Glad to hear those opinions about the Restrap sandals, if only to confirm my biases - I did think the straps in particular seemed a bit flimsy when I saw them in person. It seems they’re a great thing IF you happen to run restrap saddlebags as they can be strapped around them, but my decathlons are great portable sandals already, so that base is covered.
@RonnieOatmilk The Tevas are on my radar, I might get a pair from Vinted and if they are not ideal I can always resell. In my experience it’s not so much toes that are vulnerable, but the toe section of the sandals themselves - especially if the straps are as flimsy as on my Decathlons, your feet slip forward or backward so much I end up either catching the toes of my sandals on the chain (pretty sketchy!) or dragging on the ground (pretty destructive!). So something with a more rigid sole will be ideal.
Might rename this thread to include #sandalfluencing too…
