Salt Water Sandals

[Ally]

Has anyone heard of these?

Our friends Jenni and Paul have a shoe shop in Towcester and I noticed on FB today they're advertising these and for the first time I've actually looked at sandals and thought oooh I like them.

I spend my life either in flip flops or Converse but at the grand old age of 60 fancy a sandal.

I like the red style in the background and the mustard style at the front.

They are nice I haven't heard of the brand before.

I like them, I’d go for a red pair I think

I know a few years ago they were the casual sandal of choice for middle class women along with Boden Breton tops and cut off chinos.

I think I read once that you should wear them in water for 10 minutes so that they mould to your foot shape.

The red pair is a deffo choice Jo.

Me and middle class do not belong in the same sentence. Ever.

[Kaz]

That’ll be why I’ve never heard of them!

I like the red ones, but I think the mustard ones look like men’s sandals. Never heard of them either.

Towcester??? My niece lives in Towcester Ally

Oh right.

Jenni and Paul's shop is in the Sponne shopping centre.

It's called 'zap and toes' which is a play on the Spanish for shoes zapatos.

Paul lived over here for about 6 years so that's his wee nod to Spain.

Jenni was a critical care nurse in Milton Keynes for many years but always had a dream of owning her own shoe shop! Random but true.

They're very happy there.

Did you know that we once had a shoe shop, I was even trained in shoe fitting by Startrite #factsaboutmeyoudontknow

[Ally]

I didn't know that Osc.

I think we should start a #factsaboutusyoudontknow thread.
