SHOO OFF!

 I'm going to moan about something now so, if you don't like it you can shoo off and, on your way, look up the meaning of curmudgeon. Look, I'll help you:


You might remember that in previous posts I wrote about the trouble I had with a pair of hiking boots that were not a good fit for me. I gave these away to Robert.

I later purchased some Salomon hiking shoes which I wrote about:


It's turned out that these are hurting my toes and are not what was advertised - WIDE FITTING.

It looks like I cannot get a refund so I wrote a scathing review on Salomons' web page and on a hiking web page. While doing so I noticed that I'm not the only one who has had problems with these hiking shoes not being fit for purpose. See:




I guess I'll be using my Sketchers 'old man slipper' type shoes instead on the Kakadu day hike. While not robust at least they'll be comfortable.

Oh!
Thanks for that 🤬
I just got home and am about to watch the replay highlights.
Who would have thought - the All Blacks beating Italy?
