Utterly heartbreaking read, my sincerest condolences to her sister and family. Made all the more heartbreaking by the fact that these stories seem to be getting more and more common.

I’ve not tried the brand myself (but am planning to) and I’m conscious it’s an expensive option, but I’ve heard Goral shoes have good repairability, as they are resole-able. Made in England if that matters to you. But without having tried them myself, it’s hard for me to give a full recommendation.

My reading was that the Judge was saying that, whether the climate crisis existed or not, it was irrelevant to the deliberations. This doesn’t necessarily call into question the existence of a climate crisis or give insight into the judge’s opinions. Still, the convictions in light of the UN report are chilling.
