The annual 'holiday shoe' search

[Germgirl]

Shoe suggestions needed!
I'm hoping to visit Vegas again this year (May), anyone who's been knows how much walking is involved, so comfy shoes are a must.
Last year I bought some Teva sandals which I had been assured are the most comfy things ever.
Well, they cut my feet to ribbons and I ended up wearing trainers all the time. Trainers and my trusty Toms and Skechers Go Walks will be worn but I'd still love some sandals.
Do I have to go down the route of the 'elasticated beige walking sandal' or can someone suggest something slightly less hideous?
They must be flat, comfy and able to fit on my wide size sevens. I don't really care what they look like but pretty and/or funky would be a bonus.
Any suggestions? (I've been recommended Saltwater before but they look really hard to me, are they?)

Sorry! Forgot to add, for sandals...Ecco or FitFlop.

I went on a two week four city European "walking miles and miles" a day in the cities holiday last summer - I was shocked to discover my silver Supergas were SUPER comfy for pounding the pavement. I wore them with no-show merino socks which meant my feet stayed super dry and comfy (and not the tiniest whiff). It was bloody boiling, too but they were brilliant. I also swear by Ecco - Not the most gorgeous looking shoe but plain enough and COMFORTABLE for walking miles in the city www.eccoshoesuk.com/ecco-soft-7-ladies/p2695

Merrell sandals are the business for your holiday plans OP.

[whiteonesugar]

I love Palmairas / Avarcas.

[DavidPuddy]

Tamaris mught be worth a look. I have some lovely, leather flat sandals from there that make me think of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. The prices are decent for good quality shoes, though not cutting edge fashion.

[Sonotkylie]

Ugg sandals (I think the ones I have are Jordyne). I find them really comfy but I also remember the reviews where people had effectively used them as walking sandals in hot countries

[LittleStripyBee]

Nishi sorry

[LittleStripyBee]

Hush Puppies Nisha, recommended on here last year and an amazing purchase.

[Moresaltedcaramel]

Fitflops here too. I have lots in different styles, but not the slides as I do just slide out of them. I can't wear Birkis, I find them really uncomfortable.

[Lunaballoon]

Another Fitflop fan here! I wear mine practically all the time in the summer. Brilliant for holidays when you're on your feet all day.

[maitaimojito]

I had some Toms leather sandals that I wore on holiday last summer and they were really comfy. I have wide feet also.

[FleshEmoji]

Fitflops again. I wore mine non-stop for two weeks in South Africa and never a sore foot or blister.

They've quite a few in the sale at the moment - www.fitflop.co.uk/en/sale/womens-sale/?gclid=CK7Y1O3w7NECFUJAGwodJ0YKpQ&_%24ja=tsid%3A51522%7Ccid%3A261319139%7Cagid%3A19592593619%7Ctid%3Akwd-12074528794%7Ccrid%3A169839653885%7Cnw%3Ag%7Crnd%3A11639917184290018492%7Cdvc%3At%7Cadp%3A1t1&gclsrc=aw.ds

My chacos are the most comfortable things known to woman, but they're very supportive so do take a bit of getting used to.

[polyhymnia]

Definitely Fitflops.

[youllneverknow]

Have you tried Hush Puppies? I also have wide, size 7 feet and found flat sandals from there that are really comfortable and (I think) look nice too. I can walk for miles in them. I think I got them from Schuh.

[NewPantsforaNewYear]

Yes to Fitflops (although I sometime 'fall off' mine ) or Varcas. There are loads of this style around now but I've only tried this brand and they're really comfortable.

[Tantpoke]

Yes fitflops and clarks sandals are my summer choice as I can walk for hours in them.

[loobylou10]

Fitflops. I've had mine about 7 years and they still look like new. I could walk for ever in them - like walking on air!

[burnishedsilver]

Fit flops.
Have a look on the website. There is a lot of variety. Some of them don't really look like fit flops at all.

[ElspethFlashman]

God, Fitflops X 100. They are amazing. They were the only thing I could wear trudging around in the summer heat, heavily pregnant. So bouncy. And I was not light on my feet!

[user1471583707]

Mine were cheap from sports direct and they had loads of styles that I could try on

[user1471583707]

I would also suggest some Velcro karrimor ones
They did me proud in a New York trip recently and I walked my little socks off!
They are a bit ugly but I figured no one knew me and I valued my feet more.

[blueskyinmarch]

I love my Birkies but if i want to walk for miles on hard pavements in the heat the only way my feet survive is light mesh trainers and trainer socks. I have Nike ones as do both my DD’s. We have all suffered with agony feet on holiday and are happy to sacrifice style for comfort.

[Aderyn2016]

Fitflops? I love mine in the summer - like walking on air. And you can get pretty ones.

[jumpingcold]

Salt waters are really comfy but not for all day on tarmac. They're comfy in the way barefoot is comfy, if that makes sense? My mum raves about her wolkys and fit flops. I'd take a selection though - variety is the best thing for feet on a trip with lots of walking!
