It’s that time of year- let’s debate comfortable but not too hideous sandals!

[Anonymous]

How do people feel about these, specifically in the gold? I was actually looking for a much more minimalist sandal (not for walking) but came across these and thought of this thread. I wouldn't walk all day in these but they look reasonably supportive for some sightseeing without being hideous. Thoughts?

I shop brands I like: Seychelles, Birkenstock, Dolce Vita, Olukai, beek.

So no?

Are you dense? Look up the brands then find styles you like. Everyone doesn't like ankle straps. Some like slides, mules or flip flops. Universally, nobody likes the disgusting sandals you keep posting.

Tell me you're afraid people will call your sandal selections ugly without telling me you're afraid people will call your sandal selections ugly.

Still crying nobody likes your ugly shoes? Stay mad.

Why not just post a photo?

DP. You sound unhinged.

I think the Vejas are cute enough to wear with dresses, etc, but I'd say no to the other ones. Others may differ in opinion, though.

I agree. I think there’s an inverse relationship between comfort and cuteness.

Keens are amazing shoes though. Very functional. I have a closed toe sandal that most people find strange and ugly, but this one shoe works for water sports, hiking, and sightseeing if you have a lot of black in your wardrobe and are into Japanese minimalism. They won’t go with Tuckernuck dresses etc…

I can see the vibe. 20 years ago I had really similar ones made by Teva that were maybe a little more streamlined but they were the most comfortable, least sweaty summer shoe I ever wore. I could even wear them to work (I walk 3 miles on my commute so really need comfy shoes). When they discontinued them. I wished I had bought a case of them like a crazy lady.

I like them but people on this forum regularly tell me I have hideous taste and must be a hideous old frump, so you can discount my opinion if you like.

I would probably do the white or black but overall like them.

These are the most comfortable sandals ever and I get so many compliments plummets on them. You can wear them with a t-strap or without it.

Do you hang around 70 year olds? Nothing wrong with that but how old are you?

Those are 10000000% old lady shoes. I think we're being trolled on this one.

DCUM sandals in the wild.

OMG, that third one with the swollen ankles is particularly unattractive.

Wondering if anyone has any opinions on the 'sneakerina'. It seems sort of expensive to me and I wonder how good the support is:

The SAS has to be a joke. It’s what people in nursing homes wear. They make good shoes but fashionable they are not.

Honestly, none of these are my style but I wouldn't judge someone for wearing them. There are moms at my kid's school who wear stuff like this even though they are my age and while I don't think they are stylish, I'm not like pointing and laughing.

The third one does depress me because of the condition of her feet. My mom's feet have been like that for 30 years and I know it's so uncomfortable and embarrassing for her. She pretty much exclusively wears sneakers or Birkenstocks, and she will wear socks with her Birks because she doesn't want people looking at her feet. It sucks because she feels aesthetic embarrassment over it but it's also just practically and health wise not good -- limiting for mobility, bad for circulation, and for her has been associated with developing diabetes. Please have empathy for people who have bad feet, it is really hard.
