The Little Madam's girly pink trainers were getting a bit scruffy and one of the laces had already broken off. So I looked around on the 'Net for some replacements.
Bobux seems to be the king of baby & toddler shoes around these parts, and here are some examples to prove it. Aren't they just good enough to cover with icing sugar and serve on a doily?
But a friend of mine told me where I could find something just as delectable, for a much smaller price tag, and that's where I went.
So when the soft orange leather shoes with navy blue flowers turned up in my mail box, I was pretty keen for TLM to do the proverbial twirl in them.
I had quite of trouble getting her feet into them though, even though I'd ordered a grow-into size. Perhaps it was due to the extremely thick fur-lining, something I hadn't remembered seeing in the photos.
And then I had an A-HA moment. That wasn't fur lining. It was stuffing, purely for the purpose of keeping the shoes' shape whilst in the post.
Naturally, when I told the boy about my moment of daftness, he said I should blog about it to make you lot laugh.
Well, you made me laugh. I thought I was the only person who did silly things like that.
ReplyDeleteI could see the "lining" in most of the photos!
ReplyDeleteThere's the old story about the guy who was told to keep his jacket on a hanger, and after a week he said the jacket looks better but it's a bit uncomfortable...
ReplyDeleteBaby feet are already hard to get into shoes. I can just immagine how much harder they would be with the tuffing in them
ReplyDeletems mac: I do that stuff all the time. I think my brain needs a new motherboard - but perhaps a pre-motherboard might work better?
ReplyDeletethe editter: that's because you're a clever clogs:-) I was too entranced by the cute designs to notice what was in the bit TLM's foot was going to go into.
angela: yeah, at one stage I got one foot in and then realised her foot was almost folded over. Unintentional foot-binding!!
