I went out first thing to buy a pair of robust hiking shoes. I need to get wide-fitting ones which turn out to be rare.
I tried Sketchers as I have some very comfortable wide-fitting walking shoes but as we will be doing some hiking in Australia I need some stronger shoes or boots. I prefer shoes as I don't plan to do much hiking or tramping at home and boots would be a bit of overkill.
Sketchers didn't have any hiking shoes and the ones I identified on-line at Mac Pac were unavailable in my size so I crossed Willis Street to Kathmandu and bingo - found some Salomon hiking shoes in wide fitting that had just come on sale today at 40% off. $228 instead of $380. They fit well and are comfortable as proven on my walk home and I'm going to head out for another walk soon - maybe to the botanic gardens.
I plan to boost my walking over the next 6 weeks to wear the shoes in and to get a bit of extra fitness for our holiday. I guess that we will do a bit of walking and hiking while in Oz and I don't want to be flagging.

Pull your pants up, Peter.
Hey, with your wide feet, you might need duck shoes.
Watch out for quacks in the pavement when you're out walking.
Oops - I wrote too soon. It's started to rain. Good for ducks though. 🦆
Well done. Big discount.
