I can’t find Adidas Nazareth sandals anywhere.

Did they stop selling them 2000 years ago?

Got some Salomons from 2004. It’s not that they are durable, it’s more the stink after 1 day’s wear that means they get 1 day’s wear per year.

Crocs are cool again…

“again”?

😉 @ernielynch

I have an old pair of Nike Air Rift – the ones with the camel toe (OOH ERR Missus) they are the most comfortable shoes/ sandals that I have ever owned. Hoping to get one more year out of them as they are not made anymore.

I wear flip flops/sandals all year round and they’re my most worn type of footwear by a long way. I hate wearing shoes.

Keen are the comfiest proper sandals by far for me, however the soles have degraded in 3 years and have become quite hard and slippy. They’ll be fine for knocking around for a good while still.

My preferred flip flop are Teva squidgy ones (not sure of name) with a canvas strap. Been in a pair for the last 12 months and they’re showing minimal wear.

Barefoot is my next choice!

.

If you have efficient swimming feet like me, i.e. flippers then the Keen range that colournoise mentioned

are the only ones as they are available in extra wide, plus the filled in toe box avoids any skanky nails on show moments.

New Rifts are being released this year.

This is a cycling forum, right?

Quite like the look of these – eco-tick plus available in freak sizes.

Decathlon own brand??

No ones mentioned the Innov8 Recolites yet? Had my first pair for 10 years, completely worn to shreds, but still going, they stopped making them, but they are now back… Questionable Khaki colourway aside, I just got a new pair in black and they are very good for summer.

There is only slides. And the best thing about them, you can wear em with socks and pretend you’re a rapper

Another one who’s had Teva’s fall apart in no time.

Replaced with a pair of karrimors Antibes that cost less than half as much, have lasted twice as long and are Uber-comfy

“Hiking sandals”. American hiking maybe.

Keen here. They’re a bit clunky, I could almost hike in them.

desperate – if you wear slides with socks you can imagine yourself to be rishi sunak; a true fashoon icon…

What did I ever do to you? 😟

Chaco Z2 Clouds are what river guides in the West wear. Super comfortable, and more secure than Teva’s or the Z1 style, you can step on the toe loop when wearing socks with no discomfort or bad effect.

What ever merrells you like the look of.

Usually get 5-7 years out of them.

Live in them Once temperatures allow -outside of work.

Anyone slagging off crocs while simultaneously punting those Teva monstrosities what are shoes with holes in rather than sandals……needs a shake.

Ps crocs are grand.

Not any year mate. Better take advantage of you of already being too far gone to care.

FTFY

Doesnt matter whether its “in” or not, if its on the feet on someone here. Its not “in”.

thanks for the recommendations and style advice 🙂

I’ve looked through them all, not the sliders though.

innov8 – in khaki that is truly wierd, no
Salomon Amphib 4 – no
Hoka one thang – no, though I’m sure they are comfy
Keen – some reckon they smell, others live in them for years. Someone hinted they don’t look that good. I’d agree with that. No, apart from using in the garden, but I have some far superior crocs for that. (though i may buy a pair if I get out hiking)
Chaco Z2 Clouds – interesting, the comments about being a bastard to adjust mean a no. though may revisit this in a year.
Teva’s – my wife reminded me I’ve had these before, they didn’t last very well and I didn’t find them very comfortable and binned them. So no.
Nike air rift – for some wierd reason, I quite like these, but not really the style I’m after.
Birkenstock – well I bought molgrips casts offs. Hopefully these are a better experience than before. Nearly bought these as well https://www.birkenstock.com/gb/bilbao-birko-flor/bilbao-core-birkoflor-0-pu-u_79.html?dwvar_bilbao-core-birkoflor-0-pu-u__79_color=79, but have so far managed to resist. They do look cool though.

But I went and bought croc flips:
Bought each colour, one for me, one for daughter with wide feet too crocs literide as they say – crocs ftw.

Then I procastinated and my powerful pain meds wore off and I decided that I’d had enough looking for boring sandals so bought these slightly hastily.
Pavers wide feet sandal
Rieker
Ecco chosen in haste

One of those is bound to do the job, the others will be returned. Which reminds me, I’d been bought a pair of Merrell Kahuna III Mens Sandals in Uk 10, which I’ve tried on, way too tight for my wide feet and the box was mistakenly used for a child’s art project, awesome – so they can’t be returned. Straight to the classifieds they go…

Or eastern European

I’ve just bought some Adidas slides – there’s 30% off on the Adidas store at the moment with a code (think it’s at Daily Mail online – no, I don’t read DM, just searched for a code)

Call me Rishi 😄
