I have wasted so much money on "comfortable" sandals

[Bluemuf]

Over the years. I end up with sandals that are neither pretty/stylish nor properly comfortable by trying to get something that fit both bills.

But these are OK? I think?

Sorry OP, I personally think they’re awful 😳 Have you tried Birkenstocks? They’re not the most beautiful shoes ever but are super comfy and I’ve seen them on plenty of stylish women…

They look similar to the ones posted on the Hotter thread. Have a look on that?

I recommend Saltwater sandals. Mine are 5 years old now and still look brand new.

I agree. Sorry. They also don’t look comfortable to me.

Sorry op, I don’t think these come under pretty OR stylish 😳

Fitflops are amazing. I have some leather sandals and a pair of trainers and both are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Some styles are too old for me, but their plain leather sandals and white trainers have been a bloody godsend. I can't cope with uncomfortable shoes any more. Not a bad price either.

I like em

Have a look on the Skechers website. I have broad feet, a high instep and cannot wear anything flat as there's not enough arch support. Everything I have from Skechers is very comfortable, from toe post flip flops to sandals to trainers.

Air & Grace. Not cheap but extremely comfortable and stylish.

Birkenstocks give me blisters every year but these have been amazing. I have these: https://airandgracelondon.com/collections/sandals/products/lena-leopard-suede-sandals?variant=33132407947307
but I will probably invest in another style.

I don't like the white soles on those, sorry. My Hotter thread has mixed viewpoints, but I really like the look of them and I'm hoping they are going to be as comfortable as people say they are.

@MissDynamite23 They're lovely but ouch re the price!

I like them too. My 17 year old DD has some very similar. Loads of people were wearing similar ones on holiday last summer.

Birkenstock's are the most comfortable shoes known to mankind 😍

Birkenstocks give me blisters. Last couple of summers I've written seasalt sandals, the softest leather you can imagine and the soles are padded and flexible.
Probably not going to win any fashion awards but I like them

I quite like them in gold or blue…the buckle is nice. Skechers used to be great for high comfy wedges but they’re not as good these days. Same with Crocs wedges. Carvela Comfort are quite good….I had some that looked quite delicate but lasted a couple of summers of very heavy wear.

These are some of the ones I have. I'd never shopped there before, but they did great blue light discount during Covid !

After years of wearing birkenstocks, i tried timberland sandals last year and found them very comfortable. I am restricted by wide feet but these worked well for me. I would choose others if my feet could get into them.

I like the Gabor ones too, although I like them with suede uppers rather than leather, as they destroy my feet less.

I have very difficult feet too, and Gabor is pretty comfortable, and I don't think looks that bad, compared to what else I could be wearing!

Go for them, if you like them.

I have narrow feet - for me Tevas, Doc Martens work.

I thought Debenhams had gone bust?
Hotter has a sale on at the moment and are made in the UK.

I really like Sorel sandals! Comfy and stylish enough.

The Seasalt ones have no arch support. How can they be comfy?They look flimsy

What brands/styles have you tried, @Bluemuf ?

Always Teva’s for me - been wearing them for at least 2 decades, comfortable, long lasting and decent for long walking days
