Nearly all of us wore brown leather sandals like those, way back in the mists of time !
I even have pics of my own children wearing similar ones made by Clarks but by then you had a choice....brown or red & they didn't X-ray your feet anymore !

Yes Helen, I remember those shoes very well, mine seem to attract dog poo where ever I went.
