A very pleasant surprise! All leather and hand made as advertised. My feet are very hard to fit, and advise from webmaster was one size larger than my foot (size 14). The adjustable all leather straps make this an easy fit with a little extra room. After breaking in these past few days, they are extremely comfortable and I suspect I will order another pair, as they are dressy enough to wear to work. I will now consider some of the other foot wear as it is quite obvious this was a great transaction. Strongly suggest that WPG puts out width information on shoe products. This would help people with tough to fit feet make better educated choices on products. Transaction was great, many thanks.

Very high quality given the price. Fast shipping as well. I am a size 13(US) and ordered a 13, and sure enough, they fit perfectly. Thanks WPG!

McKinley - US

Delivery from the US to Denmark (Europe) within 48 hours, good show! And the sandals are great too.

Kurt-Nielsen - DK

They are fantastic! How in the hell the frontier regiments ran around in these though is a bloomin mystery! Very well made good quality. I recommend 1 size larger than you usually might get. I am 8.5 I ordered 9. 8 would have been way too small. Cheers!

MacDonald - US

Great product great communication fast delivery. Not so sure I want to let this secret out, my friends will all be wanting a pair

Leon - AU

Very neat to think that these are made in relatively the same area and likley made my craftsmen in the same way to a large degree as the originals. Very much look the part and the fast shipping is amazing. Begs the question why when I order from the UK it takes three weeks and when I get these from WPG from the UAE it takes five days (with a holiday thrown in!).

Ordered these on Monday...arrived on Friday...wore in Reenactment on Saturday! Can't get any better than that! Thanks so much Jerry... These sandals broke in so nicely, and the size was great..I normally wear a 10 1/2 shoe, and I ordered these sandals in a size 12...fit was perfect other than being just a little long in the toe area, and gotta tell ya, that didn't matter in wear one little bit. This Brit reenacter is one happy man :)

Thanks again Jerry...you know I'll be back.

I used to wear these sandals. I did not know they were still being made. I used to buy them in the bazzar in Calcutta.

Beautiful shoes.
Trés agréables à porter.

Gaël - France

Wore them and the socks to walk the dog last night. My wife hates the way they look, but I like them.

Vince - Libertyville, Illinois

Nice footwear but the sole is a little wonky. The more I wear them I'm sure the better they will become. Atleast I now have something to wear outside the tent when looking for my drinks walla who has skivved off again.

Keller - US

These are superior quality!! very sturdy, well made. Nice leather, nice finish.

Hoida - US

The finish of the leather sole isn''t as pretty as you might be used to, but you can tell that it is sturdy.
The strap that goes behind your heel is thick and wide - it won''t be digging into your foot. There is a leather flap behind the buckle to keep the buckle off your skin (very good for those of us with nickel allergies). The holes in the strap are reinforced with metal eyelets. Definitely made to last. Very happy with mine.

Jacob - Texas, USA

Fit perfectly and quite comfortable. Rather stylish as well!

Hampton - US

Good looking sandals. They will need some working in but should look better with wear. Sized a bit strange according to other reviews. Mine are a bit big as I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 10.

Heisner - US

Perfect fit and a joy to see.
Can't wait to show them to the public.
Well, the SAS jeep will never be the same.

Riedel - NL

The best sandals on the market by far!!!

Jones - GB

These are great, the quality is great, can't wait to wear them around camp!

DiMinno - US

Amazing, very fast delivery, i finally got the Sandals with the right size, they fit just perfect!!!if you order them, order one size bigger
(example 8 or 8 1/2 order size 9).
Once again thanks WPG!!!!


Viloria - CH

Very nice repro. I would suggest you order one size larger as they fit small. Overall, a nice item. Not sure I would want to wear these on a forced march, but for hanging about camp or at static displays, these are great! They look really good with the Northwest Frontier socks!

Donovan - US

Great item , even better service .I will be ordering again from this great company

Embleton - GB

awsome sandals,the look very original i normally wear size 8, but the ones i got are too small, i'm
probably going to order another pair but size 9!!

Viloria - CH

I wear a size 9.5 and ordered a 10 and they fit fine. Soles are abit stiff, but should loosen up with a little use. Well made and were quickly shipped. Very satisfied with the product, thank you!

Beutner - US

Authentic, hand made appearance. I haven't seen an original pair, but these look very close to the photos I've seen. Sized a little small, I ordered 13s and they seemed more like 12s. I just wore them in a hot shower and that worked to stretch and mould the leather. Quick Shipping too.

D Brown - USA

Size was a bit larger than expected but doesn't take away from an awesome sandal! They look great!

Spriggs - US

Great sandal perfect fit with the frontier socks. Great quality. I look forward to using them in the desert.

Devincenzi - US

These sandals do look to be very historically accurate, even down to the sole construction. I think the leather could be a bit thicker, and more pliable (but that may come with use). Mostly mine are a bit too long. I ordered a 12, and mine came marked 13, which had be "x"'ed out, and replaced with 12. Aside from the sizing issue, I'd highly recommend this product.

Tarr - US

At first view good looking .But not 100% Accurate in size

Petros - Germany

Thanks. Nice reclaim handling due to size issue-otherwise, once again, great repro.

Nicander - SWEDEN

J'allais refaire les souliers en question.

Great item - I love 'em! Feel like I just walked out of the Punjab. Delivery was so fast - incredible!

McGrath - US

Very fast shipping and deliver!
Very good quality of the Northwest Frontier Chaplis Sandal, but size is larger than expected. Great for LRDG Reenacting and for summertime. ;-)


Uebelmann - GERMANY

Great quality but size is larger than expected.

Nicander - SWEDEN

After 7+ years of looking for a pair of originals of a fair reproduction, Jerry once again comes through with a spot-on copy that more than fits the bill. Now that I have these babies I no longer have to settle for farby Jesus-sandals when portraying LRDG. Thank you WPG for making all my chappli fantasies come true!

McNamara - US

Jerry, WOW! I've seen photos of LRDG fellows wearing Chappals (or Chapplies or Chaplis) and your reproductions are EXACTLY like them. Spot on PERFECT! Great work!
