Colour Clash

I have just noticed in one of those "how did I miss that before" revelations, that my new shoes don't quite match. They are two different shades of brown.

I am going to have to put in some elbow grease with the cherry blossom to even them out, I fear.

No way! As a result of polish or they came like that?!

I needed a new pair of shoes ages ago, and tried some on and they fitted, only one was lighter than the other because it had been in a sunny window display for a while, and they didn't have any other pairs. I took a discount on them thinking I could polish it out.

I've had these shoes for years, and despite occasional very thorough polishings, the odd one refuses to darken enough to make them even close to being wearable without embarrassment!

Caddyman has now passed my desk on several occaisions but has been travelling too fast for me to observe his different coloured shoes...

Blimey Clarkes you say ?


These bear a striking similarity to the Adlen 405 pattern boot worn by a certain Archaeologist

They aren't my feet !!!!

I simply did a search on photobucket for "Alden 405"

I can't afford $500 plus for a pair of Alden 405 pattern boots.

But those Clarkes shoes would pass as a poorman's equivalent shoe.

But the Alden 405 is the screen accurate boots worn by Harrison Ford in all four Indiana Jones films.....

you could leave the slightly darker one on the window sill for a day or two and see if that fades the colour a little - just enough to make them match - or did you already think of that?
