / orthopaedic shoes , however I phoned the shop in Adelaide called Grundys shoes …. yesterday as I was concerned it had been longer than 14 days since they’d been delivered and I wouldn’t receive a refund. She told me they don’t actually send them out from the store , they are sent from a warehouse in Melbourne so they have been purchased / worn by someone / returned and not checked before being sold “ again” They cost me $175 .00 for second hand shoes ….no think you …

joybelle I lived on a huge farm. 20.000 acres ( it was a job ) prior to meeting DH in 1986 , I used to assist in packing meat for the farmers freezer ….he also used to sell lamb , cut and packed it was a hard job so I fully understand the work involved ( he didn’t have cattle tho )

Trouble sleeping due to overtired from the heat, noisy fan, etc. Up around 2 a.m. to begin working on Forum Games and Wordle. So, if I made some error, this morning, blame it on the weather...not me!!! :>)

"Only" in the mid 90's F, the next few days. Still high humidity so will feel warmer. Seems as the years have gone by, I can take the cold better than the heat. But, we can't change the weather so have to make the best of it. Thank goodness for good home cooling systems.
We play golf early mornings to stay out of the heat. Our tee time now is 7 a.m. We play quickly, so I'm back home by 10:30ish...and usually find my bride still snoring away. But, the dog is good company when it's just her and I awake!! :>)
