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 . . .

Hmmm. Am I the only one who loves DMs but hates Birkenstocks? Not sure why, but there is just something about them that makes me thin "No!". DMs are practical but funky whereas Birkies are just practical and always look dull to me.

Currently wearing chunky gold strap sandals with a flat sole or wedges if I want a heel.

I agree ItGoes. They just look horrible. I'd put them on a par with Ugg boots.

I used to have a pair of M&S sandals that I could walk miles in.

Very comfortable non-hippy clog type sandals here:

They do have hippy type ones too.

Birkenstock Milanos. Toe post hater, really can't be doing with them.

Today though I'm wearing Saltwater.

Fly london sandals. Comfort, quality and just the right amount of chunkiness.

I tend to wear DMs in the winter and Birkies (Mayari/Gizeh/Florida) in the summer. I also have a size 9 foot. I bought some Aggy silver DM sandals from eBay a year ago but have only worn them a few times as they're so darn uncomfortable

Just to update - have bought a pair of brightly Tevas, and they're so comfortable I don't care whether they're stylish or not

Thanks so much for the recommendations, I'd never run into them before, and they're definitely more me (and more suited to my feet than birkenstocks). S&B rocks!
