Need some supportive sandals

[NoLongerAnEasyTarget]

I've officially got to that age where I can no long walk in flip flops.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a slip on sandal that supports your feet properly.

I hate having my feet covered in the summer but my usual flip flops now give me a painful hip.

Oh god I'm middle aged aren't I!

Have you tried Birkenstocks?

Not recently. Tried them years ago and found they were very hard and the shape they were moulded didn't suit my feet. I have weird shaped feet! V wide at the front, v skinny at the back, with a high arch.

Have you looked at Saltwater sandals? They do a slip on version.

Teva! Some of the styles are a bit rugged or sporty but I can walk for miles in them.

Thanks I will have a look at their websites.

Does anyone have any experience of these?

Vionics

Fitflops! Loads of different styles and amazingly comfortable.

I live and die in fit-flops. Loads of different styles

Birkenstock's have some soft footbed ones and the pool versions are amazingly comfortable

Fit flops

Hotter - not cheap but well made

Saltwater sandals look lovely but are completely flat, no padding underfoot whatsoever.

For comfy supportive sandals I always go to Clarks. If you google “Clarks outlet” their sale website comes up and you might find some bargains.

Bionics and Hotter. Hotter work better for me. I found the avionics ok for an evening but not for a whole day. Tbh when I'm at the beach or by the pool Crocs are best. They're very supportive which I need as I suffer with plantar fasciitis.

I hope you manage to find something that works for you.
