Dr Marten fisherman sandals alternative?

I love the Dr Martens 8092s, but they are all sold out online with no apparent plans to restock. They have a similar model online, but the sole is too chunky (almost like a platform shoe). I’m looking for alternatives. Here’s what I love: 1. Stodgy/kloggy styling, with the contrast stitching on the top leather that makes it more utilitarian 2. Somewhat rounded toe shape 3. Chunky sole Most fishermen sandals that I have seen are on a thin sole, with a fairly trim silhouette, and a bit too sleek for what I’m looking for. Any recs for anything similar? Price would ideally be under $200, but I’d be curious if there is anything above that too.

Are you looking for something more like a gladiator sandal?

The most similar looking sandal I see listed as a gladiator is this one from ASOS. Chunky sole, similar thick leather straps. Not a huge fan of the way that the straps go up the ankle. Also the color + studs are not for me.

found some dad like sandals on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/195263167282 https://www.ebay.com/itm/355811394209 Though you said the platform is too high sometimes I still think platform is a good keyword to use in search
