Too early for a comfortable sandal thread?

[JaceLancs]

I’ve got a holiday in a few weeks and it will be warm enough for sandals but we will be doing a lot of walking
I struggle with balancing comfort with not too frumpy and have just bought these
opinions please and any alternatives

I love the brand fitflops. They don't do just flip flops. Like walking on a cloud. Loads of support

It's never too early Jace 🤣

I've bought these already from M&S, had to size down because I'm not a wide fitting!

Birkenstock all the way.

Ah I see you're looking for advice on your sandals . I think they look quite nice, are they Gabor?

I bought some Uber comfy (but not frumpy) sandals from Hotter last year.

I love Hotter sandals and never buy anything else. They are so comfortable and well made and they last and last. I buy them in the sale at the end of the season.

Saltwater sandals are very comfortable and waterproof www.salt-watersandals.com/gb-en/

I only wear Birkenstocks and Saltwaters. The Saltwaters are amazingly comfortable around the top of my foot but a bit flat for lots of walking on hard surfaces so I keep them for sand and watery things that would ruin the Birkies. I have my eye on the newer Saltwaters with a chunkier sole.

I love saltwater and Birkenstock

I second fitflops. Also Vionic sandals with a built in orthotic insole

Yes it's way too early I'm still in thermal everything 😆
Another vote for Fitflop they do lots of lovely sandals.

Check out Naots. They tend to have a bit narrower footbed than Birkenstock, and more options with straps on the heels.

I like those OP. I'd wear them. I find Gabor comfortable. I also like Fitflop summer sandals but their prices have sky rocketed.

Oh, and I do like those that you chose. They will go with anything.

Do any come with toe-posts? I want to be able to drive in them too? Thanks

I should qualify: with tie posts and ankle straps, I can't see any on the fitflop website ( and most of them are waaay out of my price range!).

Yes they are Gabor - which normally are too wide for me but I went down a size
I have a few pairs of fit flops from
previous years but the slip
on mule type - I did buy some sandal style ones last summer but they gave me blisters so sold on eBay after 2 wears

They were in sale 1/2 price which helped my decision and I don’t have any other tan sandals
you have all reminded me that I bought some yellow hotter sandals in a sale last autumn and no idea where I put them away to!

I know they're a bit of a cliche on here but I really love my rose gold saltwaters - seem to go with everything and are SO comfortable. And if not saltwaters, my khaki Birkenstocks which are about 23 years old and still going strong!

Birkenstock but they’re starting to be so expensive. The new pair I like £124. I must resist
