Hiya

My dad has been looking for some sandals as he is one of the many that commit the tragic offence of wearing socks and sandals, but he is 79 bless him!!!
He wears the type that are open toed, and have a buckle at bottom of ankle but with no backs (heels) in then....Ive tried all sorts of places i can think and as we live near K Vilage would have thought they would have sold them, but none there.....Ive tried all internet sites i can think of but to no avail...
Anybody know of where he can get some like the above, he wont even look at ones with velcro.......His current ones are on their last legs...

    Hi Elaine

    I think the type of sandals you want used to be called 'Jesus' sandals. Hotter and Clarke's have some like that, but they might have velcro fastenings these days. If you look up 'Jesus sandals for men' on the internet, there are several firms which do the traditional buckle fastening.

    Hi Joan

    Not its not Jesus sandals, i know exactly what you mean as eveyone had a pair of them growing up in the 70's....He likes the type that have sort of 3 horizontal bands across the foot with a vertival one up the middle meeting a kind of bar with buckle.....Hotters and clarke's he has tried.....
    They got to be leather too


    Thanks anyway..

    Hi Elaine

    I saw some sandals on-line which might be the kind you are looking for. I've sent you a PM with the links.
