Just ordered Clarks Originals retro sandals!

these

arf @ beaver pissing all over the op's orthopedic parade

Quite.

Makes no odds to me though :) Part of the reason I like them is because not everyone else will. They WILL look cool.

Anyway, what's everyone else going to be wearing, so I know where I'm going wrong. Would love to know.

I'm chuckling at Phillip from Cardiff's review.

Bless him

Yes, he sounds a bit like Abetadad

everlong do you think it might look a tad matronly though?

i bet philip from cardiff has a very neat grey beard

I love them, OP.

Although, I dress like Dot Cotton so....

Thank you, Alistair, you clearly have style :)

I bought them last week and love them too.

She's a very stylish woman...

I've always thought so.

My dearly departed uncle used to wear jesus sandals and a knotted hanky on his head, kind of a bit like \link{http://www.hymerclub.co.uk/ten10pics/ten54.jpg\this}

Yes, thtat's the look I was going for

the clarks retro ones would be great for dd's gap yah travels ,will suggest them to her

AROOBA

My tit klaxon went off

oh and OP PLEASE make sure you shave your toes before wearing those sandals

they tread a VERY fine line those shoes.

they're like something out of the Hotter catalogue

There's retro, and then there's just ugly...

I had those sandals for years in navy, as did every other (middle class) child...I think it was compulsory in the 70's/early 80's.

They DO have the whiff of the librarian about them

I think you should grow leg hair to wear them op

scaly heels a must with those beauties

I actually like them [terminally untrendy emoticon]

But yes, I do remember them, I think I was aged around 8 or 9, mine were navy, knee lenght socks and my fave navy summer dress with ditsy yellow flowers on...
Those were the days.... [nostalgic]
