Here

I like them.

I'm not very good at flat sandals, but I need some... am thinking these.

Do your worst Grin

They're a wee bit too 'I am Spartacus' for my liking.

However, I'm quite cosy here in my fashion rut, I'm sure someone else will come along in a minute and give you a more incisive opinion!

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 10:10

But I am Spartacus Grin

That thought had crossed my mind too... but I think I like them regardless. they have a nice little wedge heel (I can't do completely flat) and aren't to spindly...

i like them very muchly and i want them

unfortunatley dh is gonna flip and burst his rectum if i keep buying stuff

pointydog · 22/04/2011 10:18

They're ok. JUst ok.

KurriKurri · 22/04/2011 11:11

I think they are OK, they'd look fine, - but they don't fulfill my requirement for sandals (i.e. very light and keep your feet cool). They are more of a shoe with holes in IMO.

I like but the are £££!

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 11:57

They are £££, but they're clarks and I think they'd be comfy

Arf at custardo's dh's burst rectum Grin

Anyone got any alternatives I could peruse?

Sticking to your theme of flat gladiatory (if that's what you want to stick to), I prefer these

cyb · 22/04/2011 12:05

They could make you look a little like you ahve a pointed hoof

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 14:45

Hmm, not sure I want to stick to flat gladiators, more that these ones looked nice IYSWIM.

Please link to other flat sandals you like Smile

I like the Rocket Dog ones that pointydog linked to.

What about these?

(in brown not silver, obviously. You don't want to look as though you've strayed from a Babylon Zoo video c. 1996, do you?)

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 15:38

Sorry pointy, I'm not keen on the rocketdog ones... they're a bit mumsy. I think it may be the cork sole that does it.

Expecto, I really like those- but they're not leather. I can't really do synthetics + hot feet Grin

OP posts:
pointydog · 22/04/2011 16:15

I do like cork soles.

I tend to go for chunky sandal soles to balance out chunky calves.

mollymole · 22/04/2011 16:17

ooh i do like those -

pointydog · 22/04/2011 16:27

I quite like these ones.

Longtalljosie · 22/04/2011 16:32

I like them a lot but I'm an 8 so that's me out. Buy them for me!

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 16:44

I quite like those, pointy... but not as much as the Clarks...

I'm going to order I think.

josie, I am an 8 too but always a 7 in Clarks sandals.

OP posts:
Whatevs · 22/04/2011 16:52

The Rocket Dog ones are nice.

The Clarks ones are horrible (sorry). They are just too full on Gladiator and don't look that comfy.

pink4ever · 22/04/2011 19:28

Ive said it before tethers but will say it again-you clearly have more money than sense! they are fecking fugly shoes! seriously.fugly.

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 20:24

pink, you have made up my mind- everything you like I hate, and vice versa Grin

We're made for each other.

I'm definitely getting them now Grin

(Although I am curious to see what sort of sandals you'd like Wink)

OP posts:
KurriKurri · 22/04/2011 20:37

I like these in raspberry. They have gladiator feel without being too booty. Are you committed to tan/beige or could you branch out?

pink4ever · 22/04/2011 21:10

tethers sadly I am numpty when it comes to links or would show you sandals I like! I am coveting a few pairs from Zara at the mo but unlike your good self I do not have money to burnGrin

moondog · 22/04/2011 21:12

Fucking hell, are you insane ???

They are minging.

Tether you have taken leave of your senses.

That horrid little heel and that vile stringing. It's sort of ..orthpaedic.

I am reeling tether.
You of all folk!!

TethersEnd · 22/04/2011 21:14

Let's be very clear about this. I do not have the money and am in complete denial Grin but i do need some flat sandals. My last pair lasted years but have had it now, so i am thinking of these as an investment piece Grin

Kurri, I really do not like those I'm afraid... they look like teachers sandals IYSWIM- and I am committed to tan. They have to be tan.
