Looking for pretty, comfortable sandals

80 replies

WaterWall22 · 23/04/2024 12:59

Inspired by the current Birkenstock thread...

Can anyone help me find comfortable sandals that are also pretty? I want to be able to walk in them so would like proper soles but not typical walking sandals. I have Saltwater sandals but find them too flat to be nice looking with skirts or even that comfortable.

I quite like the look of these https://olukai.co.uk/products/waiau-womens-leather-slingback-sandals-silver?currency=GBP&variant=45276290187554&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=fe172cebc4b5&gad_source=1

I'm not familiar with the brand and not sure they'd be comfortable enough for longer walks in a city/on cobbled streets.
Some of the Fitflop ones look quite nice too but perhaps a little bulky.

Any ideas?

Blowfish granola. I have plantar fasciitis but they are so comfy and come in lots of designs

I think if you have plantar fasciitis or have suffered from it then anything without a wedge (like on Fitflops) so completely flat will end up killing your feet.

A friend of mine got some flip flops from Peacocks with a wedge sole and said they were perfect with her PF recovery feet.

I'd go with a brand like Josef Seibel, Hotter, Gabor or Rieker.
I have some Pikolinos and they're fine.

I'd put comfort before pretty. The brands I mention are not everyone's taste but they do different styles.

I was very surprised the other year to get Joseph Seibel gold strappy sandals. Very comfy and look prettyish too.

I swear by these:

I've had my pair 3 years now and they're still perfect and incredibly comfy, I wear them almost every day in the summer and can walk for miles in them. They don't look like crocs on they just look like pretty sandals.

This reminds me I did once have some incredibly comfy Crocs sandals that were a bit like this -- the dimples on the footbed massage your feet as you walk.

I've been wearing this style from Josef Seibel for a couple of years. They are so comfortable, much prettier on than they look - tat crossover strap is ever so flattering. Come in lots of different colours. When I was trying on a new pair in the shop last week two other customers also tried them on as they said they looked so good ....and I have really non pretty feet so they must be nice. https://josefseibel.co.uk/products/josef-seibel-tonga-25?variant=42444084379891

Your post made me look at those sandals. I ummed and ahhed for a couple of weeks but finally ordered a white pair and they arrived today.

@AlanBrendaCelia I hope you like them and find them as comfortable as I do.
