An Amazonian adventure, Keen Sandals, Housebound Pete, lacklustre feet and the adventure seeker Clive Gussop.

Once upon a time there was an adventurer. If you need a name it was Clive, but his name is almost as beside the point as the letter that ends up next to the upcoming full stop. You see this adventurer was little known, albeit hardy and wise – but for the fact that he forgot to take his all essential Keen sandals on his greatest ever expedition…

Indeed there were two things that slowed down Clive Gussop on his intrepid Amazonian explorations.

One, quite prolifically was his mate Housebound Pete. Clearly not built for an exploration into the deepest Amazon – Housebound Pete was more likely to ‘build’ up a sweat while taking a short walk to the front door to take collection of a pizza. Not only was this choice of accomplice lacking in orienteering credentials – he was the fattest most unsightly abhorrence ever to be seen in the depths of the Amazon.

Indeed the words ‘build’ or ‘built’ continue to apply when referring to Clive’s choice of footwear which was the other thing to slow him down. You might say his shoes were about as well built as an Italian engineered folding moon buggy.

Needless to say they were not Keen sandals. And needless to say his Amazonian adventure lost momentum because of this oversight.

Highlighting the difference between oversight and overweight – to Clive’s unending disappointment Housebound Pete had chosen to bring Keen sandals. However unsightly and unlikely this overweight gifford seemed on this once in a lifetime adventure – he had made no error in his footwear choice. Keen sandals and Housebound Pete were as snug together as used to be the case with him and his stack of takeaway menus. He was carving through the Amazonian trails like the proverbial pizza slice – thanks in no small part to his footwear choice.

You see, rarely do sandals offer you grip, toe protection, freedom, cooling and stability. But Keen sandals do all in abundance.

As Clive Gussop found out, acheing feet are the heaviest burden on the explorer who has to trek with supplies, abseil, canoe, orienteer and hack through dense jungle – and shoes that can themselves carry a heavy burden (i.e. Housebound Pete) make the job a whole lot easier.

Due only to the fact that he was wearing Keen sandals, Housebound Pete was in good comfort – and indeed due to the intensity of the heat, humidity, challenge and lack of convenience food – he was in much better shape.

Clive who was rapidly becoming a secondary character in his own adventure story to someone who previously waddled, at best, like a penguin with haemorrhoids – was close to tears while Housebound Pete was now bounding through the most intrepid adventure of his televisually fuelled existence, overcoming obstacles like a hurdling gazelle, seeing the sights and enjoying the breathable comfort of his excellent shoe choice.

Indeed all was hunky-dorier than humpty dumpty prior to his sit down upon a certain fateful wall for Housebound Pete who was now little more than podgy. Whereas for Clive all was less hunky dory than it was for humpty when he finally realised what an omelette was. Clive had the single most cheesy, steaming, rotted and gangrenous pair of feet ever seen in any corner of the former ‘French Empire’.

As ‘Rotund Pedro’ (as the Amazonian villagers began to call him) approached the finishing line – poor Clive was left rueing the single worst footwear choice made by a human since the 60’s – having given up his dream.

So you see – adventures are better when you have Keen sandals!

Queen Kylie II and the land of automatically assigned names now have something to trumpet (if not wear) in the form of Emu Australia boots!

The women of Australia haven’t had anything much to celebrate since they were renamed ‘Kylie’ in the 90’s. Admittedly Sheila was getting a bit tired and for a while they didn’t look confused or go up at the end of their sentences? But now a celebration is very much in order – thanks to Emu Australia boots.

Inhabiting a harsh environment, contending with dangerous animals and fending them out of the house, Australian women have had it hard. Life has certainly been no picnic for Kylie, Bronwyn, Madge or Sheila (Australian law dictating that females must have one of these names).

Not only has life been a challenge – these Queens of Australia have been paired up with brazen descendents of convicts who have automatically been named Lachlan, Murray, Bruce or Shane. Furthermore they have had to tolerate not only their beer swillery – they’ve had to put up with their gone fishin’/ surfing/ gambling/ to be found lazing on the beach – attitudes.

Australian women are some of the thickest skinned in the world. Think of Madge off Neighbours – her voice alone could have curdled milk. Think of Australian women and our minds immediately turn to the Queens of Australian soap – but actually Australia has a Queen – Queen Elizabeth the Second – so would she actually, technically, be considered an Australian woman?

Thinking about it she has the credentials.

Emu Stinger

Women’s Shoes

Trained as a mechanic during the war, she proved herself a battler. And she is certainly no stranger to the bizarre as highlighted by her title The Paramount Chief of Fiji.

But it goes beyond that. Our hardy Head of Commonwealth, the Queen of no less than 16 Sovereign States, the most eligible bachelorette the world has ever seen and certainly a good looker in her day – shackled herself with a man who needs a great deal of preening before he’s let loose on the public, and, despite instruction from a whole team of advisors, still manages to say the most politically incorrect and embarrassing thing possible in every situation he’s placed in.

Australian women, perhaps above women of any other Commonwealth realm, must identify with the Queen and of course Women’s shoes.

Much like their monarch, challenges, hardship and patience make every Australian woman a Queen. As such they should be treated with luxury comfort and style.

This is where Emu Australia boots come back in with the surefooted prowess of a highly antipodean luxury to reward Kylie, Bronwyn, Madge and Sheila for everything they do to make life easy for Lachlan, Murray, Bruce and Shane.

Emu Australia boots are made from high quality sheepskin making them as comfy as a pair of baggy hangover pants, a Hungarian goose down duvet and a comforting head stroke – and they have great looks, dare I say it? To boot…

They are the ultimate reward not only for Kylie, Bronwyn, Madge and Sheila – but for the typical British woman who undergoes her own kind of much colder hardships and seeks a little something cosy as we head towards winter. I’m sure that as the Head of State of Australia, QEII is technically a citizen of Australia – and as a British woman suffering the onset of winter and the hardships of both hemispheres, perhaps it is she who is most in need of a pair? Perhaps she owns a pair to wear around the house? Who can speculate?

Emu Australia boots available at Shoes are something that Australian women, Queen Kylie and indeed the women of the world – can celebrate (if not wear).
