Let's see your non hideous sandals then!

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!

How does anyone walk all day in clogs? I would be in agony after 10 mins. I have always worn Havainas but decided this year that I wouldn’t wear them anymore. They have gone too Jeremy Kyle for me now. I hate brown sandals as well. I can recommend Tory Burch slides for style and comfort.

I love jewelled flat sandals like the ones sold in the shops on Capri.

@FiremanKing sorry for the late reply - been at the coast with scant WiFi, no my feet are note wid, these are slightly loose, I had another hole made in the strap, very comfortable but a bit Heavy.

Sorting seasonal clothing, found these comfortable but i think my feet will start sweating soon Confused

Actually do these come under shoes?

Ellapaella · 23/04/2019 09:54

@animaginativeusername I wouldn't really call those sandals. They are definitely shoes. I had a black pair of kickers like that that I used to wear to school - blast from the past Grin Everyone had them.

evilharpy · 23/04/2019 10:21

I never had kickers back in the day. My friend had a pair of blue suede ones, we used to call her Elvis.

Neither "sandals" nor "non hideous" - sorry!

Ellapaella · 23/04/2019 11:41

@evilharpy Grinlove it! Mine were black. This was back in the early 90's mind - I didn't realise they were still going.

evilharpy · 23/04/2019 12:22

The blue suede ones would have been around 1997 or 1998. They were dreadful even then Grin

Sagradafamiliar · 23/04/2019 12:49

I wish I had sandal worthy feet! Mine are like arrows, long big toes and then the rest are short, and they're veiny and bony as well 😭😂

florence11 · 23/04/2019 12:52

I hate my toes and am always trying to cover them. These are my favs, from New Look

I’ve ordered these from Toast. They are hideously expensive but my feet and legs look better with chunky sandals. They also come up big apparently.

@IheartNiles, I’ve been lusting after those. But £225! Hopefully there will be some in the sale though I’m not holding my breath.

DarlingNikita · 23/04/2019 13:02

I've got some quite similar to those Toast/Chie Mihara ones, although with a bit more of a (chunky) heel, that I got from Clarks about three years ago. They're lovely and comfortable and are wearing well, plus cost about a fifth of those! I think they often have similar styles year on year. Worth a look.

LucheroTena · 23/04/2019 13:03

@Alsohuman I know! Nearly had a coronary. But I’ve bought so many cheaper pairs, barely worn as painful. I’ll report back when they arrive.

AnotherEmma · 23/04/2019 13:07

£225 😱

Well the neosens sandals I found seem positively bargainous now Grin

I ordered a pair online but they weren't quite right for me (BEAUTIFUL quality though) so I sent them back which is just as well since they were £110!

AnotherEmma · 23/04/2019 13:08

In case anyone has £100+ to splurge...

Some of them are lovely. I'm slightly perturbed by what restored skin might be, though Confused

I bought the same Blowfish sandals on Friday. They're gorgeous and we're only £27 from Sole Trader

Yes, what the hell is restored skin?

bebeboeuf · 23/04/2019 16:31

Latecomer to thread here so please apologise if already mentioned - are the saltwater sandals as good as the instagbloggers say?
Or are they actually ugly?

SwimmingintheDeepBLUESea · 23/04/2019 16:45

Restored skin is just restored leather - going by the individual product descriptions.

AnotherEmma · 23/04/2019 17:22

Lost in translation Grin
