Yeah.. I think I'll call another couple of local cobblers up to see what they say.
I had to get over the whole socks+sandals thing, but it is a life changer - so comfortable!
MisterMikkel-
Today’s humid AF ride through very bumpy trails was surprisingly bearable on my cheap decathlons - maybe I’m just getting used to them? Been a decade or so but I grew playing footy barefoot on concrete/dry Middle Eastern playgrounds, so……
I am tempted - very tempted - to ride part of my upcoming Wales trip with sandals if I can manage it, and especially if it’s wet (I’ll wear shoes as well, and maybe a dry bag to stow them away).

Oh really, that’s not ideal (though I was surprised by my local Timpson’s cobbler who could resole Dr Martens…..). If only I’d thought of wearing socks in the past as most of my childhood was spent with horrendous chafed ankles from breaking in faux-leather sandals
