Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Nope. That Fabletics advert really grinds my gears. It looks like buying running kit but it's actually a subscription thing and they send you more each month and charge you. I've noticed a similar thing for shoes on Facebook. Why the hell would anyone need a new pair of shoes every month?

I hate having to buy new shoes and try not to do it. The last time I took my sandals in for their umpteenth repair the chap gave me a patronising look and told me to go and buy a new pair!

One of my best ever pairs of shoes was a pair of black high heeled courts from New Look that cost me the princely sum of £8. I probably spent ten times that on having them re heeled and re soled over the years before they had a fatal altercation with a door gripper. I was traumatised.

Fabletics?

The name is enough to make me wish sturm und drang upon them.
