I'm on a high. I've just splashed on a pair sandals - and I have been swanning around the office in the shoes pictured, marvelling at their beauty, and also marvelling at quite how comfortable they are!

Pictured here on our fine office fire extinguisher and on our finer office meeting stool, I'm not quite sure that our photography has done them justice - so let me tell you: they are red, they are sexy, they are sophisticated, I can wear them with jeans and dresses and they make me very happy. But above all that, they are so comfortable! I felt like cinderella trying on that famous slipper when I put them on in the shop! Josef Seibel is a German company which claims to offer 'the highest level of comfort' in its shoes. Company claims are not always fulfilled - this one is. I love you new sandals; I love you very much. Did I mention that I love you?
