I guess we all purchase new items when we book our holidays but this trip has really brought home to me how much footwear companies benefit from the tourist industry.
As we were docking the other day and all the tour goups were gathering to head off the boat I glanced down and was greeted by a sea of sparkly white new trainers.
I have since had a bit of a foot fetish and have noticed that all the trainers worn on board are also sparkly white so unless they are having them cleaned every day (and this is certainly possible with the attentive stateroom attendants - ours is called Dwen from Tobago) most people have bought at least two new pairs for this holiday.
Toe post sandals have also peaked in sales recently according to my (very unscientific) survey. And I will forever have mental picture of thousands of people panic buying trainers in the summer months.
