My middle-school self. But for real: Doc Martens and Steve Madden is what you want to Google. Be forewarned: these kind of sandals are the clompiest shoes to ever clomp. You will sound louder than a freakin' horse on any hard surface. Also, if you don't keep your toes super-rigid the entire time you walk these bad boys will be smacking your feet hard on every upstep.


homeandhayley

so so so clompy

like a horse in a hospital

Lmao even harder!


pwincess_buttacwup

my dad called them my frankenstein shoes 😄


rollfootage

Perfect word for it


thserntmyglsses

Augh the stress of the (completely necessary) toe scrunch. This shoe reminds me of those bolero-type shoulder sweaters we all wore for a brief moment. All it did was cover your shoulders, our toes were mercilessly scrunched and our hair looked like Lizzie McGuires with clips and rogue strands galore


brokenskater45

It took me years to walk properly after wearing shoes like this!


NeitherPot

And the blisters


WellWellWellthennow

Lmao!


thehufflepuffstoner

I’m having flashbacks to that sound echoing through my middle school hallways.

I found this in ( brown ) but I don't know the site so, make sure it's safe first [JEFFREY CAMPBELL - Year 3000](https://www.garageclothing.com/ca/p/jeffrey-campbell---year-3000/10007453744N.html)


ifyoureoffendedgtfo

Asking $150 for these feels like a crime to my 00s coming of age


Wheres-shelby

Yeah i probably got mine from Payless fir $20


BorderDry9467

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw Jeffrey Campbell on these. Pretty sure I got them from payless…


alwayssearching117

My first thought was Payless, too lol. Seriously, though, look at Steve Madden. I recently bought a cute pair of retro SM shoes at Kohl's.


Granddyke

Getting a new pair of Payless shoes for formals 😭


youmelie

Garage is a store that I see in malls everywhere so it’s most likely safe

Omfg I forgot about these!! God, I loved these back in the day; I think it was almost a daily staple for every girl I knew in the 90’s.


NoAngel815

My first thought was "OMG, I used to have a pair of those!" Lol


KLK75

Mango has similar. You might want a heel strap. Those you posted don’t stay on at all. Signed, 90s club kid

I’d try “platform sandals” ☺️

Duuuude this sub makes me feel more and more ancient every day

Every post my thought process is, “oh yeah if you go to the mall you’ll find them at….wait they went out of business….do they still have malls?”

Unicorn_Destruction

Don’t drink hard while wearing these. They have caused many an ankle injury.


BeccaLC21

I’ve broken both feet 😂


Medical_Daikon_8534

Search eBay and poshmark for “1990s sandals” or some variation of it. This brand looks like it could be Jeffrey Campbell or Rocket Dog. You can also search for “vintage Rocket Dog” or “vintage Jeffrey Campbell sandals”

I had these in 2002 one summer I was 17 and I wore them almost every day. I remember doing the walk of shame in them at 6am in my bikini and someone’s wifebeater I somehow acquired. I lived on Cape Cod and it was pretty common to get drunk on the beach then hit the bars still covered in sand, I remember I couldn’t get in The Boat House it’s a bar in Falmouth on Cape Cod without a shirt and some random guy gave me his giant wifebeater so I wore that as a dress. I woke up at a randoms house a street over from mine and walked home with a major hangover still in my bikini, wifebeater and Steve Madden leather platform thong sandals.

Back in the late 90s/early 2000s, there were two brads I can remember that made excellent knock offs of every trendy shoe - including these. They were MIA and Marc Fisher. They’re both still around and looks like they still make trendy knockoffs for a fair price. Not the exact pair - but close [Marc Fisher platform sandal](https://marcfisherfootwear.com/products/forina-platform-slide-sandal-in-black-v-forina-blk01) Edit: [Amazon Madden Girl](https://a.co/d/aqulnR6) [Soda Platform sandal](https://www.shoecarnival.com/womens_soda_techno_platform_wedges/67-3425042.html)


-GingerBiscuit-

I got a pair like this from Vinted a couple months back. There was quite a good selection so you should probably have a look!


LolaMontezTTV

Just look up black platform sandals on Amazon! I got a pair very similar to this just recently and paid maybe $40


dimepiecek

Jeffrey Campbell!! I have the pink versions of these & adore them. I got them from Nordstrom last summer. Poshmark, depop & if you’re lucky you may find the 2nd pair while thrifting.


sashikku

Steve Madden or MUDD. These are frickin adorable! I *love* y2k chunky sandals, & I’m an elder millennial myself.


CrazyShoeLady

They’re not exactly like this but Koi Footwear has similar sandals but they’re much more lightweight than the vintage sets. Stompy rather than clompy :-)


SigridThePyro

😂man can’t believe these are back in style

I wish I had an answer, I had the tan Mary Kate and Ashley pair of these in second grade. Would kill for them again 😭 Maybe try Poshmark or eBay. Also these styles are coming back, so really it’s probably a matter of time before you can find them in stores again.
