The Summer Sandal Thread

[SpeckledyHen]

I’ll kick off with these ( in my dreams)

Still love my Salties. So very very comfortable.

I want some red ones, but can't find what I want anywhere. Need them to have more cushioning than Saltwaters.

I've just bought these. Not worn them yet obviously but the leather is lovely and soft.

If only they were not so flat, Vickers. They're really cute.

I’m very close to buying these, hovering over loving them and thinking they’re a bit tragic.

I really need some summery shoes that have closed toes (running long distances has given me a black toenail which won’t grow out in time for summer ) if anyone has seen any!

Get your toes painted @Salanda? Gel polish lasts absolutely ages

@Jjjjjj1981

Get your toes painted *@Salanda*? Gel polish lasts absolutely ages

Won’t disguise it I’m afraid as the nail will eventually drop off

@Salanda I agree with @keeponkeepinon about these, I usually buy solillas but they are all similar, and very comfy!
@Jjjjjj1981 why are they tragic? I’ve just bought some DM Blaires and I love them.

If money was no issue I’d buy these www.gina.com/en/lexi/beige-chic

Otherwise rose gold salt waters

Oh @SpeckledyHen those are beautiful - so beautiful that I considered splurging. And then I looked at the price. That’s not a splurge, that’s insane! If anyone finds any like that but under £100 I will be forever grateful!

@Salanda
I have big toenails that would make children scream, and I like the Seasalt espadrilles, the Menorcan ones mentioned upthread, though I like a wedge (Ria are my favourites) and Fitflop did a nice closed toe a couple of years ago, but last year's were frumpy.
I'd love tiny dainty tanned feet so I could have strappy loveliness but it's not going to happen!

I agree Mary . I’d never pay that for a pair of sandals , but would love something similar but cheaper.

What is the cushioning like? I love lots of Seasalt stuff, but my feet need good cushioning!

Ive just bought the DM Blair’s - I may end up giving them to dd though - not sure if I’ve got the guts to wear them! I’ve got size 7 feet and not sure if they just look ugly 😂

I have these and they are so comfortable and bouncy. I usually spend summer in Birkenstocks but bought these last year for a change.

I’ve got these from New Look, so comfortable, very padded and not totally flat - that just gives me back ache. I’m definitely keeping the white, as they are more stone, actually a really nice colour, but I’m torn between the sage and the black?

Following for all these suggestions, I usually like dainty tan leather sandals as I have neat and thin feet but quite chunky legs so I find chunky sandals just make my legs look bigger and my feet look like i'm wearing someone else's shoes. However I have absolutely buggered my shin and walking in completely flat sandals is impossible.
I was thinking birkenstocks for the arch support but would appreciate any other suggestions of sandals with a bit of support and cushioning

I have no suggestions but I will be following this thread with great interest. I've been looking in vain for the perfect sandals for years.

My holy grail: not black, with good arch support, and some kind of heel or ankle strap. And not too expensive! I really like the ones in the OP but the price...

I want to like the seasalt ones but they look too flat. I like the DMs (I live in DM boots in winter) but they only come in black.

I’ve just bought DM Clarissa’s. Can’t wait to wear them! ://www.drmartens.com/uk/en_gb/p/womens-sandals-milled-nappa-clarissa-ii-quad-platform

@VallarMorghulis the DM Blaires come with a white upper... but no ankle strap.

@keeponkeepinon @Procrastatron @StepOutOfLine thank you - good ideas, I’m just having a browse of those brands now, which look promising! It’s so annoying that toenails take so long to grow out!

I love these but I have a high instep so not sure if they'd fit, and wide too.
