Sandals - stylish but comfy?!

14 replies

brexitschmexit · 01/07/2018 19:32

Any ideas where I can find stylish but comfortable sandals please? I wear flip flops quite a bit and also have some gladiator style sandals that I love and wore loads last summer but this year they seem to be giving me pain and discomfort in my heels, it's almost as if they are too flat maybe?!

I don't want a high wedge or heeled sandal, need them to be relatively flat as they would be for everyday use and I do a fair bit of walking (not long walks but lots of to-ing and fro-ing on School run etc). But maybe something with a slight heel/low wedge?!

Budget isn't huge, maybe £30 or so but would pay a bit more for quality and comfort if they also looked really nice!

Are these at all stylish?! They look like they might be seriously comfortable and i LOVE rose gold, but are Clarks sandals with sports soles a massive no-no?! I'm 39 and mum of 3...... 🤔

They do look comfy but...they're a definite no from me, sorry. Though there are some quite nice Clark's sandals in the sale. It's the sporty soles that make those look a bit frumpy.

I bought those on a whim yesterday! They are not stylish at all imho, but stylish dd1 approved and said she'd wear them so...

I wasn't looking for stylish though - just comfy!

I just bought some blowfish sandals for 25 quid, I had similar brief in my head to you. They're really comfy.

These are the comfiest sandals I’ve ever owned - I have them in both colours and will stock up on more if they go in sale.

Have a look at Oliver Bonas-their sandals are sooo comfy. Bit above budget but worth it!

I've just ordered these, they have various styles some nicer than others. Reviews say they are very comfortable. I've got them on prime so if they look too granny I can send them back!

I have the Arla Jacory Clarks sandals too. I wasn't 100% on the style but they were so comfy they won me over. Soles are squishy and heel height is just right. I too normally wear flip flops a lot but if I have to walk I wear these. I have the beige colour but it's more grey.

That's what I was worried about, flugel! Will take a look at the other suggestions as would love to find comfort and style if possible.... thanks for the tips!

dead flat is bad - gladiators are nearly as bad as ballet flats. a small heel is actually better ( said my physio)

that is small as in about 1cm not small as in fashion definition. good luck ....

I bought some Majorcan sandals from TKMaxx, £16 I think. They are comfy and look good.

I have a few pairs of theses Clark’s flip flops and they are very comfy

Please can you tell me what outfit you would wear with these?

Not one of my summer work dresses would look ok with these sandals. They are just not smart enough
