I'm planning on a pair of saltwater sandals and something from clarks in a wide fitting, haven't decided yet, hope to steal an idea from this thread!

PingPongBat · 11/04/2017 20:37

Bluntness how's the length of the saltwater sliders please? I'm a size 9 (43) and these look like they only go up to a 42 - hoping they come up a bit long!

Munchkin1412 · 11/04/2017 20:45

You evil temptresses - I've just ordered the sea salt ones in the lovely aquamarine colour and a top too in the £40 deal...

mowgeli · 11/04/2017 20:51

My foot doesn't hang off the back and I'm more of a three and a half then a three so they must be fairly big go for a size under and see how you go x

Bluntness100 · 11/04/2017 20:53

Ping pong, I think they are true to size to small to be honest. They do only go up to a USA 9/42 and they do say to go up a size. So effectively they say they are small. They have some good sizing info on their site.

I'm a uk seven and a half but in closed shoes i order an eight, as I always get sore toes and they feel too tight other wise, however I also ordered am eight in these based on their instructions and I probably half half an inch spare. Not sure if you have to pay to return but if not worth a shot. They are very narrow by the way....

I have these but in leopard print - they are so comfy. I have narrow feet and they fit beautifully. Sad they only come in black this year!

Also the moshulu wasabi ones mentioned up thread, which are ok.

Love the Clarks sandals hasbeens alikes too, also pretty comfy.

PingPongBat · 11/04/2017 21:17

Thanks Bluntness - sounds like a no for me - I am a true 43 and wide too Sad they look sooo gorgeous in the rose gold! ( I hate it when UK sites and shops claim that 42 is a 9 - it really isn't!)

ScarlettDarling · 12/04/2017 08:57

Ooh now I'm liking Bluntness's saltwater sliders! Never seen the appeal of salt waters before but love those sliders! My feet are quite wide though so maybe they'd be no good for me?

LemonadeWithACherry · 12/04/2017 11:30

I ordered a pair of Saltwaters but had to send them back as they were so flat and I couldn't walk in them, but I love the look of the and wish I could wear them Sad

I have MS and can't really walk in flat shoes, which are what I have worn all my life and is my preferred style, so I have to go for medium heels. I have bought these cushion walks from Fashion World for summer - I got them with the new customer 20% off and free delivery so about £13. They are comfy but I am not entirely sure they are not a bit OLD (I am 44). I keep thinking they're the sort of thing George's mum on Gogglebox would wear!

The bulk does make them adjustable so mine are on the second tightest setting as I have weirdly narrow feet Hmm. They can be loosened quite a bit though to allow for wider.

That's a shame ping pong. Wonder why they don't make them bigger. There has to be demand.

PingPongBat · 12/04/2017 12:02

I have these (Clarks) which I quite like and wore to death last year

Bluntness I have sent them a friendly request to make them bigger! Won't hold my breath though...

Lemonade I know what you mean about George's mum wearing those Grin Sad

I have a load of boxes with really quite grim Clarks 'comfy' sandals on top of my wardrobe. Every summer I take them out of their boxes, have a little cry inside & put them back.

Sorry about the length of that link...

mowgeli · 12/04/2017 15:20

Maybe they are so bad they are good......

228agreenend · 12/04/2017 23:03

Celery - I think you win rhe prize for longest ever link on mn!

mowgeli · 12/04/2017 23:47

I got the m&s sandals today too 😜 I hid them with the shopping from my husband!
He said he hated them but I got them anyway. Wondering how long it takes for him to notice

LemonadeWithACherry · 13/04/2017 10:06

Oh gawd I was right about my 'George's mum' sandals then Sad Smile

Do these look better? I might get them instead.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 13/04/2017 10:52

Sorry Lemonade but I think George's mum might have that actual pair. She loves red sandals.

nonameinspiration · 13/04/2017 12:19

Birkenstock madrids in patent I buy them every year.

Haviana freedom - top posts with a back strap - you can drive in them and I think they look really smart I wear them to work. I have them in gold but might buy in black this year.

Raisinbrain · 13/04/2017 12:25

Saltwaters for me. Mine are navy blue and I would wear them every day if only they were office appropriate.

mowgeli · 13/04/2017 12:36

Can anyone help me on what to wear with the m&s sandals please

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 13/04/2017 13:02

Which M&S ones are they mowgeli?

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 13/04/2017 13:12

Ignore above - have just seen your other thread and responded!

minifingerz · 13/04/2017 14:10

Gabor - wore these all last summer.
