[quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree. My main issue with this thread is all the people who seem to think that a sandal that offers ANY support in the form of a thicker sole, molded foot bed, or thicker straps is de facto "ugly". Like the only way to have a cute sandal is for it to have a really thin sole, or for the straps to be thin and non-existent, or for it to have a heel.

This attitude strikes me as very old fashion, and reminds me of certain attitudes on women appearances in the 90s and early 00s -- tight, restrictive clothing designed to show off your body, push up bras (the Victorias Secret era), high heels, hair had to be smooth and straight at all times, thongs and very minimal swimsuits and underwear gave rise to the expectation that women would remove basically all of their body hair, etc.

Modern fashion is less misogynist and actual factors in womens comfort and preferences, plus inclusive of disabilities, different body types, etc. Fashionable shoes now include supportive sneakers, sport sandals, Birkentsocks. Fashionable clothes can include items that are size inclusive and comfortable, not just tight, low-cut items designed to be alluring to straight men and only straight men.[/quote]

I mean, maybe for some people that is the case.  Personally, I no longer wear heels and like sandals to be comfortable.  However, that being said, many of the sandals posted here were, in my view, both unattractive and expensive.  I don't think that opinion renders me a tool of the patriarchy, but YMMV.  I have some Naots that I am happy with, and a pair of Naturalizer flat sandals that I am happy with as well.  [/quote]
