Sandals with socks have become the height of fashion apparently courtesy
of a Mr D Beckham.

Should that not be the depth of fashion? A depth to which I have yet to
sink.

It's certainly a problem with the Shimano ones, although it only bothers me
when I wear them while sat at a desk or doing other lounging, and mine don't
come anything like as far up the front of the foot as Guy's seem to. I guess
a clipless sandal would need a more positive connection between the top of
the foot and the sandal than others though, so maybe the design requires it.

Those are Shimano, and the strap is broad, soft, padded and at an
angle where it's not a problem - I wear them as sandals too, and they
are fine (but too long, they are made for clowns with feet 1" wide and
9ft long, as with most Shimano shoes).

Ugh. Straps putting pressure on the wossname, where the foot
hinges with the front of the leg. That'd do my back in.
Why has it suddenly become so hard to get comfy sandals in the
past two or three years? Bloody fashion:-(

It's certainly a problem with the Shimano ones,

Dammit, bloody Clarks have been unwearable in recent years:-(

And those cheapo polish ones are getting ever harder to find:-(

Your feet may well be different to mine.

Mind you, I had a pair of Shimano boots that were so comfy, I sought out a
new pair once I'd worn them out.
