If you're a DMs / chunky boots sort of person, what sandals do you wear?

[Sadik]

I've got some sketchers slip on sandals which are ok for slopping around town, but I really need something I can walk a couple of miles in - so really something with straps that hold them on, I guess. Trouble is that all the sandals I see that fit the bill either look like I'd have worn them whem I was 5, or a bit too sensible-walker-ish . . .

I spend the summer in my Birkenstocks mayari. I've got silver and white. Love em.

Birkies for round and about down,

And a pair of cheap strappy flats from Primark for when I need grown up feet.

The trouble is, I think Birkenstocks would be just right, but I have really wierd toes (honestly!) and anything that has a post between them / loop a toe has to go through doesn't work. (Can't wear proper flipflops either, which is a PITA)

Birkenstock arizonas. No strap. Or classic black or white tevas now trending on asos

DM do some quite good sandals, not sure how comfy they would be though. I have sensible walker sandals from Karrimor, super daggy! Been looking at these ones but not sure. wills-vegan-shoes.com/foot-bed-sandals.html

I wear chacos, but they might be a bit more sensible-walkerish than you're looking for.

birckenstocks- lots of different styles

Clarks sandals, especially as I have ginormous size 9 feet, but probably all sold out now as think their sale has been on a few weeks.

I just wear flip flops. Now I think about it, I'm not sure my summer and winter footwear matches at all (dms in the winter, really girly, pretty flip flop type sandels in the summer). I don't suppose it matters or that anyone else has even noticed though.

I have some fitflop lulu, they cover 4 miles of commute, plus my office is on the third floor and I am up and down all day.

I wear Doc martens flip flops. I can't wear normal flip flops as I have paper thin skin but I can happily wear my dm ones for hours even walking through fields! I also have some sensible karrimor ones.

The Tevas look like they might be exactly the thing :)

Birkenstock madrids. No toe post, mega comfy, and for me they work with most outfits I'd normally wear DMs with!

Birkenstocks Gizeh. Summer isn't a time for chunky shoes.

Also never realised DMs made sandals - not sure I want to pay that much though - it's not that sunny that often in Wales

I wear Tevas but that's because they are incredibly comfortable and practical for walking / kayaking / climbing so they might be a bit sensible for you, but I think they are not as bad as some action sandals.

Birkenstock Gizehs or Arizonas

I think they're probably the right balance between sensible / smart, Vague.

IKWYM about summer not being the time for chunky, SillySongs, but I'm short & slight & have small/narrow feet, so I quite like a bit of solidity in my footwear.

I rather like these teva sandals.

Tevas which are really comfortable and not too walkerish

Teva-wearers, how do they come up size wise? I'm between a size 3 and 4 (3 for DMs & sketchers, 4 for most other shoes) - but I imagine they're pretty adjustable if the 4 is a little big?

They are very adjustable mine have 3 straps front over toes, round the heel and across the top of the foot.

Tevas ordered :) Thanks all! (No doubt it will now rain for the rest of the summer . . .)

I hate toe posts, which is why I wear Birkenstock Mayaris. I can walk miles in them.
