I have been buying backdoor shoes for years after seeing them at the Southampton Boat Show 15+ years ago. I think the company was new at that point? I have bought numerous pairs for gifts and have 3 pairs for myself. I love them! They are comfy and practical. Ideal for gardening, popping out of the house, camping trips, beach trips and more. I love my new pink trainer style ones, I also have the brown brogue style which are witty and cute. In the shed I have my oldest pair - the grey daisy ones, which I can't bear to throw away. I also love that you can buy new insoles for them.
