What's your favourite slip-on summer sandal?

I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of slip-on summer sandals. No fiddly buckles, etc. Just something I can slide my feet straight into and run about on errands! I really like Birkenstocks but alas I have tiny feet and they look a bit ridiculous on me. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My Birkenstock’s. Can you not get the slim ones?

styleseeker72 · 04/07/2020 19:27

@Evelefteden I think it's because they're quite chunky, they do fit fine but they just look odd on me.

Reef Ginger flip flops. I’ve been wearing them for the last 20 years (not the same pair obv Grin) and I always come back to them. Like walking on clouds. I’m a big fan of my salt waters too but trying to get them on and off while holding a baby is a pain in the arse. Couldn’t get on with the Birkies or Havianas I’ve tried at all

I love my havaianas never find them too big or bulky and I'm fairly petite
I love these but I have very broad feet ( hobbit like) Grin

Fit flop flip flops - can wear them anywhere.

More formally I have pair of fly sandals that are really comfy and look great

These tan leather Zara ones. They have never given me blisters and they go with everything.

Menorcan sandals, specifically Solillas

I have teeny feet and wear Birkenstocks-have never found anything as comfortable. I get the slim ones and they don’t look clunky.

These from Moshulu (a bit like Birkenstock’s though)

Minorcan sandals, so comfy and cool looking.

Thanks all. I ended up ordering a different style of Birks with thinner straps (the Mayari ones) in the hope they look less clunky on me!

Mayari are great and slightly less like boats than Arizona

They look great, thanks for the recommendation!

I have this style and love them, I was going to suggest looking at children's Birkenstock's! I'm a 5/6 in an adult but randomly a 4 on a kids and they are a slimmer fit.
