If you love roman sandals – the good quality last-forever and made in New Zealand kind then you need to act now.
I just spoke to the guy from Douglas Sandals (after a text from Helen to say they’re closing down) and he said that they’re not manufacturing at the moment (but still have stock) and the business is for sale.
The best thing you can do to help his business is stock up on roman sandals. For you, for your Christmas presents, for your kids…
It’s hard making quality goods in New Zealand when you’re competing with China and if you don’t buy local then businesses close. Remember ages ago when we did the huge roman sandal order? (The roman sandals guy remembered).
You can buy sandals online here.
It’s a pretty simple message – stock up now on the colours and patterns you love; you’ll help a New Zealand business and also guarantee excellent summer footwear for years to come.
More sandal love: the music video and Sarah Laing’s comic strip.

Awww, man! Thanks for the heads up. Will go shopping now! x
Nooooo!
Worse! I’ve looked on the site and there’s none of my favourites in size 8 – hopefully sandals man answers my email quickly. It’s the worst thing for people with big feet.
Fabulous prices for locally made footwear! Thanks for sharing the link. Roman sandals are never uncool.
You should buy some for your baby Steph – the kids ones are super cute.
My best friend Cheri and I wore our brown romen sandles with everything in the 70’s . I still love them !
My size are all sold out sadly and lots of my ones at home are almost worn out. I might just have to go barefoot.
So many still around; find, keep & enjoy them.
Alas, my size is your size and it ain’t a size they have many of!
Also still gutted I got the wrong size last time. No romans for me!
What they have left in your size is this… they emailed me:
Plain black roman sandals
Plain grey roman sandals
Plain Brown roman sandals
Roman Slide Punched Conch Pink
Roman slide punched green
Roman Slide Punched white
Roman Slide Printed Tartan red
Black Slave sandals
This is the perfect website for anyone who hopes to find out about this topic.
You know so much its almost tough to argue with
you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a
brand new spin on a subject which has been discussed
for decades. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
so sad to hear that such a long very long family history Julie
Thank you for another informative blog. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such an ideal way? I’ve a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform
like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices
out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions?
Appreciate it!
