Need recommendations for comfortable sandals that do not rub or cause cuts

[schoolsoutforever]

Can anyone suggest a pair of sandals that definitively, from the start, don't cause cuts to the feet? Currently living with bleeding feet from leather type sliders, tried doc martens, crocs and various other options. I've kind of given up sandals this year but sweltering in my socks and trainers!

As a T1 diabetic I have to be really careful with my feet and always struggled with sandals until I discovered Skechers. I can honestly say that I haven't had a pair of sandals from them that rubbed in many, many years. Also, if you buy from QVC you get a 60 day money back guarantee, even if you've worn them. I believe that they have a discount for new users.

Croc sandals, not the clog style.

Hotter all the way. They have some great sales

I have two types of Tevas.

These. https://www.teva-eu.com/en/gb/women-sandals/hurricane-xlt3-sandal/1173671.html

Which I'm going to donate they are so uncomfortable. I agree the sole is ok comfy but the straps are awful.

And then these ones https://www.teva-eu.com/en/gb/women-sandals/terra-fi-5-universal-sandal/197634655765.html

Mine are slightly different colourway. They weren't instantly comfy I needed to find the fit with the straps that suit me. Originally bought them for Florida theme park holiday. Over the last two years they've carried me around four other holidays where there was a lot of walking and I've lived in them when not on holiday they are that comfy. The extra padding on the straps makes it.

Another vote for Moshulu. They are so comfortable. I have wide feet so struggle to find sandals that fit well.

Sketchers get my vote. Incredibly comfortable, and I’ve had mine for 4 years!

I have a pair of Hotter Tourist and they are incredibly comfortable from day one.

Another vote for Tevas. The original ones. They’re class.

I hope someone had recommended Shandals!

I was coming to recommend these! From the first wear they were comfortable and soft and I’ve worn them to walk miles and miles. I’ve had them a year now and was thinking of buying more colours.

Mephisto Helen. My first pair lasted 10 years and my second identical pair are going strong at 8 years. I live in them May-September every year. Really comfortable and can walk for miles in them.

I’ve got Ecco Offroad sandals that are incredibly comfortable (thicker, ergonomic soles that make sure that my PF doesn’t flare up) and some by Free Spirit (Frisco I think) that are flatter and lighter. Both are really comfortable, wear and walk all day. They do look like walking sandals though. I have some Clarks leather sandals that are more dressy and incredibly soft.

Fitflop Lulu ones are very comfy and for more rugged ones, the neo d hyker ones. Both I put straight on and walked a lot.

Hotter tourist sandals have been brilliant this week in Rome and Naples.

I always buy Karrimor walking sandals, really comfy and I can walk miles in them.

Clark’s. They have some pretty ones and are great on my blister prone feet.

I used to love Hotter Tourist as I need a wider fit but when it came to replace my old pair I discovered they have narrowed the footbed compared to my existing pair and they just aren't comfy any more. I've had to switch to Sketchers Go walks - like walking on clouds.

I got some Clarke’s leather sandals this year which are totally adjustable - my feet are very wide over the big toe joint so a lot simply won’t go on. I’ve walked miles in them without problems.
My actual ‘walking sandals’ are Merrells, again no problems.

like this but not this colour

I second this (FitFlip Gracie). I wear these for basically everything in summer and have never had a blister or foot pain.

This has changed my life. I used to have to carry several pairs of sandals that rubbed me in different places as I was the blister queen. This stuff is amazing and I can wear almost any sandals now. There's a purple Boots anti-chafe stick that quite good too but this one is the best. Only downside is that sand sticks to your feet when you're at the beach so you need to wipe it off and reapply.

These. The leather is so soft.

Sketchers are great and Hotters are soft as butter!

Thanks so much everyone. I went on holiday and didn't have a chance to check these out but am going to go through all the suggestions as soon as I'm back. Much appreciated!

I do tend to live in my Dr Martens kids size 4 sandals, but, after having a really bad blister caused by new walking boots a couple of months ago on a big toe that refused to heal, I bought a couple of pairs of Skechers “toe post with heel strap” sandals for my holidays.
Sods law of course, the blister healed before I went away but the sandals were the comfiest things on the planet.
