Seasalt are no longer selling shoes apart from some slippers. My best sandals were from there, called First Chorus
There's a size 3 on ebay, I'm a size 5.
The reasons they were so suitable for me at work are: toe and heel covered, low heel, buckle closure rather than velcro, quiet sole when walking, comfortable, substantial with a thick strap and the colours were good.
I've checked some other sandal threads on here but I can't see anything as good as these. I bought some Celtic and Co fisherman's sandals, they had a noisy sole plus the leather around the buckle was so soft it tore after a couple of try ons. I bought a pair from Hotter but the velcro strap is too short to tighten properly.
Any ideas of where I could get similar? They don't have to be fisherman style but I do need to cover my toes.
