KARRIMOR SALINA WALKING SANDALS CLOTHING REVIEW
WWW SCORE: 10/10
BRAND: Karrimor, Salina Walking sandals
PRICE: RRP apx £30 (often on sale for around £15)
I BOUGHT FOR: £15 from Sports Direct
AT TIME OF WRITING CAN BUY FROM: Amazon, Ebay, House of Fraser
This is my third pair of walking sandals - I love them! This particular pair was bought from Sports Direct for £15, and I bought these so I had a nice 'smart pair' to wear in black as my Regatta ones are grey.
I wore them for a days walk around Rufford Abbey - brand new out the box – with a spare pair of shoes, plasters and socks in my bag just in case – but these were not needed.
I did over 10,000 steps and only have one small blister at the top of my foot, wear the front strap sits - but I didn't even know about this or feel it until a day later.
The inside is shaped ever so slightly to hug your foot and has a soft warm material to it, which is nice. However - this does mean they're not the best sandals if you want versatility to paddle at the waterside.. for this, I cannot recommend the Slazenger sandals enough! You can read more on those here.
The soles are thick - with great tread - I didn't feel a thing on woodland terrain.
However, when walking 'off road' stones and debris can get caught between the skin of your foot and the sole - but what do expect in a sandal! I always find a quick shake of the foot and it tends to come loose if not these have quick and easy adjustable velcro straps to loosen and shake it out - and they just look lovely one with the Aztec style pattern.
Not much else to say really - for £15 I'm mega happy - just make sure you wear them in before you go on a big walk!
10/10
I will update again once owned for a few months/years
