ESP if you have a bad back, and painful knee joints and your Birkenstocks and flip flops are not no longer cutting when walking long distances.

No. I like comfy but I wouldn't go that far.

Yes! They look fine. Perfectly OK.

The older I get the more I can't be bothered with uncomfortable shoes.

Nope, there are far nicer comfortable sandals than those.

I think there are comfortable more modern shapes available. I have to go for comfort too, I bought some from Clarks today which are a bit birkie like but with a strap around the back.

In want to say yes, as I'm a martyr to my sore feet but I'm afraid it's a no from me.

They would look crap with a skirt or dress but ok with leggings or skinnies, IMO. And I would wear them with the latter, my bunion demands comfy shoes.

Yes. I wear Keens. I don't care how the shoes look anymore. I'm a long-distance hiker/walker and very athletic. I'm fit and strong with great legs and I wear comfortable shoes.

I really can't imagine ever wearing anything that they would go with.

It would have to be trousers or a skirt so long that they were covered up, and any comfort factor would be outweighed by the risk of tripping.

Yes, I go for comfort. I have bunions and can't have my feet hurting constantly, day in, day out. So I sympathise with your position.

I think they're lovely, sort of 70s geography teacher in a good way! DD who's 19 has a similar pair, she wears hers with a cord A line skirt. I have crappy knackered arthritic feet and I steal them occasionally. I'm medically exempt from wearing high heels so comfort is essential!

I have similar ones which are sketchers so have the memory foam in. They're amazing.

I will not tolerate foot discomfort.

I have Josef Seibel ones - like these. Ok they are not exactly sexy but they are super super comfy and have lasted literally years. Come in a few different colours.

If they're comfortable and don't aggravate your conditions then I don't wouldn't care.

Those who would mind don't matter; those who matter wouldn't mind what you wore

No - trainers or walking shoes or boots for a long walk. Exposed toes are no good for walking.

On reflection now that 70's geography teacher has been mentioned I actually think I had a pair of sandals similar to these when I was 8. Which is probably what was subconsciously making me think no.
I have bought another pair which I love and will be keeping for sure, these ones.

These ones above are much more my style, I'm going to return the ones in my main post and keep looking because I'm really going off them now.
