Bored of Birkenstocks - what are the alternatives?

Don't get me wrong, I love Birkenstocks. But I'd like some alternatives in my wardrobe this summer. Is there anything as comfortable? Maybe something a bit more stylish? Could have a little bit of height. Does anyone have any suggestions? But not FitFlop. I find them 100% fugly!

I love Menorcan sandals and they seem to be available everywhere in every colour and flat or with a wedge heel.

I love traditional Greek leather sandals - there are loads of different styles on Etsy and I've always found them super comfortable too.

I love my Saltwaters.

@Etinox - I can never keep sling backs on unfortunately

Vionic have some nice styles. Also shaped inside.

Saltwater sandals are super comfy and lovely.

@Sally99 @missl1 (?)
Somehow the Menorcan sandles dont rely on the sling back but on the over the foot bit. Rubbish for showing off your toes though!

I've recently bought these, though they've not arrived yet! I have high hopes for them though. I have had saltwaters too before, which are very comfy, but I wanted something that looked a little bit smarter . I'm not sure if these do or not, but they feel a bit smarter to me...

@Etinox. I'll go and try some on as I do really like them. I like that they don't have an ankle type strap as these shorten my legs.

I second what @Etinox says. I’ve had these in glitter for the last three summers and just love them! So comfy and look great.
