I know I should be talking Céline-inspired silhouettes and tartan
trousers but it’s sunny again (last week I got vey confused when it was raining and I had to wear proper shoes) and I’m thinking sandals. Ancient Greek Sandals. Produced in Crete by artisans and worn by celebrities in La-La
Land. And finally, I get the SJP shoe thing! Not the Manolos or the Jimmy Choo’s but the off-duty shoes. This summer, SJP has worn Swedish Hasbeens, with socks – I must try this as I’ve spent months trying to break mine in – and a pair of AGS wedges. We share a love of comfy shoes. That is our age.

This is the company
that created the men’s winged sandal for Hérmes – oh yes they make mandals too – and there’s a Carven
resort range, out in November. And I’d quite like a pair of Ancient Greek Sandals for the last days of
summer.

But which ones?

I love the really simple ones in silver or the ones SJP is wearing. In fact, I have a pair just like that – though minus the hefty price tag 😉 – in tan leather which I have worn for the past 3 years. xo
It is our age indeed and I love everything SJP wears, except for the Hasbeens with socks, hideous!
I love these kind of sandals, I have a pair, handmade in St Tropez, that I have had in black patent for 20 years, they only get a few days a year wear now but I can't bear to let them go, they sell them on-line but that's not the same as the old man measuring them to your feet;

I think they are quite beautiful and stylish, but feel I must spoil the party a bit. I wore a pair of AGS as well as analogous Helmut Lang flat sandals stomping around Spain last summer, and earned a nasty case of plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the tendons holding together the bottom of the foot) for my trouble.
My 40-ish feet will be entrusted to Birkenstocks, Mephistos, or Clarks for summer touring, something with more padding and support, from now on.

The 2nd or the 4th pair for me, please! They look classic yet snazzy. Kisses
