These are lovely. They are the sort of thing I've seen before but can't seem to find at the moment. I'm sure I had something similar in the past. I feel sure there must be a supplier of something really similar, I just need mumsnetter wisdom!

I think these exact ones are on Toast at the moment! Hang on.

Oh! They’re not there - I was so sure I’d seen them ☹️.

Yes! They were, they've disappeared 😔

Yes I saw them there too. Op it's worth giving Toast a call as they are very helpful in checking for older stock, even if not current season you can sometimes get hold of a particular piece.

@Justkoko Here they are.

Yay! I have to say I’m tempted by the tan ones. Reviews say they come up small.

Justkoko · 14/04/2025 09:14

Just bringing this back up...I can't be paying £200 and I feel like it's the sort of shoe you'd see at a Spanish market. I just can't describe it to get the right results on Google.
Any suggestions? The peace of afrika ones are nice but I prefer the slimmer toe.
I used to have some red or dead very similar years ago but they aren't in business anymore afaik. Their leather shoes tended to be made in Spain or Portugal I think and were always lovely and good quality.

Love these, but out of stock and no idea on sizing with Clarks Originals anymore...I'd always be a standard size 5 in Clarks but I tried some desert boots a few years back and they were tiny!

The Clarks size guide has foot length and width info which is very useful, and they do free returns/exchange/free collection in store

Justkoko · 15/04/2025 12:23

Absolutely, but it does seem like the desert boots are smaller fitting so I've no idea what size I am. If I go off the size chart I'd maybe be a 6/6.5? I absolutely know in Clarks normal shoes my foot would be rattling around! I can't understand it!

John Lewis have a few without stitching plus a pair on an espadrille base. If you don't mind a different colour they have a pair in an oatmeal suede that are very similar. Charles Keith might also be worth a look - they have a similar style but the ankle strap is a cross over.

Justkoko · 16/04/2025 11:34

I can't seem to find anything similar. This is such a simple design I thought it would be easy😂

The Toast ones not on their site are made by Solovair. Maybe Dr Martens has something similar or try pre-loved?

There are others on there

The solovair ones are much heavier. Toast had that style ( they were Steve Mono) but have replaced with the ankle strap version.
i bought similar in Spain recently but they’re not leather they are canvas. Mine are green. I bought them in an actual shop not the market. I’m not sure a lot of the shoes in the market are leather.

EcruCardigan · 16/04/2025 19:46

The Toast ones from Solovair are quite substantial. They are not currently on the Toast site, which is why I mentioned the DMs. They're more winter shoes.

Thanks all, some of the links aren't quite what I'm looking for. It's hard to describe. A summer shoe definitely, docs are too heavy, yet ballerinas are too light.
If I could combine the sole of a menorcan avarca (rubber tyre type) with a stitched mary jane upper in a soft looking leather. In fact, an avarca but just with a mary jane upper rather than sling back!
I think the clarks are closest to the steve mono but sold out.
