Feet size 13 (or 47 in Finnish units) -- Comment()
On Wednesday I bought a new set of shoes to replace my worn Eccos. There was a pair of Gore-Tex shoes by Sievin Jalkine (a Finnish shoemaker) at the shop for 30% discount. Suprisingly the size and shape of the shoes fit me perfectly. Usually I have trouble finding big enough and wide enough shoes., This time the first pair I tried on was the best pair of walking shoes I have ever owned. In fact, in addition to water-proof protection the shoes also offer anti-static protection, and other fine features besides. I'm a happy walker today. Especially as the Finnish weather now varies between frozen and melting snow, which is not so good for the shoes.
