Must have been asked. Million times but flat, non-dowdy sandals that won’t shred my feet?

[sidneytweeney]

Desperate for recommendations, I’ve got some dr marten sandals that give me toe blisters, some Toms sandals that give me blisters on the soles of my feel- anything with a toe bar immediately hurts! Has anyone found a magic sandal?

Saltwater boardwalks. Most comfy sandal ever!

Birkenstocks

Fit flops - they do flat styles. Very comfortable

Gabor “Lanzarote”

these do look comfy thanks but looking for something prettier… maybe they don’t exist !

Can you post a picture of what you consider pretty? Then people can help find a comfy version

These are foot shredders for me. Had 2 pairs, wore them in and still couldn’t wear them for more than a couple of hours.

Tevas are the comfiest and most practical for me and somewhat trendy.

My fit flops also shredded my feet , I thought after a third summer I would have “broken them in” but here I am nursing blisters .

What was it about them?

Had mind for years and walk for hours in them every summer.

I find Ecco very comfortable, they are all quite plain this season though. I quite like this https://ie.ecco.com/product/ecco-flash/240873/61510 but even that is tending towards dowdy. Some seasons they have very cute kids' sandals which go up to size 6.5 usually so I can wear them, but this year even the kids' are quite dull.

Trying to… pics won’t load 😕

Tevas aren’t exactly pretty but they’re somewhat fashionable and very comfy/ practical.
failing that - have a look at Clark’s. They sometimes do more modern shapes that have arch support/ soft footbed etc.

Also here to recommend Teva

I love my saltwaters

Saltwaters are very flat with no support, aren’t they?

Fit flops

I love my birkies but 1/10 times they give me blisters. It’s a very big PITA

Teva Tirra travellers are quite nice and good to walk in. I wear them while walking miles on city breaks.

I bought two pairs of Birkenstocks with much hope and expectation. I found them so uncomfortable they were unwearable. The instep just seemed to be in the wrong place for my feet. I gave them away.

I tried the M&S fake version. Absolute bliss! Think they were only £30. Would recommend.

I got some Fitflop sandals from Vinted (they're pretty expensive new) and they are incredibly comfy - I can sightsee all day, the soles are really padded so you.dont get achy feet, there is arch support, absolutely no rubbing or blisters. Love them.

Saltwater Sandals

I have a pair of Tamaris flat gold sandals that I can walk miles in.

I love saltwaters. I had some prettier ones from New Look a few years ago, but haven’t seen any nice ones since!

Planning to try the thicker soled salties this year, or Fit Flops
