Look what I bought!

The other day I stopped in an unfamiliar town hoping to find a coffee and have a little break on my journey. Typically, all the coffee shops were shut!
But my stop was still worthwhile because as I wandered around I had a quick look in a charity shop, and spotted these shoes. They appeared as new, the soles looked as though they had never been worn. They looked like my size too….not really expecting to be so lucky, I tried them on, and they were a perfect fit!
I’d never heard of the ‘Hispanitas’ brand before, but looking online it seems the shoes would probably cost between £50 and £100 new, although I can’t find any that look just like these. Perhaps they’re an old-fashioned style and that’s why someone decided to pass them on?
In any case one man’s trash and all that… I love them and they were only £5!

@Fleura I have a photo of my school shoes at home. I will try to post them when I get back home.
I didn't know about the "Mary Jane" stuff. Interesting story behind the name.
The Mary Jane shoes are still in fashion. I have seen them on many online stores

What luck! As long as comfy, it's great. I usually get jeans at thrift store.

Nice prices at thrift store. I always enjoy window shopping at thrift stores.

That was a good find. It is amazing some of the deals one can find in charity shops.
I had one particular shop that was an excellent source of name brand clothing. Unfortunately, it is too far away for me to shop there anymore. However, while I was closer to it, I did manage to score a number of quality pieces.
