In this spirited memoir John Mortimer, an esteemed barrister as well as novelist, playwright, and journalist, relates all the paradoxes and pleasures of his double life.With wit and style, Mr. Mortimer takes you from his unusual childhood (his father, a blind barrister, insisted that his wife read the sordid details of his divorce briefs in public) to the dilemmas of his life as a barrister (one of his clients indignantly declared, "Your Mr. Rumpole could have gotten me out of this, why the hell can't you!").
Filled with laughter and a sense of the absurd, Clinging to the Wreckage makes it clear why John Mortimer has been called Noel Coward, P. G. Wodehouse, and Evelyn Waugh rolled into one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean Look, Comfortable Ride
Size: 11.5 Wide, Color: Woodbury Handstain
The Cole Haan Men’s GrandPro Tennis sneakers are a perfect mix of laid-back and polished — the kind of shoe you can wear everywhere without thinking too hard about it.
Right off the bat, the design is subtle but refined. They’re minimalist enough to pair with jeans and a hoodie, but they also work with chinos and a button-down for a more put-together look. The “tennis” aesthetic keeps it classic without feeling like you’re wearing athletic shoes.
Comfort is where these really shine. They’re lightweight and cushioned in all the right places, so long walks, errands, or standing around at events don’t end with sore feet. There’s no stiff break-in period — they feel good from the first wear. The sole has just the right balance of support and flexibility, which makes them easy to wear all day.
The materials feel good too — soft, sturdy, and not flimsy. They hold up well after repeated wear and still look fresh even after a few outings. They don’t crease or scuff up excessively, which is always nice.
If I had to point out a downside, it’s that they’re not performance sneakers for athletics — but that’s not what they’re meant to be. They’re lifestyle shoes that look great and feel great for everyday wear.
Overall, a solid go-to sneaker that elevates casual outfits and keeps comfort front and center. Easy recommend if you want versatile kicks that stay stylish without being loud.
I was able to pick up this particular pair here on Amazon for 50 bucks, 56 total with everything and honestly I’m still scratching my head in that deal. I mean my New Balance were 70 bucks or something like that.
These are brown leather, sophisticated and comfortable, just amazing shoes. I get compliments all the time.

Size seems spot on shoe is beautiful
Size: 12, Color: White
These are beautiful shoes. A great cross between the ubiquitous flat as a board shoes like vans and tennis shoes. More comfortable than the super flat shoes and more formal than sneakers. Very soft leather. Not much arch support and I don't know if an insert would fit well. I am between an 11.5 and 12 in most brands (actual foot length from heel to tip of big toe is 11 and 1/8 inches). These fit perfectly in a 12 with room for comfort. An 11.5 probably would fit but snugly. I do not agree that they should be sized down at least based on my experience. If you can get these for under eighty dollars like I did they are well worth it. I'll be wearing them all summer.

Weightless, well made. But there are problems with size
Size: 8.5, Color: White
I bought it for a teenager, for size 81/2. This, according to the dimensions on the page, is 25.9 centimeters. They came, the size was indicated correctly, but they are large for the child. Very large. They fit me, size 10. The child is disappointed.
Well made, look neat on the foot. Almost weightless
But I can't give the maximum rating. I wish the seller to deal with the size grid.
