For feet that swell during the day, our elastane collection, for men and women, is ideal - made with an elasticated fabric, they’re perfect for extra wide, swollen or misshapen feet.
Wherever you decide to picnic, always plan your trip carefully and check the following prior to travelling:
- Is there parking available?
- Are picnics are allowed?
- Before bringing a dog, is the location dog friendly?
- Are the on-site facilities easily accessible and there is assistance for those who may need it?
Always remember to take everything away with you, so these areas of natural beauty remain unspoiled.
