Shoes/sandals with a firm heel counter?

[DaisyYellowGold]

I’ve been in pain with my foot for a couple of months now. I’ve been to see podiatrist and I’ve been told I have torn tendons/ligaments in the outside edge/middle of my foot. She said I need to wear shoes with a firm heel counter to support my foot. I work from home and will start to wear my trainers indoors because all my slippers are backless. I mostly wear trainers out and about but I’m not sure what I will wear when it’s hot. Has anyone got any recommendations for sandals with backs?

Just bumping as going down a google rabbit hole and found a pair for £300…

No recommendations I'm afraid, but I did spend a fair amount of time looking for sandals that met my own idiosyncratic criteria and some of the stuff I came across might work for you, depending on your appetite for (a) fisherman's sandals or (b) hippy/twee sandal/shoe hybrids:

Hopefully this post will at least get you some better suggestions.

I guess you could also try Skechers for mesh loafer style shoes. Not as airy as sandals but better than trainers. I still have a really nice Clarks pair from when they were briefly trendy, but don't like any of the current versions I've seen.

I really like those Clarks ones thank you, that’s along the lines of what I was thinking. I think from what the podiatrist said, they need to feel like they are supporting my heel and ankle so I guess I just need to try some on.
