August wedding guest and need shoes/sandals

Let me start by saying that I’ll be building my outfit round my footwear 🤣
We’ve been invited to a family wedding in August. Smart country house type venue with a formal dress code. I’m in the father of the bride’s generation.

Over the last few years I’ve been prioritising comfort over style and I’ve lived in Fitflops, birkies, Skechers etc. I have boots for cold weather and brogues (which I hate) for smarter occasions which I wear with trousers. I also have a crate full of heels and strappy sandals which make me wince to think about wearing them.

So I need something dressy but comfortable and it needs to be either a timeless classic that I’ll get years of use from or a really cheap throwaway that I can charity shop afterwards. Size 3.5 - 4 wide fitting and I’m short in stature.

Any suggestions?

I’m sorted with a pair of Clarks but I have a pair of sketchers wedges on the way. I’m going to change into birkies as soon as possible.

I don’t like Sezane’s current offerings much. The flats are ok but not ok enough to spring nearly £200 on them and I really hate block heels.
