Can I have your expert opinions on these sandals please

[bran]

Let me say from the off that I put comfort ahead of style but I don't want to look too sensible. Do you like these?

I have quite wide feet and a high instep. I already have some quite nice mules/slides but I need a pair of sandals that I can drive in. I have skin that rubs and blisters very easily so I need shoes to be adjustable so that they don't move around on my feet too much.

Should I buy them?

Campers are dead comfy and worth the price as they last years.

These are prob v comfy, too, but you need the right colour of skin to get away with red sandals IMO, otherwise your feet look blueish.

Are Campers good for a wide fit? I quite like these.

I have fairly wide feet, and a high instep, and haven't had any problems with Campers.

Where are you, bran? I noticed a new Campers shop last time I was in the UK, so there might be one near you...

The original ones are really awful, OP. Don't do it.

No, Camper aren't very wide (I am blessed with practically square feet with very high arches. I feel your pain).

these are wide fit and adjustable

so are these

and these are wide fit, but no buckles

I'm in East London AA, there is a shop that sells Camper in Greenwich which is quite nearby to me so I'll have a look there.

These are very cute too, not sure about the colour.

But Camper shop in Covent Garden and Westfield, so might be worth a try on

you won't regret it.

I like the duo ones best so far.
I loathe sandals with ankle straps tbh.

What about these from M&S. I think they're the ones I like best so far (although I still like my original pair even after being firmly told that they are not the thing ).

Yes, they are much much much nicer than op pair!

I like those bran , although the strap across the toes may be too tight

damn that camper don't do wide fitting sandals-there are loads I like on that site

Luciemule - I have these ones and they're sooooo comfy and look quite elegant on.

Camper, IME (I have small, wide feet with very high insteps and painful joints)are very comfortable, and the straps are soft and well positioned to avoid rubbing. They are def worth a try on, don't buy without trying them on.

In addition, what about Ecco?, they do a sandal - boullion, on their website, also sold by Shoon, but called something else that is very pretty and comfortable. Their fit is different from most brands, and should work for wider feet. www.shoon.com/womens_shoes/dress_sandals/015192-border.htm?browse=1

There was also a nice Rockport wedge sandal available in white and blue on shoon, that could also work?

sorry, no good at links!

thanks mountainmonkey - will defo buy them I think.

I like these (somewhat to my surprise) and these (nice for summer but not sandals)

I bought these M&S sandals and they are fab. Very comfortable, plenty of width without looking like wide shoes for hobbits. The only thing is I think I might have been better off buying in the brown mix as the pale one is a bit too close to my skin tone across the foot so it looks a bit as though I have a lumpy foot.

The only place they rub slightly is around the heel of one foot where my heel touches the raised edge of the foot bed, I might just put a stick-on cushion on the sole there.
