Eventhough the famous shoemaking firms have always made sandals, l have never had a good collection of summer shoes for really hot days. For many years l searched for a goodyear welted sandal without finding anything, but l always thought that a good shoe collection must include some good quality sandals for those really hot days.
For now l am going to purchase the Crockett & Jones sandal at my local store. I will snag it tomorrow because these are difficult to come by. They may not be my favourite footwear, but for hot nights and casual days these will be a welcome addition to my collection. 2 pairs of sandals and a couple of pairs of mesh shoes is just about right to fill a collection. I would only wear sandals on the hottest of days, so maybe 15 - 20 days a year.
Crockett & Jones sandals
Of course my sandals will have combination heel and have the soles stitched on, and of course they will have shoe trees.
Edward Green sandals - make the nicest pairs
Church's sandals (not so nice)
Grenson sandals
Cheaney sandals
Vass sandals (have wanted these for years).
John Lobb sandals
John Lobb St James bespoke sandal
for those who don't mind sandals costing many thousands of dollars.
Edward Green alligator sandal - for those who have 10K + to spare on a sandal.
Anyone have sandals, what are your thoughts?
Prefer not to hear comments about sandals being girly (mary janes) and being for peasants etc, but l suspect l will probably get those comments anyway.
