Advantages: Damn good looking shoes

Disadvantages: Expensive and VERY difficult to find

It took me 3 weeks and about 10 hours of looking to finally track down a pair of Camper shoes. Eventually I bought a pair in Hull after disappointment in Cambridge, Norwich, Lincoln and York, but they were worth the wait!

This little-known Spanish company makes some of the best looking and most distinctive shoes around. They’re actually very comfortable, no need to wear them in and no blisters (which makes a nice change). The quality is good too although the soles will probably not last more than a year.

The only place I could find that sold them was Sole Trader, but I got terrible service at more than one of their stores and they didn’t seem to be bothered whether they sold me a pair or not. The manager at the Cambridge store was particularly rude. Anyway, a little independent shop in Hull had just received a delivery and they opened the box for me.

I now walk around town looking like a bowler (the shoes I chose look pretty much like bowling shoes), but it brings a smile to people’s faces.

£80 for a fashion accessory? Yes, it is excessive and I had to promise my wife I would get a good 2 years wear out of them. Anyway, I like them and I feel happy when I wear them .... sad, eh?
