Do these sandals exist?

I'm after two pairs of sandals, one red ( or burgundy) and one tan. Vaguely 70s, leather, strappy front. Not a clog or wedge, but not totally flat. A bit like Saltwater, but with a bit of squidge under the heel. Can't find them anywhere, but surely they must exist somewhere! 😁

I spotted these on the Saltwater site yesterday?

www.salt-watersandals.com/gb-en/boardwalk-tan-women.html

www.salt-watersandals.com/gb-en/swimmer-claret-women.html

I think both styles come in tan and claret.

Thank you both.

The first ones are no good, as I need an ankle strap.

The Saltwater ones are not quite right, although I'm struggling to think why. The Claret isn't the right colour, but there's something about the shape that looks 'off' to me too.

Am a big fan of Paul Smith, but not loving those. Too purple. Too much strap and not enough gap!

These are the closest I've found to what I want (and they are probably vile in everyone else's eyes but I really don't care about that), but they're out of stock in most sizes.

I have these and they are unbelievable comfy. Im going to buy them in black as well. I walked for hours in the blistering heat in Lisbon and the only thing not suffering were my feet!

These art

(that website has lots of other similar ones too)

The store sounds a bit like my beloved and salt discontinued Clarks Kestrel Soar sandals. They seem to be going for fortunes in eBay now.
Anyway, would Birkenstock Rio suit?

Seasalt and FatFace might be worth a look - lots of sandals.

M&S?

I've got these. They're extremely comfy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/06/2021 17:06

Thanks everyone. I was looking at both the Seasalt and M&S ones earlier and they are lovely, but look so flat that I just don't think they can be very comfortable. I might order some Seasalt ones to try, as I love their boots.

I have two pairs of Blowfish Malibu sandals www.schuh.co.uk/womens/blowfish-malibu-granola-b-vegan-tan-sandals/1744366260/

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/06/2021 17:09

Some of the Birkies are nice too but I've tried them before and found them too wide.

Are these any good, my DD (21) has them so surely not too frumpy!

I've got some Tom's similar to these and find them more comfy than saltwater sandals. www.toms.com/uk/tan-leather-womens-sicily-sandals/10013440.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5PGFBhC2ARIsAIFIMNfM2RALNUjrL-pcbRucZwKuoCeElhrNQe6StDxxY_WoAn9DWWQ_G5waAgucEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
