Comfortable but nice sandals

[Popsicle30]

I’m looking for a pair of sandals that I can walk around in that are comfortable but not too big/chunky.

I do like a footbed style but open to other ideas. I’d be wearing them on a summer city break and for general use over summer.

Ideally tan or black colour. Budget, ideally under £90.

Suggestions welcomed.

I like Moshulu but mostly came in here to look at other suggestions. My comfy leather sandles are about give up on me and I'd rather have more padding this time round.

The last leather sandals I got a wet r from new look btw and have lasted 10 years!

Birkenstocks! I would wear them all day every day if I could. I've done city breaks, backpacking, beach holidays in them. They are so comfortable and last forever.

Birkenstocks, but can only walk far in the ones that have ankle straps - there's a few styles like that.

Moshulu...I have rainbow ginger ale style and wore them everywhere last summer and will do again this year.

Thanks! Some great suggestions here. I’ve got a few in my basket with Moshulu and going shopping today so going to go and try some others whilst I’m out and about. I want to get some purchased sooner rather than later.

Debenhams also sell Moshulu and have free delivery at the moment so you save a little bit of money.

I have a pair of their toe post sandals in tan and they're very comfy and go with anything. I wore them loads last summer and they're showing very little wear.

I find Birkenstocks really uncomfortable for the same reason as Lakie Lady. They just are not right for my feet.

I have several pairs of Tevas, they are the only sandals I find comfortable now. I have Universal midforms which are great, and some older styles which are no longer available, they are all equally comfortable.

I had some lovely Moshulu sandals 7 or 8 years ago and after they fell apart I tried a couple of other pairs but they weren't as good.

@Popsicle30 are your feet wide or narrow?
I have very narrow feet so birkenstock type sandals don't work.
I have Rieker ones, they have a nice chunky sole so are comfy underfoot and aren't too wide (adjustable straps too).

another vote for moshulu; love em and rarely buy shoes anywhere else now.

Fantasy Sandals - suede footbed so no sliding around, flexible domes but also flat form and wedges. So soft. They are Greek and come in lovely styles and colours - I swopped between a style with a toe-post similar to Birkenstock Maharis (but so much softer) and a flatform pair walking around Venice last year. I just buy a new style every year now. Quite a collection and not outrageous prices.

I like Hotter sandals. Most of them come in 3 width fittings, and they're the only ones I can put on new and wear all day.

I got some black Hotter Tourist last year, after reading about them on here. I love them.

I LOVE these. Thank you.

How worried are you about being stylish OP? And also how old are you?

This is a perennial irritant for me- narrow flat inverted feet who enjoys walking - if I don’t have enough arch support it seems to cause pain in knees, hips, back & agony in feet. Last Spring I had a physio assess and she made me realise it happens every year with the switch to sandals. I blow a fortune on sandals! Ones that make it worse; Birkenstocks ( footbed too flat), any flat sandal and tevas ( initially seem comfy but then suspected I was getting arthritis until realising it was teva induced) . The whistles, hush, MV vionic ones etc with the leather footbed and raised arch are a game changer as I love slides. The FitFlop’s are comfy too but they don’t age well - the sole has lifted off a pair I bought 2 weeks ago . I’m hoping retailers will cotton on that we want more fashionable & comfy shoe ranges!

Agree. I cannot wear Birkenstock they’re excruciatingly uncomfortable. Like having my feet grated

That website is so awful I'm not sure I can face buying from them! If you don't know what you want it seems impossible to see everything.

Thanks all for continuing to make suggestions.

In terms of the width of my feet I’m probably in the middle. Not overly narrow or wide.

Age wise I’m early forties. I want something comfortable that looks nice to wear during the day with shorts/skirts/dresses/jeans/linen trousers.

im waiting for the Moshulu ones to arrive and see what I think and then I’m hitting the shops. It didn’t happen in the end yesterday.

Try Ecco, I’ve machine washed mine in the past. Almost indestructible. The fit tends to be good for flatter narrow heeled feet as they tend to be more snug over the instep and heel.

Look at Fitflop! ❤️

I find Birkenstocks hurt my feet! I’ve had a similar pair to these Clarks ones for a few years and they are the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever had -https://www.clarks.com/en-gb/elizabelle-sky/26177124-p. The padded sole makes all the difference for me ( they have the same sole in a few styles). Plus ankle strap so they don’t slip off and proper grip underneath.

I've had boots from there and they are lush and appear well made. My slippers were comfy but developed a hole quite quickly with limited use. Probably should have sent them back really.

I love my saltwater sandals and live in them all summer, they are super versatile.

I find them great for walking in, perfect for holidays from city breaks to beach days paddling in the sea in them.

Super comfy and stylish, they go with anything.

I have the originals in tan www.salt-watersandals.co.uk/collections/womens-brown-sandals/products/original-tan-womens-sandals

They also do a bigger sole in the swimmer style, as the originals are quite flat but they suit my feet perfectly and don't rub at all

I'm going to invest in another pair this year when I can decide on which other colour to have!

I recently bought some cheap sandals on the Everything £5 website fearing the worst as I have wide feet and I hate walking in completely flat sandals, they looked sort of comfy so I thought, nothing to lose. They are so, so comfortable and not too bad looking either. If I find them, I will post a link.

I have some Birkenstocks but they hurt my knees if I wear them (as they put all the weight through the heel of your foot rather than the ball) -

Anyone else find this - and if so what sandals do you prefer?
