Help me find some sandals

I work in a school and we have to wear sandals with a slingback. I'm really struggling to find some that tick all the boxes!
They need to be black, comfy, have some sort of arch support, not chunky sole.
I've spent hours looking Confused

I forgot to add, they need to be wide fit too

Tamaris sandals don’t have arch supports as such, but they are very comfy.

This year I defected from my trusty Birkenstocks to the Saltwater sandals with the thicker sole. Again, no arch support as such but comfier than Birkenstocks and I have worn them every day (weather permitting) since I got them.

Good luck finding something suitable!

Are these foot beds shaped enough?

They aren't explicitly wide fit, but fitted my fairly wide feet.

Or, not exactly sandals, but lighter than shoes

Some of these are lovely thank you, I'll have a proper look through

Some of the tamaris ones look nice, thanks!Smile
I love my Birkenstocks so much but sadly I'm not allowed to wear them in work. The ones with ankle straps are just a bit too chunky too.

the Birkenstock Milanos are no good? Or are they the ones that look too chunky to you. I dont like them on their own in photos but I’ve seen them on people irl and they have a geek chic cool thing happening

Rieker are really comfy

These Birkenstock aren’t chunky. I find Salt Water incredibly comfortable but they don’t have arch support.

I think so, I just don't know if they go with the types of dresses I wear (a lot of fatface) I think thinner straps across the top would look better.

These are lovely but I would prefer flat for work, it's more practical :)

I've only just seen this message but I literally ordered these sandals this morning. One of the reviews mentions not fitting narrow feet so fingers crossed they fit me! And they're on sale 🤞🏼
