comfy, and pretty sandals (if there is such a thing) needed

[rockinghorseShit]

I've got £40 to spend and I thought I would easily find something in clarks, or somewhere boring!
But there was nothing I really liked and that was comfy aswell, I want them for walking around on days out etc in the summer, ideally not a toe post, and a thickish sole.
The only ones that I liked and were comfy in clarks was these but obvs they are toe post. I also like these but im not keen on the ankle strap, and they are a bit expensive....
fussy aren't I?

Ok Modcloth charges 20 bucks for shipping, forget them!

I have been dithering over many of the Camper sandals, which I dearly love and are always comfortable, but £99? Really? I'm not sure that I could.
I am wrestling with my conscience over this pair
Although I would spend more than that on winter boots, sandals are just teeny straps on a sole so it seems hard to justify.
Somebody tell me that I'm worth it!

You have to have great ankles and long skinny legs for sandals with ankle straps Tethers.
Sadly I don't

depends where the strap falls holly! you're right if it cuts horizontally at or above the ankle - the higher up, the worse your problem . But if it curves below the ankle, along the line of the foot, you've a change of getting away with it.

I have legs about as long as a beetle's!

sergeant, you are worth it!

No you don't Holly- I have neither skinny legs nor great ankles and the ankle strap on the esska ones sits in just the right place. It actually does my legs a favour!

But yes, I agree that you have to be very careful with ankle straps unless legs are amazing.

Like those campers but £99!

Well, someone is bound to say it so it might as well be me: Saltwater, comfy (but very flat) and a wide range of colours. Some people on here loathe them but I have a bit of a soft spot for them here!

Oops, my bad, Saltwaters are mentioned up thread.

Tethers, leopard sandals are gorgeous !

A colleague was wearing this version the other day, I was quite taken with them.

I've got camper boots and they've lasted well and are very comfy.
I think they came from Amazon... Might be worth a look there?

Tethers are you tall ?That makes a difference too.

Am 5'6"- not especially tall.

Love the leopard. In fact Yokono has loads of great looking shoes on their site. Never come across them before. What's the quality like Tether? Very tempted by these.
Or these
Or maybe these

The quality of my colleague's looked fantastic, Soprendo.

She'd bought hers last year and they still looked new.

Am quite tempted myself.

Love the yokono Cadiz. Anyone know what sizing is like? I'm between a four and a five and have wide feet.

I'm between a 7 and an 8 with wide feet and called them to ask the exact same question

They said to size down, so have ordered a 7. Will report back when they arrive.

Excellent Tethers :)

Gah am ignoring you all

I just bought these in Clarks today and they are not sandals but they are amazing, they are hairy!!!

£35 slippers , I never will get fashion.

Merrel sienna. Love em! Have had 2 pairs and have worn them to death. So comfy

Nocomet they are hairy!!
actually since these are Clarks they actually have a proper sole, unlike my other fashionable slippers, and therefore are an enormously sensible purchase

Tethers, I am very taken with 009L+shoes these

I'm looking for comfy sandals I could get away with wearing to the pub or out for a bite to eat. Did your colleagues look like they would be dressy enough for that?

I'm going on hols, I want one pair that I can wear out to eat etc

Did your colleagues shoes look like something you

@ Fairylea - thanks for the M&S kids sandals recommendation. Bought the white ones in a size 6 today and they fit perfectly! Great with rolled up boyfriend jeans.

Ordered these in grey yesterday - envious of all these lovely sandals but these are perfect for those of us like me who feel the need to hide our ironically-named sandal toes.
