Honest opinions on these sandals please!

[potterycat]

What do you think of these? God awful or OK? I think they look kind of vintage-y but maybe I'm fooling myself... (Please excuse pasty feet)

I think it depends how you dress as to how Nana they would look.

Sorry OP they are frumpy, my MIL would wear those!

OP, I feel your pain..... I know those shoes will be SOoooo comfy but unfortuanately they are frumpy.

What about these ones... they are a teeny bit better I think.

Disclaimer..I have a pair of hotter Sandles that I don’t think of frumpy. They are silver and Birkenstock’ish and ridiculously comfortable

My (very very unstylish) mother would adore them. Actually no, I think even she might hate them.

😂😂😂😂

They are a bit grumpy but sorry so are Saltwaters!

Frumpy ffs

They are the sort of sandals you see elderly ladies wear with American tan tights and bunion plasters.

It's a no from me,sorry.

I'm 46 and need comfort too but I'm not ready to slide in Hotter defeatism yet. Clarks outlet have some great bargains on sandals at the mo.

My saltwaters are not remotely frumpy I don't think- 🤣

Therearetoomany thank you for understanding

I did consider that style but as well as having knackered knees I also have high insteps so I think the crossed straps would be a problem.

Please everyone, do feel free to recommend other styles and brands because this sandal hunt is driving me mad.

I really like these but they are too f*ing flat.

Sorry, they're awful. I wouldn't wear them and I'm over 60! And I totally feel your pain in trying to find something comfy.

I must say when I clicked on your thread I thought I was opening one titled,

Honest opinions on these sCandals, please

This disappointment has in no way influenced my opinion, btw!

Poor op. I think she's got the point. Cancel the cheque

Suggest these, OP. Also Hotter; they are not flat and they are so squishy. I have the older design from last year. They have quite a few different colours. I'm mid 30s and actually a goth in style. We still need cool feet though! Also I had plantar fasciitis and needed comfy shoes.

Bobbin, I don't think they are any better, I'm sorry 😱

Bobbin those are fab! I can't believe they are by Hotter

wish I needed new sandals

👀. Ok, I’ll confess but my hotter shoes are those tourist ones posted by Bobbin. I got them last year in silver. The rest of my clothes really really aren’t frumpy so I think I can get away with them.

They are extremely comfortable.

I'm sorry Bluntness but they are too much like my Mothercare ones when I was 6, not even your lovely red nails can save those bad boys!

OP look at Skechers and fit flop sandals. Both really comfy with lots of squish! The ones in the op are v frumpy i’m afraid...

Have a look at Teva sandals, or leather walking / hiking sandals.

Bluntness I have those too - good choice!

Hiking sandles are the way to go. They aren’t cool or pretty but as they look practical it’s ok.

Buster 🤣

What about these from Air and Grace? They look flat but they have memory foam insoles so plenty of support/squish. And they won't make you look like a 90 year old lady.

I lived in my Air and Grace espadrilles last year (that are still going strong). More on order for these year!
