| Could work depending on what you wear with them. Maxi dress, yes. Jorts, no. |
|
If you are the same age as my MIL and shop at Coldwater Creek, than yes the shoes are fine. Otherwise, keep looking
...preferably anything without "dr. scholls" in the name. |

OP here. Okay, I'm getting mixed reactions. For those who say no, what are you wearing this summer? Show me some sandals you like... and yes, they have to be low heeled and potentially *gasp* comfortable.
TIA very much!!! |
| What look are you going for? You simply want comfortable shoes? Where are you going? What are you doing? BTW, I am the one that made the rude comment about the perm! I am a firm believer that you cannot give up! Sorry OP, didn't mean to be awful, I am trying to age gracefully myself. Now tell me about these shoes you are looking for and I will go searching! |
I am 44. I am a Kindergarten teacher. I am not giving up... and I don't know what you're talking about when you say that. I look much younger than my age (so people say) and I take care of myself. No fanny packs, mom jeans, or perms here. I need comfortable shoes for my non-glamorous life. I walk everywhere. I'm doing camp this summer, but for that, I'm *gasp* wearing Keens, simply to keep my toenails intact among hordes of children. The sandals I'm looking for would be worn mostly with jeans. Strictly casual. |

Merrell's are super comfortable and cute -

If you are working at a camp than I probably wouldn't wear sandals. Aren't you chasing kids around? And you want to protect your toe nails you said? I'd ho with sneakers. |

Okay, look here www.bornshoes.com
There are some pricey shoes and some in the price range of the shoes that you originally posted. But I think these are better. And they are ALL supposed to be comfortable!!! (I am the mean poster BTW and I think I am going to get some of these for myself). Sorry if I offended you. Good night and bless you teaching those kiddos! |
OP here. These would not be worn at camp. The sandals would be worn during the rest of my life. |
I don't need your blessing, but thank you anyway. I'm familiar with Born and actually have some. They are not much different than the Dr. Scholl's line. |

I like these more. The shoes in your OP look orthopedic. However, since you've seen them IRL and we have not, they might look cute on. |
| Just trying to point you in the right direction away from your horrible taste in shoes. I actually would never wear Born myself. A little too "country" for my taste. But I think you may actually be giving up if you were seriously considering that horrible pair of shoes you originally posted! |
NP. See, IMO, these are "butt" and look dated to me. Plus they're more than twice the price. These have a Melissa Etheridge vibe whereas the others have a cute hipster vibe to me. The sole on the first ones is much better. |
| Those shoes are completely hideous. Sorry. |
Too "country"? Aren't they Scandinavian? |
