new shoes

I bought these shoes two years ago (!!!) during the Black Friday sales, but somehow didn’t get around to breaking them in that winter. And then, yep, Covid happened. So last night was their Sevilla debut when I wore them out on a tapas tour. I was concerned I might get blisters so put a protective plaster on each heel. But it turned out they were snug but quite comfy. So between these and a barely used puffy jacket (also purchased two years ago) that I re-discovered in my closet I’m pretty much set up for winter wear.

So although I have been complaining about the stupid concept of Sevilla (and really anyplace outside the US) having Black Friday sales, this time I got to take advantage of this bizarre imported custom. Of course, since this has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, we have Black Friday Week here (duh) so I was able to find these Camper boots I almost bought last month on sale (20% off!).

The two Campers I bought two years ago are now showing their age. I mean, I like them so much I was almost going to just buy the same ones again, but then saw these boots, which are just slightly different from my comfy black shoes.

Then I saw that I could also replace my red ones with either of these two, which are also a bit different. But I can’t decide which ones I like better. Help?

I do love Skechers, ever since I bought my first pair of Go Walks in Málaga back in 2013. I’ve actually rebought that same style a couple of times since, and more recently bought these ones online, but as I couldn’t try them on first (obviously) they ended up not the best fit. Then today I was walking home past the Skechers store and saw these fun bling ones were on sale half price. And well, they are awfully cute, more shimmery than glitzy, and they fit! So hello new shoes!

Forget global warming! Sevilla is undergoing The Great Polar Freeze, which basically happened overnight. One day I was happily wearing my sandals (with a light jacket in the evening) and SUDDENLY it was so cold, well, THIS happened.

Checking back this is a full TWO WEEKS earlier than in 2017, ten days earlier than in 2016, and in 2015 it didn’t happen until bloody November 18th! I’m so sad about this. Especially because it was no fun stuffing my still bruised and swollen sprained toes into a pair of shoes last night. But the only other option would’ve been wearing tights with sandals, and well, no.
