Sandals like these- for grown ups?

A couple of years ago I bought some Clarks shoes just like these. They were super comfortable and were also suitable for work (v strict rules unfortunately)
I’ve worn them out now as I’ve worn them so much! Can anyone help me find a similar pair- but for grown ups? The ones I had were a slightly more pointed toe - not quite so rounded.

Any help much appreciated

You could try just asking for childrens shoes in your size.... you might be surprised by how high the sizing goes up (a mum I know does this with great success).

Look on eBay ?

captainflash · 25/05/2019 20:27

They are only toddler ones. I can normally get into a child’s size 5 but the most similar pair I can find are only for toddlersAngry

Are these close enough?

IDrinkAndISewThings · 25/05/2019 20:30

Do they need to have a covered toe?

Try Josef Siebel site, sorry but cant link

captainflash · 25/05/2019 20:33

Has to be closed toe and heel to fit in with work rules. It’s very frustrating!
Will look at the Josef Siebel site now

If you cant find it then look them up on the Amazon site, there are quite a few there with closed toe.

These are my knackered out old one. I’ve completely worn the tread off the bottom

It's the Rosalie range of siebel.

Have a read of the enbrogue blog for brand suggestions for flat shoes.

Drogosnextwife · 25/05/2019 20:49

Could you just get a new sole on your old ones. I've been doing that to a pair of winter boots for the last 3 years because I can't find any I like.

Rooftree · 25/05/2019 20:52

Oh sorry, I think they must be kids sizes

Rooftree · 25/05/2019 20:54

These are similar ? www.drmartens.com/uk/en_gb/p/23327001

captainflash · 25/05/2019 20:58

The cobbler I tried said that, because they are foam, it would be impossible to resole them. There’s nothing for it to stick to.
Those amazon ones are the ones in my original picture and the DM’s all sold out.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far

They had some last year that were a bit more cut out as well I think, possibly able to get them in an outlet.

Sorry, link didn't work properly, you need to copy the entire link to get the page, but these are the ones I was looking at, and there are others

These are school shoes, but a bit similar.
