Got these in the sale, wasn't sure about the colour but actually really like them on.

Nice!

Ok, so, these were a present, but still.

Best sort of present really - something I really wanted, but I just couldn't justify the expense.

I'm so pleased they turned out to look exactly irl like they did on the screen. Thanks Mrs St8

Bought these for summer:

They’re too small, or they pinch, or is this just how sandals are? I’ve never had a comfortable pair of sandals. I’m beginning to suspect there’s no way they can be comfy cos a strap will always rub or pinch. Maybe I’m doomed to wearing trainers.
Update: I only use these to put the rubbish out now, but they still look awesome with socks:

So, after trainerfest the other day, these are also a present and I am now all shoe'd up for the coming year (and beyond, my last Cat boots were good for years - maybe 7? - without any attempt to fix them at all, so if I actually look after these ones, who knows how long they'll last! For anyone who cares these are the eColorado, the "Eco" version of the classic Colorado. No, they aren't that Eco, just moreso)

Got these in the sales for summer - one of my pairs of sandals broke and the other (that are not dissimilar to these) are on the verge of falling apart. I now have to find a cobbler to attach an extra layer or two to the sole of the left side one due to my different-length legs, which is a problem when I'm not going into the office, as I think I've found both local shoe repairers have just gone 'Nah, can't do that' when asked, unlike the trusty Timpson's near my office. That said, hopefully will be visiting the office again before I need to wear these.

Dunno where else to ask this, but does anyone on this thread have experience getting alterations done. I bought some very nicely tailored work trousers online and they're purposely unhemmed for individual alterations to be made, but I have no idea how to do this. Am I supposed to measure the hems myself, or do I just go into the tailor's with the keks and they do the rest?

The latter - that’s what tailors are for! They’ll get you to put them on and then ask you where you want them to sit etc
