what sandals are you all buying?

Am after inspiration!

Would like:
-Flat or slight heel (prefer flat)
-Comfortable slightly padded sole ( so many sandals have solid hard thin sole which I find v uncomfortable)
-not grannyish

I have looked at saltwater which I quite like it can't decide if they are grannyish or not and everyone round here seems to wear them. Might have to resort though if can't find anything!

I bought the Fly London trams ( same as feelingmiffed) yesterday - they are so comfortable. Adjustable width fitting and padded sole, I feel like I could walk all day in them.
I bought them from Jones Bootmakers as I saw them when in town, but Amazon also have them in lots of colours. I got the off white.

tethersend they look really nice. How is the sizing? Anyone know if they ever have discounts?

tethersend · 08/05/2016 08:39

Sizing's pretty spot on.

The only cheaper pair I can find is in a size 3

Tethers you are style genius of the summer.

feelingmiffed · 08/05/2016 10:32

Yes, like sammy said they are fly London Tram ( think tram 2?), really comfy! I have wide feet and they fit well!

I bought them from Jones but they also sell them on Amazon

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 08/05/2016 10:43

Tethers you are style genius of the summer.

Surely I can't be the only one that thinks those Fly London sandals are hideous and not at all stylish?

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 08/05/2016 10:46

Sorry getting mixed up it wasn't Tethers that posted the Fly ones, apologies for blaming you!

CoconutAmericano · 08/05/2016 10:58

I bought the Steve Madden sandals dorothea linked to above. They were lovely but enormous! Im a 41 but they were huge in the 41 so I'm going to return them and try the 40 because they really are lovely.

CoconutAmericano · 08/05/2016 10:58

allpizzas i too think they are fugly!

phoolani · 08/05/2016 11:01

Thefairycaravan - those first ones are lush. Am having me some of them!

taybert · 08/05/2016 11:59

I actually quite like those fitflop ones too (always avoided before because of the really thick soles, but those are nice). Not available in my size though dammit! I do like the Esska ones but it's more than I wanted to pay. Can't put a price on comfort for the whole of summer though right?!

Playduh · 08/05/2016 12:37

Waiting for these to arrive. Hate having my toes out so thrilled to find these.

tethers they're lovely, I like the Rusty colourway. Had been dead set on Saltwaters but those are making me pause. Am bit worried about the Saltwaters being too thin-soled? Any of you with Saltwaters fancy posting some pics?

rollonthesummer · 08/05/2016 13:09

I love the Fly sandals-I have a very similar pair and they are really comfortable (just like Fly boots).

I love Birkenstocks too-they are very comfortable. I wish I could wear the thin soled pretty sparkly sandals but they leave my heels in agony!

rollonthesummer · 08/05/2016 13:11

Can someone post a link to the saltwater sandals that are so comfortable? I've just looked on Amazon and those ones look like the sandals my man used to wear Confused

HalfStar · 08/05/2016 13:14

rollon these are the ones I'm after, they are grannyish but am happy to roll with the fugly shoe vibe

I've ordered the rusty/navy. They'll go with everything and if they're comfy I'll wear them loads. I like the rusty too but OOS in my size.

DeathstarDarling · 08/05/2016 13:51

Birkenstock Arizona in white. Go with everything, super comfy and last really well. Not grannyish at all. Nope. ( In my head , all grannies wear fitflops or sketchers)

hettie · 08/05/2016 14:44

I love yokono sandals, bought a pair similar to these (but no toe post) last summer. They are so comfy...

I really like those yokono knee! Are they expensive?

rollonthesummer · 08/05/2016 16:15

Ones, not knee!

Cocochops · 09/05/2016 20:52

Thanks all! I ordered the yellow saltwaters which arrived today. I think I like them but they do make my feet look quite - big comfy though! But I really love those ones Tethers recommended so am ordering those too and seeing which I prefer.

nickdrakeslovechild · 09/05/2016 20:57

I tried on the saltwaters and found them really uncomfortable, got the Toms Zoe which look the same but are slightly padded. Got the black, tan with denim ones and about to order the red .
