French Women Over 60 Only Own These 4 Sandals

French Women Over 60 Only Own These 4 Sandals Most women spend every summer buying sandals they'll regret. The wrong strap, the wrong sole, the wrong heel. French women over sixty solved this problem a long time ago, and they solved it with four sandals they've owned for years. In this video we break down the exact four sandals that appear in the wardrobes of the most elegant French women over sixty — including why the espadrille French women actually buy has a fourteenth century working-class origin that most people don't know about, why the ankle strap is quietly working against you, and why the flip flop has a completely different status in France than it does everywhere else. No trends. No hauls. Just the four sandals and the thinking behind each one.
