On every thread where someone posts a picture of sandals to ask for advice, theres always a chorus of 'hideous', 'granny', 'fugly' etc. So please share some photos of sandals that you think are nice, stylish, chic, non-stomach-churning, whatever. Bear in mind that many of us need sandals to be comfortable and suitable for lots of walking. I promise no snarky comments!

Bang on I would say @Romax. I'm a 38.5 (annoying) and this is my unbecoming foot in a 39.

So appreciate the pic! Any chance of a profile?

Thank you!

Many of the sandals on here are truly awful but those Doc Marten ones are another level and quite simply a crime against humanity & I can never unsee them now 😝

Susanna - I saw those fitflop ones IRL the other day & they're lovely.

I kind of love those rainbow coloured croc huaraches.

slippermaiden · 18/04/2019 17:51

It's only Birkenstock's or flip flops for me. I have feet that have been complimented many times but really love how the Birkenstock looks ❤️

Namechangedcositstime · 18/04/2019 18:09

Those fitflops are nice @FiremanKing

Namechangedcositstime · 18/04/2019 18:12

I can't believe how fucking rude people are about other people's choices. Confused I can only think that there must be something missing in your life if you feel the need to denigrate and mock the preferences of others.

I wasn't going to comment on this thread (for the above reason), but just wanted to thank @Lovemusic33 and @WellTidy for introducing me to Moshulu. Had never heard of them before yesterday, but spent the evening on their website, ordered a pair of boots and work shoes in the sale over the phone this morning, and then drove to my nearest store this afternoon to try on sandals and get a feel for what sizes fit my feet (so I can snap up future things when prices reduced). Smile

Feet in my my gorgeous sandals attached [[https://www.moshulu.co.uk/seville-waxy-leather-toe-loop-comfort-sandals.html]] - they feel like walking on cushions! The shade is a lighter, duskier pink waxed leather than it looks in the pic, and the perfectly co-ordinating nail varnish is from there too. I even got a pair of sun glasses that were reduced today. Grin Almost bought ones [[https://www.moshulu.co.uk/hosta-metallic-leather-block-wedge-sandals.html]] or ones [[https://www.moshulu.co.uk/hosta-strappy-colour-block-wedge-sandals.html]] too - waiting for a reduction, I think.

@IrisApfelRocks I had also been looking over and over at those DM Xabier sandals and really like them - I love my DMs and think anything by them are well comfy. I love the chunky look, but they were ultimately too pricey for me. I'm keeping my eye on them for a sale, though!

Truer representation of the colour (excuse swollen right ankle - just had surgery on it).

Join you'll notice that those people haven't posted a picture of their perfect sandals even when asked to Wink

WellTidy · 18/04/2019 21:22

Join happy to help! I found Moshulu through a similar thread a few years ago and I haven’t looked back. The Wasabi sandals will be must haves for me for years to come. Happy walking in comfort all summer!

MargotLovedTom1 · 18/04/2019 21:53

hullabaloo sorry just seen your post re the black gladiator sandals. They're from Deichmann.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 18/04/2019 21:55

Well aren't you a peach RuggyPeg

EnidButton · 18/04/2019 22:22

After seeing starfleet's lovely winged Ancient Greek sandals I looked the brand up and really like most of their sandals. Which is brilliant but around £140 a pair for most of them. 😩 I can't justify that for such a tiny amount of leather. But they really nice.

Hairynick · 18/04/2019 22:41

Paulhollywood I like yours, where are they from?

Alsohuman · 18/04/2019 22:53

Those AG sandals are utterly gorgeous. I've decided to cut my clothes/beauty spending to the bone until I've got enough to buy a pair.

QueenofLouisiana · 18/04/2019 23:08

These are my favourite pairs from last year. So comfy and cool in the heat.

Well I never thought I’d be scouring the internet for a pair of crocs but I really love those rainbow ones! But of course they’re sold out everywhere Sad

Cheesymonster · 19/04/2019 07:48

Love yours NakedAvenger and wish I could afford them!

spreadingchestnuttree · 19/04/2019 08:43

I also bought some Moshulu sandals after seeing them recommended on MN. I love the Wasabi style - such soft comfortable leather. www.moshulu.co.uk/wasabi-bright-strappy-leather-sandals.html

Such a shame people feel the need to criticise other people's choices - I thought the whole idea of this thread was not to be rude?

JoinTheMicrodots · 19/04/2019 09:31

@JaneJeffer Exactly!

My links and wording went all awry in my post. Not sure how that happened. Blush

tethersend · 19/04/2019 10:05

@AhoyDelBoy there are a couple of pairs on eBay.

They are magical shoes- easy to wash, waterproof, light and pillowy soft. Heat the straps with a hairdryer and they mould to your feet.

I have no idea why crocs don’t bring them back!

FiremanKing · 19/04/2019 11:05

Tethersend - so many posts on her I can’t find what you are referring to!

I like the sound of light and pillowy soft!
