I honestly don't think there are any super cute ones. The closest I ever found was these Robert Clergerie flat leather slides but they stopped making this style. I just stick to sneakers because I decided I hate dirty feet... |
What is your def - in inches - of low heel? |
Op here— less than 2”? I have foot problems that make higher heels really painful. That eliminates most sandals many would consider cute. Also, my feet get tired with slides although Birks are okay. So, no slides also rules out a lot of other sandals most people would consider cute! I think I’m kinda stuck with sandals that are lower, and have back straps. I think that automatically looks geriatric to some people, which kind of bums me out. I do wear sneakers sometimes but also want sandals. Thanks for all your suggestions… |
Merrel! I have sandspurs and others which are just a step above Birkenstocks. But super comfortable. |
I don't think Merrell sandspurs are a step above Birks in fashion. It's a shame they put the brand name on the back strap. Some dansko sandals aren't too bad and the ones I've had got me through miles and miles of walking Italian cobblestones: https://dansko.com/collections/womens-sandals Go low if you have weak ankles. Teva also sometimes has pretty leather sandals. I found some at REI a few years ago but a quick web search is only showing the sporty kinds. |
I really appreciate when someone comes on here and admits that some prior suggestions might not be totally worthless. I don't want to wear the Crocs from their earliest model, but they have some great models now that fit the bill of "being on your feet all afternoon." |
Yeah, they are not a step above Birks in fashion. They are at least a step below. |
When I hear crocs I of course picture the clogs that are hideous, but I checked tout their sandal options and I agree that there are winners there. OP I’d look into them! |
PPs be wrecking the sexiness of a sundress |
I've had some of the nicer wedge Croc sandals and have walked miles and miles in them. I am generally more comfortable in wedges than flats, though. YMMV. I've also had super comfortable fits with Skechers wedge sandals like some these (some are higher, some are lower): https://www.skechers.com/women/shoes/wedges/?campaigntype=brand&src=paidmedia&msclkid=c3c8e705d0881031667d812c83e30ae0&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing_US_Search_(B)rand_Category_Public_MKAG&utm_term=skechers%20wedge%20sandals&utm_content=skechers_sandals Their rubber wedge soles work great for my feet. Again, your feet may be different. |
My coworker has those. I have the Getaway. |
Those metallic block heels are hideous! |
I was just going to say my 83 YO mom keeps offering to buy me a pair because hers are so comfortable. |
And who would choose to "walk around all day" in heels as their go to summer comfort shoe? |
