Sandals good for walking that aren't fugly

[TheUpsideDown]

I'm off to France in the summer for a week, and plenty of walking is expected. I can't seem to find any decent sandals that would be good for walking, but are also stylish and feminine.

Do pretty walking sandals exist, or am I going to have to buy Jesus creepers?!

grr plantar fasciitis

Fit flops, definitely.

Teva or Camel Active leather sandals - got some lovely pale blue ones from Amazon last year, comfy and smart-ish.

Try Ecco or Gabor?

Something like this?

Love the Lotus ones.

Thanks guys. Lots of great recommendations for me to look through properly later today. Although a quick scan through is revealing some very viable options. I'm a bit of a shoe addict and I can see I'm going to struggle with choosing just one pair...

I've got my eye on these m&s sandals in the black though I quite like the white/silver combo too. Tan would be ideal but don't exist. Saw them in the shop and they are really lightweight as well as not fugly.

Ooh I like some of those Teva ones...

I really like those Clarks clogs, but they are not walking sandals in any world of walking that I know. I had ugly Clarks ones last year and they were excellent - walked miles in them on city breaks. This sort of thing - ugly, yes, but not as ugly as proper 'walking sandals'.

I don't think those Clarks ones are ugly. I think the M and S ones are, plus they look so uncomfortable. I'm not keen on the Teva ones either.

I'm sorry, but its a no for those Clarks Remus - I agree they aren't AS ugly as proper hiking ones, but still unattractive enough for me to worry that my husband would never want to have sex with me again!

I actually really like the M&S ones and they have been added to the 'maybe' list, along with a few others.

They're not mine, so no need to apologise - mine may be even uglier, but they have served me well so far!

Jesus wept. There is some fugly sandals on here ladies. Those m&s monstrosities are shocking, and much worse than the Remus ones, sorry, sorry sorry,,,all you need is to wear them with some ankle socks and you're good to go. 😂

The salt water ones are lovely though, I like the sliders and think I may buy a pair, the merrils are also nice...

Another vote for Teva - so comfortable and practical

In fact just ordered the salt water sliders in rose gold...so big thanks to the op for starting the thread and mrs nucky Thomson for posting the link..,suspect I shall get a lot of wear out of them. 💐💐💐💐

Teva for me for off road walking . Think of them as sandal equivalent of trainers.

I have just got these from ancient greek in rose gold, the lether is butter soft and i can walk a good way in them. I just cant do fugly or uncomfy sandals!

These sorry!

Love my fitflops.
Just bought some sanuk yoga slings and they are comfy as well.

I agree with Saltwater sandals - didn't think they'd be very comfortable!

Another vote for Fitflops for holiday city and country walking here.

Anybody found any nice brown leather sandals with a thickish sole? Not hideous or tan coloured if possible.
