Stylish supportive summer shoes.

[thereistheball]

Please help me find some supportive summer sandals and shoes. I have high arches which ache in unsupportive flats and flip flops, I am pregnant (so am putting on weight and avoiding heels), and I walk everywhere. What can I wear apart from Birkenstocks?

Have a look at the FitFlop sandals?

they do fitflop ballet flats now, but they are a bit pricey

Clarks have a few not-too-grim styles.

OK, thanks. I had hoped to avoid Clarks, from prejudice mostly. I will check them out.

lol! I know what you mean. What sort of style are you hoping for?

Open to anything - I need all my summer shoes! (Tbh there will probably be a pair of Birkenstocks in there somewhere)

Clarks was as I feared. The only one I liked on there was their Fitflop rip-off. I'll get the original I think.

What do you think of these Camper ones?. I know they have a small heel but it looks copable-with.

Right, well, I go for the following:

'Summery' Converse for park trips etc

Something sparkly that goes with everything

Something properly comfoy although not uber stylish - i admit I do like Ecco!

There are so many nice ballet flats and those slim, tan tassle-loafers about at the moment, which are very trendy, but they kill my feet.

Camper not my style, but very nice. Someone linked to some amazing yellow sandals in that style on MN recently.

Thank you! Yes to the converse. I already have a pair of bronze gladiators that might just make it through another season, so I don't need the second link. As for the Ecco ones, I prefer these but now I think about it I try to avoid ankle straps wherever possible. Maybe these would be better - don't love them though.
