Before the week is out... Wear these

HANDS UP anyone who is guilty of ruining the backs of their shoes by squashing them flat like an espadrille. Cunning shoe-maker Enshallah has spotted our little foible and designed a range of leather slippers with a special squashable back. Slip 'em on, kick 'em off and they'll still look pristine. They come in a range of bright colours and fake furry hides. Called The Baboosh, even their name's funky.
