sandal-wearing

The Guardian is more or less equal and opposite; again a serious, respectable paper, but one that caters to sandal-wearing vegan hippies.

In my mind he is surrounded constantly by sandal-wearing acolytes wielding exotic birds of every variety.

I decided a sandal-wearing and nerdy t-shirt dad would not be the one I would want in public.

If sandal-wearing Houthis can resist, then well-funded oil states can as well.

But is it as mythically important that a sandal-wearing goatsherd from Helmand province (AK-47-totting or not) gets punched in the face by Just a Kid from Brooklyn?

When I started my career I encountered a beardy-sandal-wearing systems programmer[2], who 100% believed that there should be more comments than code in a program.

At the start of the series, Bob Howard, a slashdot-reading sandal-wearing geek, accidentally got himself conscripted by the Laundry, that branch of the British secret service concerned with applications of Computational Demonology -- defending the realm from Lovecraftian horrors.
