another sandals advice query

What about these - hideous or fine? (for with a skirt)

Rieker sandals

I need straps on top as I step out of everything else. And I walk weirdly and get loads of blisters, so I need comfort - I get blisters even with the most ugly comfort shoes possible! Even these ones rub where the straps touched, but they were some of the better ones I could find in that respect. I normally wear orthotics in my shoes, but in summer, it would be nice to wear sandals on holiday. I'm still looking, but not having much luck!

(be honest!)

I like the overall style but am not keen on the sparkly bits.

I wouldn't wear them, sorry. It's the sole that puts me off..that heel.

I like them, they are that elusive combination of stylish and comfortable.

the sparkly bits and sole were my concern too. There's another colourway that is even more sparkly, with bits in the straps too, which I eliminated!

I wish I could find a better sole that I could still walk in, that would stay on, and that wouldn't give me so many blisters/pain.

I like them too

This is what they looked like on

I think the sole bothers me more than the sparkly bits.

I will have to paint my toenails if I'm going to wear sandals! Not much I can do about the colour of my feet though... (legs are no better! Maybe just stick to trousers and boots, however hot)

My mother might wear them at 75.

I like them

If they are comfortable then go for it. I think they look fine. They may not be the height of fashion, but walking around with a grimace due to uncomfortable shoes is not very attractive either.

Actually look better on I think. The heel will probably make them more comfortable than something completely flat if you have foot problems.

It’s the sole and the heel that really aren’t doing it for me. Sorry but I don’t think they’re nice at all.

I'm sure I'll have grimaces even with these - I need to remember to put plasters on everywhere i can think of before I even start, which will only add to the elegance, I'm sure!

the straps pinch my little toes a bit, but only on one side, so it might have just been the specific pair I tried.

shoe shopping is so hard!

I think they look nicer on than off, and the colour will go with everything.

These are super comfortable and make feet look better (as good as you can make feet look):

Not a bad price either

they look nice but I definitely can't wear ones with a post between the toes - the blisters are horrendous. I twist a bit as I walk, so there is lots of friction, and sometimes even the smallest bit of a seam or a stitch or a slightly less than smooth bit of sole will be enough to blister within a few minutes.

I've not tried that brand before though, good to know to add to my 'comfortable' possibilities list...

How old are you?

I like them but I feel like they are a little ‘old’ for me.

Look so much better on. I’ve had a few pairs of Reiker boots and they are soooo comfy

i'm early 40s. Not very stylish, but wish I were!

I love them but then I love Rieker shoes in general and have loads. (Am in 30s). Search rieker sandals on amaon, they have loads

They are a tiny bit orthopaedic looking, but I would wear them anyway if they are comfy, and Rieker shoes usually are. I have NEVER found sandals that look great and feel great - it's always a compromise.

Pikolinos and Moshulu both do lovely soft sandals which don't cause blisters (I've got very delicate skin too).

Ah but them OP.

You like them, they are comfortable. Job done.

I think you're too young for a style like that.
