We bought these reef sandals a few years ago, and I remember the occasion quite well.

We went looking for new sandals for my wife at a shop near to the beach.
Shoe shopping is always fun, and I can spend many a happy hour wandering around shoe shops with my wife, which is not how I feel about shopping in general.

On this particular day we were both in in shorts and sandals. I had already seen these particular sandals on one of my many "scouting" trips, and was hoping that she would like them.

She walked up and down the shop, and I tried to make constructive remaks about the security of the strapping ( I drooled )  We paid for the sandals and and headed for the beach so that I could take pictures of our latest purchase.  I kid you not. by the time we had completed our little photo session, I had to pull my tee shirt down to cover the damp patch in my shorts as walkers on the beach passed by.

I don't have a thing for the the actual shoes, and without the wearer they would be nothing, but I do love strappy :-)
