Hi gals,

Don't have much time to read/post today, but needed to get this off my chest.

Re-inspired by Angie's post today, I would LOVE to get a pair of sandal booties. I haven't seen any in Aussie stores yet, so am worried we might not get them this season (we can be slow over here!)

I've noticed they seem to be selling out online too. The 2 pairs I had bookmarked (here and here) have both disappeared. This makes me scared I need to buy some toot sweet or risk missing out alotgether!!!

Has anyone bought/tried any on that they can recommend?? I am wary about shelling out too much for such a "trendy" item. Yet at the same time I don't want to get a cheap pair that are unwearably uncomfortable. A padded sole would be great. And I don't know whether real leather or fake would be cooler either. I'd prefer a cognac/tan coloured pair, but at this stage I am thinking beggars can't be choosers!!

These are the other pairs I am currently eyeing:

http://www.endless.com/Michael.....h%20Sandal (look comfy, but not sure about quality!)

http://www.endless.com/Cindy-S.....l%20Bootie (like the look, but not cheap, and look a bit stiff/uncomfy!)

Anyone have experiences with these, or any others you have found I haven't??

Any and all feedback appreciated!!!
