In this latest burst of enthusiasm for reinventing the body beautiful I decided to buy some trainers. Online JD Sports had a pair for £20 reduced from £40. That seemed ok. Delivery on all orders 2-3 days. Perfect, because I didn’t want the enthusiasm waning while I waited for my sporting attire.
Ten days later, the company can’t find my order. Phone calls and online tracking were a waste of time. I tried calling in the shop yesterday to see what could be purchased in store. Trainers don’t come in width fittings for some unknown reason and I have wide feet. Having tried on several pairs, it became apparent that if you paid over £70 they were a bit more generous with the material. For £150 there was a pair of Nike trainers that didn’t pinch my feet.

Over the road at Clarks their sales assistant got out the 3 pairs of trainer looking shoes in a G fitting. Like Cinderella,, I was delighted to find a shoe that fitted and was in the Sale at £32.50. Now, how to get my £20 back off JD Sports?
