Mission Impossible: Can ANYONE help me find discontinued clarks Kestral Soar sandals?

[JoyceDivision]

Size 5.

Not the linnet ones, the original kestral soar ones, any colour really

surely a shop somewhere has got some old stock in the bacl of a cupboard somewhere?

I got a pair in summer 2012, just before they discontinued them. very comfy, although I don't get the wear out of them I should (I mostly wear a pair of Sperry strappy t-bar sandals when there's a hint of sun). You're making me feel guilty! They had these heeled versions called Seren in the same colours; I keep checking eBay on the off chance someone's getting rid of a pair but no joy I don't know why the hell Clarks got rid of these great classic styles and replaced them with fucking moon boot sandals

there is a clarks outlet in hatfield is you're anywhere near there..

These Birkenstocks are similar.

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies!

All the suggestions are great,but they're just not the kestral soar...

Craic...get them on ebay you'll make a fortune!

TheCraic, I just gave a pair of Serin sandals away as I never wore them , bugger.

We should have a thread to check if anyone wants stuff before we get rid

Joyce, I will hunt for the sandals because you have the greatest MN nickname (no luck yet, though...)

Tethersend, whenever I see you on a s&b thread it usually ends well, so I am thrilled you're taking up the challenge!!

Maybe ask your Vicar ?

Uh-oh, no pressure

Similar?

My Vicar? Eh? Sorry, I might be a bit thick, I don't get it!

Or these?

um, no.... they have that wierdy heel thing, not uber flat with teh originals sole

Soz [BLUSH]

ffs!!

The blue ones too?

I need to look at the originals again

blue ones look like they are gpoing into non ironic nanna territory.

I am v v fussy.Basically, i luff the kestral soars, and trying to get a lokky likey is a bit like asking for gearge clooney but getting this: nearly, but not quite

eBay in blue but 5.5 not a 5.

Re: vicars - we used to call that style of sandals "vicar shoes" at school. Sorry, but tenuous.

???

Am coming up with nothing.

Do you have a saved EBay search? Make sure you save not just 'Kestral(sic) soar', but 'Clarks original sandal' and 'Clarks Buckle sandal' saved.

WE WILL FIND SOME.

(But it might take a while...)

Not being very helpful here but I have both of these sandals, my Soars are a size 4 and are very well used, haven't worn the Serens much but I think I will now hope you find a a pair soon.

This is a bit of a longshot BUT -
There's a small local chain (I think 3 or 4 branches) of old fashioned, traditional shoe shops around Huddersfield, called Wagstaffs. The Kestral Soar is exactly the kind of shoe they get. I can't imagine that their turnover on adult shoes is super speedy. Might be worth googling and giving them a ring. Branches are in Holmfirth, Meltham
and Honley. Possibly another one. Sadly they don't have a website.

I googles these as I didnt know what you were looking for
we used to call these jesus sandlas when I was young
and when I googled that instead I found quite a lot of very very similar ones
just a suggestion

Have you tried calling the outlet store in Street, Somerset?

There are some East German utilitarian sandals that are a bit Kestral Soar-ish on Amazon if you search "Jesus sandals".
