Anyway, they fit the bill according to your list - phew! <BR/><BR/>I've tended to go for the Grosby kids range. They appear a little more sturdy than some of the others in the cheaper range, but have that sueded leather on the insole (so I'm hoping they're comfy too). Shame to hear about the blunnies though, I was kinda hoping to get him a pair next winter. Oh well...<BR/><BR/>I used to be quite flexible - I used to be able to sit down and flip my ankle around my neck. I've lost that flexibility now, but I can still do the lotus position quite easily though.caramaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424093087905485630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-1163570638086743622006-11-15T17:03:00.000+11:002006-11-15T17:03:00.000+11:00Such good news about master loosey goosey.

Also a pair of Osh Kosh which are much loved, Nikes and Adidas. Did she recommend any particular brands? Or did she say just to look at those components and find the shoe that fit them, rather than the brand? (Complicated question, I know!)<BR/><BR/>I wish I was a bit loosey goosey, let me tell you.
