Sandals for schlepping for miles around city streets

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Any recs? Tan, black or grey and as comfortable as humanly possible without looking like my gran would wear them. Absolutely no to Fitflops, Ecco, or anything that looks as if Millets might sell it. Not totally flat, and ideally with some nice squidginess in them. Not flip flops and no toe post. Must have straps and not just be slider things or mules.

No more than £60 and would prefer less, as they'll get wrecked quite quickly.

I may well be asking the impossible.

traviata, thanks for the ecco link, have just ordered new work shoes.

OP you are after the holy grail, I know what you mean and can picture them, I would like the same, and am watching with interest.

Can't see anything on the M&S site.

Remus, I had those sandals circa 1998 and I'm still looking for them again...

Nope, Belinda. I really don't. Sorry.

I can schlep for hours in my fitflops and I have v fussy feet. They are just as attractive as anything else I have seen on the feet of walking women in sunny cities; quite pricey but they won't fall apart.

I love merrells - great for pavement pounding, bit expensive but they last years. I buy mine from a local independent
shop, so maybe one near you

I love these www.clarks.co.uk/p/26106081 they've only got a little heel.

I have been lusting after Esska India sandals for ages. I think they look fab, are leather and would imagine are really comfortable.

There are a few on the jonesBootmaker website I'm debating, price from £55 to £89 though

Capn - you and I are not working from the same reference points to define "tiny" heels.

I'm back to lurking.

Hate those, Belinda. Sorry.
Hate the Merrells.

Little heel ones no good, Capn - am talking about walking miles for sightseeing etc, not just tottering around the shops for a few hours.

I have the esska India- they are as comfortable as you imagine them to be, coconut

They are by far the most comfortable, squidgy sandals I've ever worn- I've walked miles in them- but I think you're not keen on them, Remus?

india

They are quite nice, Teths, but too expensive. I think I want v slightly less flat too.

I actually don't mind these

I love the unsparkly fitflop banda sandals - they are much slighter than the usual ones and fully leather lined. Unfortunately my size has sold out in the colour I want.

No way tethersend! I really have to scratch that itch this summer

Yokono ones also vv comfy and supportive

Yurgh - don't like those at all, Tethers.

Oh i really like yokono too but the ones i have are velcro fastening and they dont fasten tight enough round my feet . Need proper straps!

What sort of shape are you after, Remus? Two part or all over strap type things?
