Non frumpy flat sandals

Sorry, another sandals post!
I need to upgrade my almost worn out summer sandals, but there’s so much to choose from. I want something flat ( but not too flat, like flip flop flat! ) and comfy enough to walk a lot in. But not too frumpy/mumsy. Was thinking maybe DM sandals or similar?
Basically I’m mid forties and starting to feel a bit boring and middle aged. I want something practical, but also a bit cool and fashionable to make me feel better 😁I also have quite small feet and thin ankles ( though my legs are fairly sturdy ) so not sure if chunky ones will work.

@poopyface
I always thought I could never wear saltwater sandals as my feet were too wide. I describe my feet as spades as they are short, square and very wide but I bought a pair of their ‘classic’ sandals in the sale as I loved the colour and I’m really surprised at how well they fit. As they are leather they have also ‘given’ a bit with wear so don’t rule them out completely.

Yeah! Any suggestions. Also if they could dis retell cover my bunions. Unfortunately FitFlops just emphasise these. A simple flower like decoration at the toe lime would do the trick. But it’s obviously an idea that’s just too Genius for designers of Fitflops.

Sanosan are made in Spain leather and cork footbed sandals. Very comfy, a cheaper alternative to Birkenstocks

I have several pairs of these which I buy when they are on promotion - currently 30% off

I have walked miles sightseeing in them.

Jumping in to ask if anyone can recommend any non-frumpy sandals with arch support? I need to wear orthotic insoles in my normal shoes but obviously you can't do that with sandals.

Thanks!
