I am from the camp that finds it hard to understand the appeal of these ‘plastic clogs’ as I like to call them, however after researching through unlike minded individuals I have come to understand the pull towards the Sol Mates sandals. There are practical aspects to this shoe, which are attractive, the soles have good grip, the closed toe aspect is appealing, and the revolving strap also ensures comfort and stability. There are strong quirky elements reminiscent of Japanese street-wear, in combining the kooky with the cute. All in all, you will know whether you love of hate these the instant you see them, it’s all about personality, and how you flaunt your style.
