Funky but functional sandals?

I'm getting excited for the spring and summer coming and want to be ready with a comfy but funky pair of sandals! I never seem to get the balance right, I usually go for Clarks but they seem to verge on frumpy and clumpy.
Can anyone suggest somewhat else that will be just as comfy?

Not sure what your budget is but I had these made by Green Shoes and they are comfortable and funky in a crunchy way to my mind. Not everyones taste admittedly but they are made to fit your feet and will last years...
Those are lovely but I have just looked up how much they cost Shock

I know-- but good shoes are my thing and the only thing I ever spend any money on. I am not a jewellery/handbag person and generally buy second hand clothes.

I think of it as cost per wear and expect they will still be useable in a decade. The also have the advantage of being repairable. Smile

Oh wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I really like those camper ones but I'm off to Google all the other suggestions!
I wish asos still had them in stock for you! I cannot say enough good things about the camper ones. Hope you find some!

In a moment of madness I have ordered these, never has Fit Flops before.

I've heard great things about saltwater sandles but are they too mumsy and frumpy

If you are petite, tanned and have very slim legs and ankles, saltwater sandals look great.

On the average middle aged woman they are very frumpy and unflattering. They look cute on kids though.

Enjoy!

I have these ones, but in gold - www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/tia-leather-sandals-p-L36#098

They’re unbelievably comfy and you don’t notice the thicker sole.
