Greg Clark's intriguing trio drew 74,400 views, making his auction the most popular on the site this year.
Clark fielded 140 questions about the shoes which he listed after perpetually wearing out his right jandals.
"In my excitement to see the summer the last three years in a row I've been unfortunate enough to blow one out on the right flank," he said.
"....I've had to face up to the likelihood that I may never need my three left jandals and perhaps there are some deeper issues with my gait which need to be addressed. "
Clark said he was now donning "shiny new jandals taking much greater caution with the placement of my right foot."
The name 'jandal' combines the words 'Japanese' and 'sandal'.

Step back in time 70 million years in Manurewa, south Auckland, to an age when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Auckland has welcomed 2021 in with a bang, starting with a five minute firework display from the top of the Sky Tower at midnight.
Last year was tough. What are you looking forward to in 2021?

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?
