Good tip if you're in a rush Pam.
I knew there must have been another reason for the revolution. If I had to go through that to wear shoes I'd go barefooted

Haha - I'd never heard of that one. I'm with you, Bay - I don't think I'll ever try it!

Royalty I ain't!

I do like to treat my shoes well though.

I don't go through that whole palava but my shoes do get looked after.

I have pairs that are at least twenty five years old and still look like new.

Jezer I too have still German shoes from over 19 years ago when I bought some on my trip and they are still in perfect condition. My parents even have shoes from over 38 years ago. European quality is definitely better and keeping them clean,polished,well maintained...you safe so much money and it even happened that I was asked if my shoes were newOn the other hand my kids go through shoes like toilet paper
