I’ve had SaltWater ones for years and love the look and the fact you can get them wet, but they are very flat and hard on the soles. Bought Air and Grace ones which were quite comfy but sooo expensive and straps stretched too much, they don’t look great 1 year later. Looking for something that will wear well but with comfy padding and will look pretty. Not Birkenstocks or anything with the wide moulded footbed.
thanks in advance!

Understood @GinandGingerBeer I have bought lots of things from m and m direct over the years - never had an issue with them or returning items.

I got scammed by using a Teva link someone had posted on here last year.
The website looked exactly the same as the real one.

(Not saying any of the current links are scams but just make sure you're on a genuine website- search it yourself -)
Anyway!
I bought some Dune sandals yesterday
And they are extremely soft and comfortable. Various colours

Blimey that's a worry. I can't personally vouch for my links, because I just googled it to illustrate the ones I meant - but the two are from the same website even though they look strangely different for some reason.

I’m in the US. There is a brand here called Eileen Fisher with a signature sandal style I like . Good for walking. They have the same style in both sportier and more elegant variants. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/eileen-fisher-sport-platform-sandal/3620624

No that's not what I meant, you misunderstood me. I know Teva/mandm are genuine websites.
The link Posted here wasn't though but it looked exactly the same as the genuine one.
(Once again- apols to posters who have posted the links- just dont want anyone to get caught out like I did.)

The link I posted wasn't genuine? It definitely was as I had logged into my account through it, ordered something and could see my previous orders and delivery and cardholder addresses etc going back several years.

Which of these do you think look the best? Think they’d all be comfy.

I like the gold

Ireolu · 21/04/2024 23:06

Arizona love sandals for me.

Family143 · 22/04/2024 13:04

@Howmanyroses. In fact I have them in 2 different colours. I can walk miles in them. They are so comfortable with a padded footbed. They didn't need any bedding in at all.

Do you mean the moshulu ones?

I've got the Saltwater Swimmers, which are the ones with the thicker sole and they are really comfy, so much more so than the originals.

If you have an old pair of Saltwaters you can trade them in for £15 off the price of a new pair which is what I'm planning on doing as I want the Swimmers in navy

MatronPomfrey · 22/04/2024 18:07

I mostly wear Hotter tourist or tropic. Never paid full price, always get a code or buy in the sale. I can’t wear anything with a very flat sole. Esskas have a new sandal that I’d like to try.

Family143 · 22/04/2024 23:21

Sorry my post didn't make much sense.
I was referring to the Moda in Pelle ones Howmanyroses linked to. I have them in black and gold.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 23/04/2024 12:03

Those FitFlop Gracies sandals are really lovely OP, I hope you enjoy wearing them

Luhou · 23/04/2024 21:11

Oops, just seen you bought a simillar pair. Enjoy op

Complete off topic , I really like your sofa and wondered where it's from ?

Would anything from Moshulu be pretty enough? They are very comfortable.

Seconding this

GinandGingerBeer · 26/04/2024 16:29

@neonjumper
Thanks it's a very old Laura Ashley one.
It's really on its last legs now but we've had it since 2005 so can't complain!
I've no idea what the quality is like now (via next) I think it's the Gloucester one in large.

Amireallyhere · 28/04/2024 10:30

I would also recommend Moshulu. I bought my first pair about 10 years ago and have worn their sandals every summer since. I have pairs in loads of different colours. They are so comfy and the leather insole stop stinky feet.

Isabelle70 · 27/05/2024 10:27

@GlitteringUnicorn I like the look of the Gracie, are they as comfortable as other FitFlops? I have the Rally trainers and sliders and really like the comfort.
@Rosemarymary how are your sandals?
They look good for weekend away trips but also a nice shoe for everyday at work.

longtompot · 27/05/2024 12:33

I've been after some new sandals and typically the ones I like on Moshulu (Bigbury 2 and Budleia) aren't available in my size :(

Does anyone know of any other stockists?

They’re perfect! Sooo comfortable and pretty. Not worn them loads because of the crappy weather but I’ve worn them for a lot of walking about town and were instantly comfy and no wearing-in needed.

@Rosemarymary perfect, I will order a pair 😄
