Very unsure how to post a link.

I am looking for a comfortable everyday shoe for very sensitive feet. Must go with anything, like jeans to a skirt. Having absolutely no fashion sense, I am not certain if this is mumsy, or uncool or whatever.

Please tell me what you think.

They're ok.

worldgonecrazy · 23/05/2012 13:43

As comfy sandals go, I think they're quite nice.

AmberNectarine · 23/05/2012 13:45

They're a bit footglove....

BunnyLebowski · 23/05/2012 13:46

Granny shoes.

I like them, they'll be really good for sensitive feet. Are your feet wide?

Whizkidwithacrazystreak · 23/05/2012 14:05

I don't like them, but if you are restricted due to sensitive feet then you may have no choice...

axure · 23/05/2012 14:17

I don't usually like these Gladiator style sandals, but I quite like these and Ecco are a good make. If they are comfy then I'd get them, comfort is more important than the latest fashion IMO.

Wrongmoreoftenthannot · 23/05/2012 14:20

I like them, I bet they look better on than in the picture. I have bought Ecco before and they are incredibly comfy!

Vicky08 · 23/05/2012 14:25

I like them, they look really comfortable.

Mummalish · 23/05/2012 14:32

In my younger days I would of course gone for style over comfort, but sadly those days are no longer. I do kind of associate Ecco with granny shoes, I suppose I was looking for the least grannyish.

Also, I like the clasp as its not a buckle which means less time to put them on and take off. (this is how I think these days).

My feet are not wide no, just so sensitive, that most shoes give me blisters, so every days shoes need to be very comfortable.

If anyone has any ideas for comfy daytime shoes, please advise.

Thanks all....

fitflops.... I like the hykka style; like walking on air.

sugarspiceandallthingsnice324 · 23/05/2012 14:36

sorry to say, i think there are horrible.

FunnysInLaJardin · 23/05/2012 14:39

not bad, but a bit middle aged. What are sensitive feet? Clarks do stylish comfy shoes.

QueenCadbury · 23/05/2012 14:46

They are a bit frumpy but I nearly bought a very similar pair from Ecco myself as just soooo comfortable. Couldn't justify the price tag though. If you're happy with them get them.

Mummalish · 23/05/2012 16:22

I get terrible blisters from shoes, even trainers. Also, the underside of my feet ache terribly, and I also get huge blisters on the soles of my feet, sometimes it feels like the bones ache. Bizarre. Clarkes generally are good, maybe I should just embrace my middle age.

I like those, but the solid backs would probably drive me mad.

P's. I am no judge of shoes, I'm wearing Velcro strapped Clarks things.

KenNEddieKennedy · 23/05/2012 16:31

they look very comfy womfy. but completely style free. sometimes you just have to choose!

piprabbit · 23/05/2012 16:32

They're OK, I'd be tempted.
How about these by Merrell?

KenNEddieKennedy · 23/05/2012 16:34

A pair of three quarter length fawn slacks and a rucksack and you're good to go. (sorry...)

PinotysaurusRex · 23/05/2012 16:39

I wear fitflops all the time - boots in winter, sandals in summer, trainers in between.

The comfiest shoes ever IMO.

supernannyisace · 23/05/2012 16:40

I like them.

They look more stylish than the old fart pair I bought this afternoon :)

IMO summer sandals have to be comfortable.

ScrambledSmegs · 23/05/2012 16:44

They look fine. Think they look a bit better in black but maybe too harsh for you?

Ryoko · 23/05/2012 16:47

They look nice but fucking expensive.

KenNEddieKennedy · 23/05/2012 16:55

I live in my Fitflops too. silver sparkly and blue diamante. £50 each pair but worth it.

KenNEddieKennedy · 23/05/2012 16:55

Actually the blue ones were £65, but they are v nice.
