So, I really want a comfy pair of open toed sandals. I wear birkenstocks, which I love, but want something new. I've got bunions and I need the sandal to be supportive.

I saw these and tried them on

I thought they were really comfy but they're £100 in store. I've never spent that much on sandals!

Any thoughts from Sketcher fans? Any alternatives? I'm going to Asia in the summer and it will be hot, humid and lots of walking...

Not a sketchers fan at all. But Teva HURRICANE DRIFT are cheaper, lighter, waterproof and so so comfy.

Have you tried Crocs? These are very comfortable, I live in these all summer. www.crocs.co.uk/p/all-terrain-sandal/207711.html?cgid=women-footwear-sandals&cid=1FH#start=1

Oh they look nice - will they be 'sticky' in very humid weather because of the material?

I've got a pair of Teva Tirras, so comfy. They have reduced my ankle pain when walking too

princessbear80 · 27/05/2023 16:39

Another shout for Teva! I like the midform ones.

M&m direct sell reduced price ex-season Skechers sandals https://www.mandmdirect.com/02/fts/?devicetype=2&fhhviewsize=96&fhhlocation=//catalog01/en_GB/$s=Akechers/website%3E%7Bmandmgbp%7D/productsalesgender%3E%7Bwomens%7D/category%3E%7Bflipflopsandsandals%7D

As do Sports Direct but I prefer not to buy there.

Roselilly36 · 27/05/2023 16:51

I was tempted by Teva, but I love Skechers and too my surprise they do a very similar design too Teva, bought them, they are absolutely amazing, so comfortable, just about to order another pair in black, I ordered charcoal originally, they also do navy.

There’s a Skechers outlet store near me that sells the shoes at discounted prices (compared to the website). It might be worth seeing if there’s any outlet shops near you?

Alternatively I’ve found some comfy walking sandals in Mountain Warehouse before.

I bought these from Wyndsor’s last week for £42, they’re very comfortable.

These ?

https://www.asos.com/prd/204271497?acquisitionsource=pasteboard

They come in plain white as well.

Sorryyoufeelthatwayy · 27/05/2023 17:50

@backtohowthingswere no its weird, I thought they might be sticky, but they aren't at all. And i only wear leather inner sandals usually. Asos or amazon often have deals btw.

Astrabees · 27/05/2023 18:05

I was offered a 20% discount when I logged on to look at them - does that make them more affordable?

Snozzlemaid · 27/05/2023 18:31

Shop around online.
You can usually find them cheaper from another store.

Xrays · 27/05/2023 19:03

M and M direct are worth a look for cheap Sketchers.

backtohowthingswere · 28/05/2023 08:06

Thanks all - some good suggestions. I can't find the Sketchers pair anywhere else - they're a new line, so no outlet will stock them yet. I appreciate the suggestions. When you have bunions, flat feet and osteoporosis, the sandal is KING.
