Default Shoes for gardening

Two that are nationwide are Blacks and Cotswold but there are some
real specialists out there especially in the Lake District. Good excuse
for a holiday?



Thanks for the information Bob, unfortunately not an excuse for a
holiday as I live only 10 minutes walk from Fox's the outdoor shop and
we have two more in the town
As a member of the ramblers I can get a discount as well . I'll look
tomorrow.
I was also told to try men's shoes as i have flat feet which means my
feet are quite wide. I have got Mendl walking boots (men's ) for that
reason.

The same person said they'd bought ladies boots as they have a high
instep and so narrower than normal feet.


At the moment I use Hotter shoe, very comfortable but not hard wearing
enough really.

Help appreciated!

Janet
