No its not easy! she's not bothered about fashion (thank goodness) just comfort but as she doesn't walk so much, her feet have swollen a bit, she also has worn socks in shoes for a very long time now even in sandals. Really annoyed that M&S have changed their sandals she has worn them for years.
Brue have you looked at 'FlyFlot' they sell them in Pavers but they also have their own website, I wear these and have done for years, very comfy yet practical and some of them are fashionable
Malcolm, when you are dealing with someone in their 90's expecting them to put up with discomfort in their feet is just not right, their feet are more sensitive and at Mum's age I think she has suffered enough in her life.

So do I. Some of their styles are quite stylish and I must admit very comfortable. I was going to suggest trying Hotter shoes but others beat me to it. A friend of mine now has very swollen feet and couldn't find anything to fit so we went to Hotter and the girl was so very helpful and found her a pair.

Really pleased that your dog is on the mend brue. It is always a worry when our pets aren't well and then you have to wait for the results of tests. Hope he is soon better.

Tammygirl now I've had to look st Flyflot 😆. Some look very nice!
I wish you ladies shopping for mum shoes luck. I hate shoe buying because you can never tell how things will turn out but I too am like you Tammygirl i keep a good selection. And contrary to what Malcolm says uncomfortable shoes do not get comfy 😲. I have shoes that are really comfy for ages and suddenly turn on my feet and cause aching and blisters- no joke!
Try Josef Siebel I've had 2 pairs of their sandals, great for walking in, ladies will understand this comment 😉. They didn't turn in my feet and lasted for years. I'd wear with trousers or 3/4 rather than a skirt, unless I was somewhere I wasn't known 😉. I have shoes that are strictly for siting in 😂😂😂

I always find whenever I buy new shoes, they never feel comfortable at first but after I have worn them for a while, what at first felt like stiff leather becomes more supple. The shoes I'm wearing, feel comfortable now but they didn't when they were brand new.

We're due to finish work in 30 minutes time but it has been a quiet day. Not a single order, so huge saving in fuel costs to us but we still get paid the retainer.

Youngest son has been working in the Middle East this week and has just rung to say he is safely back home. I must admit I am relieved in these troubled times.

Good to know milliehull, extra worry when they visit troubled areas. Once a mum always a mum.
Our son home tomorrow for dental appointment on Saturday he'll be around but in and out until Sunday. 😃
It's still 16c outside here. It didn't get higher than 17 in the shade during the day.

Useful information on shoe sources, thanks. My mum needs some new ones, mainly for wearing in the care home. She did have a really nice pair of sandles, which she finds most comfortable. We got them from Go Outdoors, Merrells and not particularly cheap. She found them comfortable though, as they were fairly wide and had lots of Velcro adjustments, which we could set up, just leaving the last strap for her. She fell over a bit back and had to go into hospital, where they managed to loose them.😫 Not sure we will risk another pair at that price.

Just been watching the lovely Liz Bonnin gadding about the warmer parts of the world
!!Firstly they had the poor girl in the hot bits of Oz looking at the night sky, then the lass was climbing around Galapagos Isles when not getting into deep waters studying the life-style of the local Fauna !!
Talk about multi--talented or should that be Multi--tasking

My walking boots are Merrells SteveL and are really comfortable. I got them in a sale at Cotswolds Outdoors. Always worth trawling the sales on the internet to see if you can get your mother a pair at a cheaper price..

Have a great trip, where are you off to this time? We will be heading off in another month, hoping to go away here first for a few days.
Currently waiting for staff at ferry bookings to call me after having a 'CHAT' on line been over an hour no call yet.
Front and side garden path now all finished, just got to put everything back in the garden and sort out the chippings on the side garden. Everything is just muddy at the moment as we had a fair bit of rain last night and more to come today I fear.

It's a bit of culture for me this afternoon. My grandson's after school drama club is involved in a presentation of The Tempest in one the local parks . A number of schools are doing a scene each, it could take a while. I'm not sure about the wisdom of al fresco theatre in March and I asked him what would happen if it rained. It'll be ok he said were doing it in the bandstand and it's got a roof. What about the audience I asked."You'll get wet" he replied. I'd better take something to sit on and a gamp.

Papgeno take something to sit on and something to shelter under as well as layers of clothing. Outdoor performance in March in UK seems very ambitious. Seems the performers will be OK whilst on stage but waiting, changing etc seem to lack the dressing room 😲
