Sandals were also worn at Scottish prep schools. They seemed less common than in England and tended to be worn mostly by younger boys. They were, howevet, worn at many prep schols. They were usually an optional choice. This was different han in England when at many schoolls they were a required item. The schools tended to be flexible as to the style as long as they were closed-toe sandals. We note both single and double-bar sandals, but the single bar, "T" strap sandal was the most common. And unlike shoes the color of sandals was not an issue. We are not precisely sure why. Perhaps because there were no black sandals. We do see some blue sandals. Most boys wore various shades of brown sandals.
