literally another aussie in london

TK Maxx

I am not a big fan of shopping, i like my second hand stores, clothes or vinyl, but anything else is a chore.

Usually if i need something I use the internet, easy, clean, and it comes to me.

But I needed new shoes, and buying shoes on the internet always worries me, because i have an odd little toe, “the raptor claw” (named after the little toe of the raptor in Jurassic park), and without trying shoes on the claw can get damaged.

Sexy isn’t it.

As you can see here, the toe always gets a little inflamed, even by shoes I have had for years, so it is important to try them on first.

I was told the best place to get shoes was TK Maxx, so i popped in to have a look.

This TK Maxx place has everything, it is like a huge bargain basement bin, where all the unfashionable major label clothing can be found.

Being that I know nothing about fashion, and care even less about what is in right now, this is the store for me.

I now have a pair of shoes that are part loafers, part runners. Genius.

I found the perfect pair of jeans (sorry Iain).

Two pairs of shorts, a new back pack, 6 pairs of socks, and a pair of sun glasses.

All for under 100 quid.

They are all big brands: umbro, bench, volcom, sketchers, etc.

Why doesn’t everyone buy from them?

It’s cheap, doesn’t make you look like a wiggle, and seems to be put together well.

Although I am glad they don’t, as that will leave more cheap crap for me.
