My new sneakers finally arrived last night, after UPS had proved their uselessness by being, in my experience so far, the only courier/postal services provider who refuse to re-deliver something on the same day, unless notified by 3.30pm. Both DHL and the normal Japan Post (Post Office), do this, which is very useful for me and everyone who actually works during the day. Anyway, after another multitude of frustrating trips to shoe shops where they laugh at me for being a UK 11, I decided to buy shoes from a shop in a country that apparently is also populated by non-club-footed people like myself. I've quite liked these vintage Elites for a while, but this was the first time I had seen them in my size and in an internet shop that would deliver internationally. Very pleased with them, but am slightly concerned with colour-matching/clashing with current clothes...oh well.
