Bunion friendly sandals that i can walk in

Hi
Im looking for sandals that work with dresses as well as jeans for leisure and work. Budget £120
The challenge is that my feet are wide across the toes and bunion, needibg ee width but my ankles and heels are skinny and my feet are boney. I cant do high heels and i walk a lot. I need sabdals that hold my foot and feel supportive. I have low arches to boot!
Id like something that has a strap or some material that hides the bunion. No pointy shoes!
Have already checked simply be jd williams new look and asos. M and s and clarkes are not wide enough.

Thank you!

hangry24seven don't go for the ones with the two buckles, they are for narrower feet according to the website!!!!

I have wide feet, I love saltwater sandals, I just bought a pair last week and they didn't need breaking in which was a first for me! According to the shoe box if they rub at all you dampen the leather and this will shape to your foot. Very comfy!

Not to everyones tastes but I brought these the other day and they are oh so comfy and wide fitting www.rieker.co.uk/rieker-ladies-c2/rieker-ladies-sandals-c83/rieker-67958-26-ladies-brown-combination-sandals-p5096 although I would call them khaki rather than brown

I use the Think! Julia flip flop style foot bed sandals- although not for work. The straps hide my bunions, and the foot bed and thong keeps them secure. They have a cork footbed.. They are rather pricey (even in previous years colours) but are so comfortable I have replaced my original pair with two new pairs!

Ah great so glad you like them too! I just bought new ones in beige and navy. Boden have an almost identical pair to the navy ones but on balance I preferred the Office ones. Thanks for posting a proper link too!

Shesparkles If you scroll down theyve got them in more colours

One of the teva i ordered (sanborn) arrived. Not keen but very light and. The style i chose wasnt that wide because i wanted something dressier than their walking sandals.

My Gabor sandals came yesterday and they fit perfectly-no mean feat😉. I’m going to get another pair in the other colour!

I stick to Gabor and M&S wide fit. Usually can find something I like.

They are pricy. But they are so wonderful I can't tell you. I have 5 pairs. GrinBlush

So nice to have "proper choice for my big feet.

A German friend told me about them.

pennina thanks, ill have a look in m&s again and try the platform ones.

theclitterati i had never heard of that brand before so thank you for the suggestions. I quite like the one in the second link because it looks dressier but the first link looks very comfortable and holds on to the foot properly. I like that it can be adjusted as my feet are narrow at the heels. Thanks again.

They do slip off a bit, need to have them snugly done up so foot doesn't slide down and loosen heel strap. The leather is lovely and soft though. Btw I've also previously had success with m&s sandals with a bit of a platform too.
