you can get the real crocs of ebay, better and longer lasting than the cheaper alternative

Am hlad we could have been some help. How are your feet now?

I have to disagree about the cheap crocs - I have a pair that cost £8 and have done me proud for 3 years (and I'm really hard on shoes

) I wear them a lot - even feeding pigs/ponies. They're fab and super comfy

But from painful personal experience I can say they're definitely not blackthorn thorn proof!

I get myself a nice pair of trainers, new balance or the likes, proper comfy. But still back to the big boots for ponies etc.

I'm supposed to wear my NHS issue support shoes that are made for me but my feet swell so much that they are even more painful so it's crocs or flipflops for me. I don't usually wear the flip flops when doing things with the goats but I must admit I did today.

I've just experienced a downfall to Crocs. An elderly whippet absentmindedly lifted his leg and filled one....and yes I was wearing it at the time!

Sorry I was just really laughing then, can't stop

unpleasent for you though I am sorry that happened

My crocs have bite marks in from when my beardie used to chew on them as a pup. Clogs though are an excellent choice, I had a pair many years ago very good. Also what about goloshes?

I rather think boots are like coats and you can't have too many.

I wish you could persuade my husband of this Harmony. Last time I bought shoes I got "For goodness' sake woman - it's like being married to a bl**dy centipede!"
