They closed their factory and sacked their (reportedly) 350 workers in Tasmania to move production to India and Thailand, where no doubt they will only have to pay $350 per day for their entire workforce. We disown them! Sadly Blundstones will no longer be made in Australia.

I have the same problem with high arch and high instep. It has been hell lately trying to find a more substantial dress/work shoe than a ballet flat with a low heel, that doesn't have either a mary jane or an ankle strap, or that is a loafer. There isn't a loafer made that fits my foot, and all those strappy things just dig in and hurt my feet. I keep hoping that something suitably low-vamp with a heel 1-1.5 inches will come back into style SOON. Because soaking women's dress shoes in the bathtub is simply NOT an option!

Even though I have to wear a hideous orange jumpsuit for work, there's no reason I can't have nice work boots. What makes this even better is that I get reimbursed for them. Hooray for government jobs.
