There's something about a wooden sandal that transports me right back to 6th grade at Ingomar Middle School in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa. I pined for a pair of Candie's slides so I could fit in with the cool girls even though they were completely inappropriate for a 12 year old's foot. My mom didn't give in to my powderpuffing (family word for whining) completely, however she did buy me a pair of low-heeled Candie's wannabes, much to my chagrin. I never did own the original Candie's w
ooden slides and soon moved on to my next footwear obsession, Zodiac stack-heeled boots (you tell ME the year).
In memory of those fake Candie's I hid in my locker once I got to school, I present to you three current styles from Sanita's retro collection for spring. All available from OnlineShoes.com with free shipping and returns.
1. In lime green aniline leather, the Sanita Audrey has a sparkly buckle, ergonomic wooden footbed and rocker sole for a comfortable stride. $64.95
2. With a similar look to the Audrey, the Sanita Mallory has a darker wood rocker sole while the single buckled strap has a soft metallic sheen. $79.95
3. The strappy Sanita Marci has a slightly higher sculpted heel and a bit more glitz than Audrey and Mallory. Comes in coral, gold or sand metallic leather. $84.95
