One of my all-time favorite sandal purchases is a pair of LD Tuttles. They’re probably 8 years old and still look great and get compliments when I wear them. I first learned of the brand from annagybe.

So I was sad to see they’re closing shop — I’m on their e-mail list. They’re having a big clearance. I tried another pair of their sandals a year or so ago and the fit wasn’t quite right, and I’ve always been tempted by their boots but am nervous about final sale only. But mostly I’m sad to see a unique and well-made brand close their doors.
