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!

The comment was someone asking people to take part in a survey. Not relivent to the thread, it was posted on several threads. I reported it as spam x

I like them a lot Busy.

I ordered the Office wedges after Elspeth recommended them up thread. They arrived last week and I really like them. Nice comfortable dressy sandals for evenings.

Am doing a wardrobe clearout and found a pair of leopard wedges from H&M that I bought a month or so ago and had totally forgotten.

I do not need any more sandals so I may have to hide the thread!

I have three pairs of Birkenstock’s - silver Arizona’s and aqua and red Madrid’s. I tend to wear those day to day for comfort. Have done Disney in them comfortably.

Superstar 63 - The Office Maiden in a wide fir have just arrived. They are very comfortable indeed but not quite wide enough for me as I overhang a little bit. My feet are definitely wide. If you are overhanging a little bit in the regular fit then the wide fit might be perfect for you! I'm gutted they are not wide enough for me as I love them Sad.

AcerTree · 02/05/2019 15:27

wide fit not wide fir!

JaneJeffer · 02/05/2019 17:21

Those are lovely. Very similar to a Geox pair I bought last year. Mine have coral and leopard straps and a sling back.

I like them. I have wide feet and a high instep though.

FiremanKing · 02/05/2019 17:58

SingingSands

I like those too but are they ok for wide platypus duck feet?

NicoAndTheNiners · 02/05/2019 18:36

elemental thanks for pointing out that Moshulu we're doing a 20% sale today, have also ordered some wasabis.

OneFootintheRave · 02/05/2019 18:39

Typical OneFootintheRave
They are now the sandals I want!

OhSnake · 03/05/2019 10:02

Update on the Clarks pair: v comfy, but I needed something more adjustable for my wonky feet! Have gone for these instead - love them, and they're supercomfy Smile

Ok need some opinions. Having seen these on the thread i ordered both but only want to keep one pair. Both feel fairly comfy but not sure which is least fugly. Bit concerned the plain gold fit flop ones make my short wide feet look like flippers

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/05/2019 14:34

I prefer the criss cross pair.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 03/05/2019 14:35

OhSnake very nice!

Alsohuman · 03/05/2019 14:40

@pasta, I like both, neither of them are fugly enough for me, though!

AnotherEmma · 03/05/2019 14:53

pasta
I think I prefer the criss-cross pair but would ideally like to see a photo of them from the side (outside edge of foot) before giving my final answer!
In general I like criss-cross straps as I find them more flattering on my feet. I do think yours look lovely although a small niggle is that I would prefer a uniform colour, all metallic rather than the two matte brown straps.

Fere · 03/05/2019 14:56

@Ofthread I bought those Teva sandals from Asos you linked at the beginning of this thread, they are amazingly comfy, the grater like shoe sole doesn't bother me at all

JaneJeffer · 03/05/2019 17:12

pasta the crossed ones are definitely nicer

ElspethFlashman · 03/05/2019 17:26

pasta keep the crossed pair.

I saw these on ASOS and whilst I normally absolutely hate Tevas, this colourway is the prettiest I've seen.

pasta where are the crisscross ones from pls?? I missed them on the thread... they're gorgeous.

SevenSeasofRye · 03/05/2019 20:20

Birkenstock Gizeh. I have several pairs and think they are the best things ever.

Ellapaella · 03/05/2019 20:53

@pastaparadise keep the cross cross ones - they're lovely. You have very nice feet.

pastaparadise · 03/05/2019 22:08

ella thanks. strange how the shoes make my feet look so different they almost look like they belong to different people!

badgerama they're from la redoute. Someone upthread spotted them. Suede effect sole and glitter straps which are less practical than the fit flop ones but verdict seems unanimous so keeping them Smile
