Are chunky sandals still in?

I like both of the attached, but can anyone recommend any in case I prefer them, please?

Thanks.

They are so ugly. I'm in my 60s and wouldn't be seen dead in them

I wouldn't be seen dead in something a 60 year old would wear 🤷🏼‍♀️

I knew there would be nicer ones. Thank you. Now I've got to decide which ones!

I had this dilemma last year before buying the M&S ones - I wore the black all summer and they still look brand new. I think the ones you already liked are nice! Go on price and material durability?

I love fit flop- toeposts and boots all mega comfortable.

Two of my 20 something DDs have been buying these chunky sandals for a couple of summers now.
First summer i was 😲
Last year i was 🤔
This year - 😍i think i'll get a pair!

I'm slow on the uptake but i've got there.

Love the M&S ones in silver.

I'm nearly 60 and wouldn't wear what a 60 yr old would wear if it's what @TempletonTheRat linked to, but what does that even mean anyway! My mum wouldn't touch those with a barge pole and she's 83.

FWIW I like the sandals OP linked to 👍

I'm in my 60s and have the ones from marks.

@TempletonTheRat do you have a link to those, please? 🤣

@Laiste that's exactly how I've been. And because it's been a few years, I was wondering if they're on the way out so I wasn't sure I wanted to spend loads of money on a spit I'll only wear for a few months. But I'm thinking, screw it. Get a decent pair!

I've been eyeing up the Marks ones in black

For those who've got them, are they comfortable?

InspiredToBoot · 26/04/2023 06:30

I'm in my 50s and the chunkier the better as far as I'm concerned.

This got unpleasant fast. Look, different people like different things, why take it so personally and lash out? You like your fugly chunky shoes? Have the courage of your conviction.

Pinkflamingopants · 26/04/2023 07:10

It was a weird thing for the PP to point out they're in their 60s though- it's irrelevant to the OPs question and hardly an age group people look to what's in style.

midsomermurderess · 26/04/2023 07:13

The generally, spiteful, look at these nasty oldie shoes for you, is so unnecessary. It does s-eat to a high level of insecurity.

Justkoko · 26/04/2023 07:22

Op what were the second pair called? They've a really similar look to some of the docs ones. I like them both by the way.

Nasty. As are some of the sandals on here. The Orinocos are very unlovely.

OP do you wear jeans much? T-shirts? What is your general style?

ShandaLear · 26/04/2023 07:46

I have the DM Blaires in black and white and they are the best sandals in the world. They were comfortable right from the beginning, and go with absolutely everything.
