It was time to buy some new hiking boots today. I’ve never really had much luck with them, I seem to have odd sized feet. They usually fit in the shops but after a few weeks wear, they begin to hurt.

But it was necessary so headed to the fairly new Cotswolds shop and had a look. The assistant there was very helpful and they went through a boot fitting process and pointed me in the right direction.

With any luck I’ve managed to get a pair that will fit and they were on sale into the bargain.
