Space for Guys & their Hermès

[etoile de mer]

Hello! I'm thinking of buying a pair of Hermes Izmir sandals for my husband. I was hoping some of you might have personal experience with this style, with regards to comfort. I saw them in my local boutique, and noticed they are completely flat, without any arch support. If any of you own them, do you find them to be comfortable? Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

I did try on 70cm couple of times, but couldn't find the right one. Still looking for the neutral color to start off with. I need to study how to tie H scarves

you should get the 90 i was debating about, it looks great and is very neutral. the best thing to do is just play with them, some days i do amazing things with them and i can never remember how to do them again, but its really cool, or one of the giant ones could look really cool if you double around your neck. although they are mainly womens ideas you can get a set of knotting cards free with a silk scarf.

They have NO arch support whatsoever... I don't wear them for long walks at all... I wear them at home only, or walking down to local cafe... and I do enjoy them!
I have also added a very thin pair of Vibram sole on them to increase durability and better grip.
They are very comfortable BUT NOT for long walks as they have NO arch support.
They are gorgeous and well-made... like slippers of any kind they are not designed for long walks.

I guess there's million ways of tying H scarfs. Since I don't own any H scarves, I can't play around with it. It gives me excuse me to go to H today Do you find it easier to work with 90cm or 70cm?

for what i do, i think 90 is better, plus more designs are available which is a plus when looking for a scarf for men. as i said before, i normally just wear it under a jacket or looped, im not using it as a tie with a collared shirt or anything, so what i do either giant or 90 works well. plus if you are creative you can also use them as belts

Hi, The jeans is from G-star, it is wax coated, the denim is stretch and fairy thin, so its very comfortable however I think you can easily find the waxed coated from Balmain, Dior Homme to NudieJeans.

I love this look especially givenchy tops which I am obsessed. Please do share more!

thank you so much! Im sure keeping up

I also have a pair of Hermes sandals, not izmir however, i dont know the name of the design but the do have a leather strap around the heels. They are also flat with no arch support, but that is not a problem for me at all! I guess it depends o what he is used to wearing!? dos he uses other flat sandals? or flip flops? Mine are in a cream colored leather.... it took me a while to gather up enough courage to wear them "outside"... They are really soft and comfortable and look really elegant even if you just see a few leather straps around the feet! I mus admit.. i adore them! ! !

ORFEO ROUGE H, and Pegase,

Thanks so very much for your replies.
So helpful to hear of your experience with this type of sandal.
Likely best to just buy him a pair, and see how he feels about them.
I think he'd like the Izmir best, being a slip-on design.
Hermes does gorgeous simplicity so well, enjoy your sandals!

Wow! Wow! You are proof positive that when worn with masculine panace wrist wear like the CDC and an enamel H bracelet in its widest version can be rocked by a man with through devil-may-care style. You Sir and an inspiration to all men who look H and want to rock the look as well as the ladies do, and quite often in fact better than they do! H it up!

Reza, your shawl looks great! I applaud a man who can pull a GM off, and you've done just that. A question; I got my first GM shawl a few weeks ago, and with the weather cooling rapidly, it's almost time to wear it. BUT I have a nagging fear or wear, pulls, snags, etc, particularly where is comes to jacket zips, fingernails etc. how do you find yours is wearing? Are you careful with it? I'm rather a "Man's man", so I'm not planning on wearing this thing wrapped in cotton wool. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments! I know what you mean about fears of snagging etc. Zippers can be very dangerous. I must say I am careful with it when I'm wearing it with jackets etc. usually wear them with non zippered coats. Other than that it's pretty easy to wear. Enjoy it and have fun!
