Hanwag banks low. Really disappointed with these expensive walking shoes. I've worn them just a handful of times mostly in dry weather. However, today was the first time in wet weather. They are not waterproof my feet and socks got completely saturated.
They are supposed to be waterproof.
My husband was wearing a much cheaper brand shoe and his feet remained dry. I know which brand I will be buying next time and it won't be Hanwag.

I bought 2 Mahon barrel lamps in the January sale for £29.00 each, usually retail at £42.00 each. The lamps and shades are lovely and are excellent quality and weight. It was a real bonus I bought them in the sale as I think even at £42.00 each they are well worth the money.

I bought the Baba large wide lamp and matching lampshade online, the positive is that Nkuku offered 10% discount on new customers first order, so instead of £179.00 I paid £162.00. That's where the positive ends. The lamp is described as hand blown recycled glass; there is a distinct join on the lamp, so not sure how it could have been hand blown??? The worst aspect is the poor quality. The glass body of the lamp is thin and lightweight, not the thick recycled glass you might expect for the price. The extortionate price far exceeds the quality of the lamp.
