What's your style this year? I've loved menorcan sandals, arizonas, various little simple strap sandals and this year I'm wondering about something a bit more chunky.
Quite like these from timberland

But hard to say without trying them on. Not my usual style at all! But would love something super comfy to see me through summer.

I’ve just bought 3 pairs of Birkenstocks.

Which ones did you buy? I've just ordered my first ever pair (dark brown leather Milanos), and I can't wait for them to arrive!

I hope they're as comfy as they look...I have plantar fibroma in both feet 😢

I really wish you hadn't put a link to those Marni sandals BigSkies22! They are simply perfect.

BigSkies2022 · 10/05/2022 13:10

I'm sorry if I am leading you astray, Brand! But there are discount outlets like Lyst that sell them for less. I didn't use this because I wanted to use Paypal and that wasn't a method accepted. Or you could beg everyone to contribute to a 'BrandNewBicep's Birthday Bonanza fund' like NOW and get the cash together that way...?

I just bought the Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle in cognac and I am in love.

The colour is the perfect brown between business and casual. The gold buckle is really gold and I was worried it might be garish but it adds some pizazz. The sole is brown which means sweaty feet won't show as quick. The undersole is cream which looks fab with the brown. And so comfy.

I also saw on their website that they can be resoled! So I think they could last a decade. Really happy with them for smart casual wear.

MistySkiesAreGone · 10/05/2022 15:51

The leather has that lovely worn look.

BrandNewBicep · 10/05/2022 16:32

BigSkies22 - I like your thinking!

BonjourCrisette · 10/05/2022 23:16

Your sandals are gorgeous, @BigSkies2022

I’m still going with my crocs huarache from years ago, best sandals ever but they no longer make them.

I’ve bought two pairs this year; platform tevas and hush puppies Gladiators which are insanely comfortable, very good for wide feet.

I love the white ones

@KittenKong I've been lusting after these for ages! I now have a £40 etsy voucher for my birthday and they will be mine! Which colour to choose though?

Notarealmum · 11/05/2022 09:30

Just seen these Marni sandals on eBay for anyone who takes size 7.5...

I've gone chunky this year.

I got these in tan (no longer on the website, were on sale so I got them for £20!).

I've gone for these as they're quite similar to the DM sandals but a bit less chunky, which is better for me as I'm short with small feet.

I bought these fisherman sandals too. I tried a pair of more delicate fisherman sandals but I looked like I was wearing childrens' shoes so I think the chunkiness balances that out.

I'm also considering a pair of Saltwater sandals for something more casual and easy to wear.

VintageGibbon · 11/05/2022 12:20

They look great.

BrandNewBicep · 11/05/2022 13:36

No, No, No Notarealmum - please don't show me any more of those Marni sandals at reduced prices. They are looking positively bargainous now!!

Notarealmum · 12/05/2022 02:04

I know, @BrandNewBicep, it’s probably a good thing they’re not my size!

KittenKong · 16/05/2022 18:34

Ok so my sandals arrived today… they look (and smell) like something you’d buy in a Cairo market (which I have) and the ones that looked like they had the woven soles (like espadrilles) are solid (so patterned to look like they are rope). Not £40ish worth of shoe!

The acid test is when I wear them tomorrow! The sizes are fine though (I’m a 5 and ordered the US 7 and they are ok).

I’m a wee bit disappointed - but if they are super comfy I will be happy.

oobedobe · 16/05/2022 20:51

got these and I am really happy with them :), the chunky sole is updating all my summer outfits nicely. Super comfortable too.

Soooo...have we got a 2022 sandals thread yet?
KittenKong · 16/05/2022 21:10

They look nice - but I have feet life hooves and won’t inflict them on others! 😆

KittenKong · 17/05/2022 17:47

Ok so my sandals - wore them for about 15k stems and… actually comfy! No socks and one did start to be a little scratchy in the top of my toe as I got to my front step (coming home). So pleasantly surprised!

they don’t look like they will be very robust but I kill shoes.
