Comfortable sandals

[FreezingJane]

This summer I’m off on a holiday where I anticipate there will be a lot of walking. Can anyone recommend some comfortable (but still relatively stylish) footwear?

I like leather and must have a strap around the ankle/back of foot.

I spent a bit on a really nice pair of Timberland moulded sandals last summer, but after one wear at the weekend, they’re rubbing.

What are your most comfy sandals?

@Thankgoditsbedtyme These. Wore them years ago. Not for summer, though.

I like the timberland ones. Are they heavy?

Saltwater. I have tricky, sensitive feet, prone to rubbing and these sandals are the best things I have ever bought. They are leather and come in a thicker or thinner sole. I've had both and the thicker sole does give more comfort, although both feel beautiful to wear.

Agree, the Dr Martin sandals are so comfortable but also supportive. I’ve had mine 2 years and they somehow still look brand new so they also wear very well.

Crocs. I’ve done a lot of walking in them and they’re so comfortable. Get a couple in different colours.

I know I've missed the point, but I read 'Comfortable Salads' 🤣👀🤣

Is one wear enough?I find you often need a few wears to make shoes comfortable?

I've also got narrow feet. Tevas were so uncomfortable - too wide and the metal strap connector dug right into my ankle. I'd bought 2 pairs and they both went straight to the charity shop.

I don't buy any sandals now unless they're adjustable over the foot - too much sliding about. Clarks generally fit me well, moshulus are far too wide

What a great thread.....on the back of which I have just ordered a pair of Seawater Swimmer sandals and two pairs of Trespass Kimbras! Thank you OP, hope you find some nice sandals for your holiday too

Geox Spherica sandals. The comfiest I’ve ever had. Stylish too! Tevas for all terrain walking.

this is the link to the Geox Spherica sandals - they suit wide feet.

Karrimor Salina in suede. I did Disney, Universsl and Rome in mine.

Vionic - designed by podiatrist fed up with how shoes seemed either comfy OR cute. Not the cheapest but excellent value for money.

I bought children’s Tevas and they are very slim.

I wanted some that were fashionable and comfortable enough to wear to walk a mile or two in the Greek heat; I’ve worn Blowfish Malibu sandals before so I ordered these from Schuh which looked good for my feet (which are prone to swelling in the heat).
they fit well, I just need to wear them in before my holiday.

I walked 10 miles in the Greek heat in my Tourist sandals last year. I’ve just seen that they now do a leopard print version- tempted!

Happy feet wear Sketchers 😁. You can thank me later 👌

I have very narrow feet - Karrimor nice and narrow

@TessTimoney are the mesh straps stretchy ?

I’m a massive fan of saltwaters but as I’ve got older the ones with the flat soles aren’t that supportive for long walks - the ones with the thick soles however are incredible! (They are called swimmers or boardwalk) and they look lovely too. I’ve got a few pairs in different colours and I live in them in the summer.

Hotter! Have got about 8 pairs that I've picked up in sales or at the outlet and they're all amazingly comfy. Never found shoes that are reliably non rubbing before. Also love their boots.

I like Tourist but the foot bed makes my feet sweaty as is the case with most hotter sandals

i wish they still did narrow fittings

I also recommend Gracie Fit flop sandals. I’m just back from a holiday in Spain with lots of walking. They were brilliant and I only wore them once beforehand for a couple of hours. Mine are the matt buckle fisherman sandals so slightly different style from the previous recommendations.
