Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

I have a pair of brown boots that I love. They’re incredibly comfortable and proof that cheap does not have to mean poor quality.

They’ve taken me to a variety of places. Sometimes just down the lane behind my house. Through the streets of York where I would take street photos. The twisting paths of Kilburn walk in summer, autumn and snowy winters.

They were beside my bed in hospital last December, although I was in a coma so I wasn’t aware of them until I became fully lucid, and felt strangely relieved when I saw them. I panicked when a member of staff moved them into the small wardrobe by my bed and so I couldn’t see them anymore, and glad when I found where they were.

They came home with me when I was discharged in January. And they are still with me when I walk into town as part of my attempts to get more exercise.
