Didnt get them in the end.

Anyone recommend anything a bit classier than flipflop to wander around a beach on, my deck shoes are finally dead and I need something else.

Im in Sing this week and Sydney next week.... recommendations please.
Come Haan pinch weekender are a nice, comfy alternative to a deck shoe. Personally can't stand any footwear on sand though.
Lots of brands of sandals out there.
Timberland makes quite a large range if you want branded. Otherwise Deichmann has a large range at budget prices.
I wouldn't wear the traditional flipflop either. Detestable things.

Looking at the size difference, do they not look more like a his 'n hers set?

Teva stuff is pretty good.

I've had a summer obsession with Roman sandals. I have these in white and black also, along with another three pairs of similar styled sandals inc ones with a 4" heel.

Not bad for a fiver.



Also these Aldo ones which I love

They look pretty cool, but uncomfortable for long wear of calves aren't up to it?

Not a picture of new shoes I'm afraid but a question to the collective; what is the view on resoling Church's via their service?

I've heard it is not what it used to be and a decent cobbler might be a better value and quality proposition, especially as I am based in N. London. Any recent real experience would be appreciated. thumbup

No first-hand experience of Church's however, since Prada purchased the company the quality of their shoes has supposedly plummeted. I have not heard about their resoling but it wouldn't surprise me if that has also suffered the same fate and be more expensive into the bargain.

Personally, I would seek out a local cobbler with a good reputation.

Rare shoe buying from me, I'm not a regular in the thread but will have a read...

I couldn't resist the Cheaney's sale today. Also pictured my 2001 Custom Grade split toe Church's which will be kept in service.

Nice shoes. I can see some shoe trees, but have you been using them on the old Church's? They look too creased and curled to me.

They're very comfortable, ideal for club nights. Although I don't intend to wear them for long periods of time or mountaineering.

When in Rome.


Had these new ones on today. Probably not the best footwear for the job I was doing...

Not much split toe action on this thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one who wears them.
