New shoes

A belated Chrustmas present from Harry!
I have had my eye on these shoes for a couple of months now....I love brogues.
We went in to Garstang for a pair of socks for a friends 50th birthday...Barbour fairisle....I would have liked a pair of those too but they were men's only!
I was going to put this shot in my extras but as I have been really trying to reply to every comment at the moment I decided I couldn't handle two pictures! Only one post a day I think.....I have loved the chit chat that comes from lots of replies & I will carry on as often as I can but won't always be possible.

Three good things:
1. New shoes of course!
2. A surprisingly cheap quote from the garage for my car service. Even though it's not actually due until September Harry is a great fan of clean oil & filters & thinks these modern cars go far too long between services!,
3. A long talk with #1 son this morning.
Good sensible looking shoes to keep your feet warm and dry in the winter.. Harry sounds so much like Georgie Boy.. must be a farmer thing.. good to have a catchup with the NZ news..

Very pretty Brogues Pat I think you may have been a Mod ett In your time as I have Brogues too .
January 22nd, 2015  
I bet these are comfortable
January 22nd, 2015  
Very nice - pity you couldn't have the fairisle socks too!
January 22nd, 2015  
v smart! I love brogues too. Bought some green suede ones with pink laces recently.
January 22nd, 2015  
And yes, you need some of those socks too!
January 22nd, 2015  
Love the shoes Pat. Shame about the socks. Good capture of your feet. The only time I get my feet in a photograph is when I'm trying to do sneaky street photographs and I get confused!

@julzmaioro yes a so like a farmer Julz......a change of oil is as good a service you could ever need! Perhaps he & Georgie Boybare right!

@jennywren Will be walking with them soon when they come over on holiday Jen!

@gerry A moddette Gerry ....I like it....you could be right too!
January 22nd, 2015  
Very nice too - hope they were in the sale! I love your chit-chat too Pat, and the fact that your daily shot gives a window on what you're up to, not just a shot for the sake of it, which I do sometimes.

@rosiekind They seem to be at a first try in Risie...will be disappointed if they aren't!
January 22nd, 2015  
@dide Yes the socks were lovely...I think the smallest men's would be too large!
January 22nd, 2015  
Love the shoes Pat - smart and sensible -- love the two tone effect !
January 22nd, 2015  
@jantan Green suede with pink laces sound gorgeous Jan......I am finding I am wearing more & more sensible shoes these day....so good that they are all in high fashion & don't look frumpy!
January 22nd, 2015  
Your welcome Pat I am using my mobile to comment as not on laptop yet and the keyboard has its own spelling or should I say it will spell what it thinks It should hence why Moddette shows it has been spelt Incorrectly.

I like! Great stitching detail. And they will only get better with age
January 22nd, 2015  
Sensible shoes. You should get some good walking in those. I love leather because you can get a good shine on them. { my husband always cleans my boots]
January 22nd, 2015  
@thistle ha ha Joyce...I have lots of out of focus shots of my feet !
January 22nd, 2015  
@busylady No hang my head in shame they were not in the sale....I never like the sLe ones much...that seems to be the problem with shoes imlike! Thank you for your lovely words Judith. I often think my shots have no photographic content at all but I like to run it as a diary....I need to run it as a diary to find out what I have been up too!!
January 22nd, 2015  
@beryl That was the bit I like too Beryl......the heels are lighter brown too to match the fronts but couldn't manage to show that off well! Thank you !
January 22nd, 2015  
@gerry I know the feeling well Gerry, mine writes anything it likes!
January 22nd, 2015  
@fueast That's what I thought Alison.....battered with a nice patina, that's the aim!
January 22nd, 2015  
@jtookey150 Does he Jean, that is really kind of him.......a good shine is essential!
January 22nd, 2015  
Very smart Pat!
January 22nd, 2015  
Nice! and being both brown and black are very adaptable!!
Thanks for the inspiration - I got new boots in the post today too so have just taken a photo of them!!
January 22nd, 2015  
Nice shoes, Pat. Love the leather laces
January 22nd, 2015  
They look too good to go walking through marshes and mud! Brogues must be an English word....not used here, I don't think! I sometimes post something on my extra album but don't expect comments - its just for remembering.
January 22nd, 2015  
They look super and very comfortable.
January 22nd, 2015  
Can't go wrong with tie shoes and leather!!!
January 22nd, 2015  
Bep
These shoes are made for walking...
January 22nd, 2015  
@sarah19 oh will check them out Sallie!
January 22nd, 2015  
@kimcrisp thanks Kim.
January 22nd, 2015  
@snaphappi The laces are long Maggie...a double bow will be needed!
January 22nd, 2015  
@maggiemae Yes brogues are pretty English maggiemae....they have little punched holes in a pattern like this, usually lace ups. Yes it is good for remembering things & if you have been somewhere special!
January 22nd, 2015  
@ceilidh Thank you Margaret......they seem pretty comfy but have only walked a shot way! Quite a narrow, they are Spanish!
January 22nd, 2015  
@bpaquette dead right Barbara!
@gijsje you are dead right too Bep!
January 22nd, 2015  
Lovely shoes, very sensible. My type of shoes too. You can keep your 6 inch high heels which make it impossible to walk properly. In winter this is my style of shoes and in summer it is sandals.
January 22nd, 2015  
@onewing High heals inwear very rarely although I was looking for a pair of black comfy high heels when I went into the shop originally as I have our dinner dance next weekend so have to dress up. Bought these I stead I will get more wear out of them! The old high heels will have to do!
January 22nd, 2015  
Classy all the way
January 22nd, 2015  
Fabulous new shoes, Pat. Harry is a sweetheart for extending Christmas with a gift you've really been wanting. Walk happy!
January 22nd, 2015  
Life's simple pleasures!

Very smart, just look so comfy 😊
January 23rd, 2015  
Enjoy

These are lovely! I just bought some new boots (ankleish) with wooly linings - much warmer and the other Timberland ones are wearing out pretty fast and are not fit for anything but dog walking. Dale bargain! I'd like a pair of these as well.
January 23rd, 2015  
Sale bargain!
January 23rd, 2015  
FAB shoes!!! Looks great. Super color to wear with anything. Very snappy looking!
