Tan wedge footbed sandals?

28 replies

tethersend · 14/06/2015 10:37

I want some for work. I need to be able to walk far in them, prefer a cork wedge so nice and light, and not too high. Footbed shape preferred.

I like these, but they are weirdly turned up at the front and I don't think they'll be very comfy. Does anyone have them?

Any other suggestions very welcome.

Hush Puppies but not foot-bed-y enough?
Next but too high?

blodynmawr · 14/06/2015 11:58

Lands End. Probably not foot-bed-y enough maybe but look quite comfy.
PS the Hush Puppies linked above are currently on offer at Debenhams if they are any good.
Lands End again but probably too off brief.

What about fitflops? I've just ordered some-only a tiny wedgey bit tho, but super comfy!

What does foot bed mean?

blodynmawr · 14/06/2015 12:04

Heavenly Feet cheap. Also some other cheap wedge options on that website....

I have those office ones op and they are wonderfully comfortable. I have had many compliments while wearing them.

I was watching QVC the other day (yes, I know!) And Birkenstock are selling a wedge footbed sandal in tan. Sorry can't link because I'm on the phone, but Amazon sell them too. I think that they are a bit pricier than regular Birkenstocks though.

Ooh, answers, thanks Smile

Nacho, can I ask how the sizing comes up on yours? Are they narrow/wide? Not too high?

Not keen on any of the others, sorry.

Tethers, I tried those office ones last year when trying to get a Clarks pair that were like hen's teeth. Anyway,I found the sizing good, a solid 6 and I've reasonably wide feet, and they were comfy. Only reason I didn't get them was the ankle strap was a tiny bit too high for me which causes circulation problems weird feet

Muckymoo71 · 14/06/2015 19:12

Take a look at the Esska site,sorry dont how to link, they're pretty comfy but without looking like a pair of ramblers sandals or some hush puppies are pretty cool too.

Thanks Muckymoo- esska are my go-to comfy sandal site, but they don't have any wedges this year.

Am quite cheered by the reviews of the office ones... They're not THAT high, are they? What do you think, would they be ok for a fair bit of walking in the heat?
