the annual shares and jeers summer sandal thread

[Anonymous]

Friends - for those who loved the old Dansko and Sanita sandals, Sanita has a pair out now that is JUST like those ones they stopped selling a decade ago:

I got them, wore them right out of the box to walk about six miles today. (I'm in Florida - it's warm here.) And I wish the front straps were adjustable - they're the slightest bit loose, but oh boy am I happy to have these shoes. I think these are going to be my workhorse shoes this summer.

I look forward to the posts to come telling me that my husband hates me and you are laughing. I don't care! I'm so happy about these sandals. I wish they came in some bright colors - yellow?? - so I could get those, too.

What sandals are you looking at this year - for walking, for travel, to horrify fellow DCUMers, to look pretty at dinner, whatever.

I like those! I don’t know that my husband has ever noticed my shoes in his entire life honestly.

Those look like something a 75 yr old woman who talks about "reading periodicals" a lot would wear as she bustles about town doing errands.

Those are old lady shoes. Seriously. How old are you, OP?

[Anonymous]

Anything but those.

Oh, girl, those are bad

Attractive women can get away with wearing garbage bags (and these shoes), while unattractive women won't.

I like them. I agree though that they should come in some colors besides black and brown. Even a lighter tan and a white would be fun, but I’m still chasing the huarache high I had when I was eight and had amazing white huaraches.

I no longer think in such reductive, binary terms. No one owes anyone else beauty or a particular look and no one needs to only where what they want if they’re sufficiently attractive.

I feel like this is 100% the answer to most fashion questions on this thread!

No. Just, no. Not remotely cute just functional.

Hahahahaa! I love them. Let the pearl clasping commence. Here’s my wishlist of horrors:

Most of theses are hideous (but comfy) looking, but that Cole Haas "Jitney" sandal is actually cute. I'd be curious how supportive they are. I might track them to see if I can find them on sale (they aren't cute enough for $160 IMO).

Rock on with your comfy sandals, OP! My comfy sandals are also my workhorses.

Agree, those look like they’d be good walking shoes for a trip or summer outing. But I think I’d wait for a sale too.
