They look appropriate for your 68 yr old great aunt.

Liz Joy was just raving about these in a reel (her blog/instagram is purejoyhome and creater of Marea). She is stylish and lovely. She said she was in city, walked six miles in them, no blisters, and they were incredibly comfortable.

I think MIA has some platform sandals that look more current and fresh than the ones you posted:

From here, I like the white Kayci ones.

Olukai has some cute and comfortable leather sandals, but I wouldn't want to walk miles in them. The problem is most "supportive" sandals have an old-lady look to them (including the ones you posted, IMO).

I am bringing some white fashion sneakers, but I think my feet will get really hot on the days we're outside in hot humid weather so I want a sandal option. Completely agree on the old lady look. Trying to find the cutest old lady sandals I can, I guess....

I have Olukai flip flops and I love them; I will look at their other sandals as well.

Get a pair of slip-ons that are ventilated. I have a nude pair that I wore all over Disney last summer. They're super-comfy for walking, go with everything, and my feet never got hot. Mine are sold out but lots of similar options available if you search--these are just two examples.

Except that OP wants sandals, not sneakers.

Those have their own kind of cool, OP. The strappy metallic high heel is kind of played out, very Bachelor contestant looking, in my opinion. Go Full Granny and have a great vacation!!

Not an elevated heel but I posted these in another thread. I just bought the black soulmate ones:

NP - and I've been eyeing another pair of shoes from that brand. I'm glad to hear you like them! Have you had them for a while - have they held up through regular use all right?

I have a pair of wedge sandals from Dr. Scholls that are really comfy. I find that for me, a sandal is only good to wear for long periods if it has wider straps and a covered heel area.

What about birks? I wore my Gizehs all over Europe with dresses.

Many days I would start in sneakers and then want more air flow and would switch to the Gizehs. No issues with walking on streets/cobblestones/etc.

What about white fashion sneakers?

I'm looking for recommendations for a truly comfortable sandal I can wear on vacation while walking a lot. I want to be able to wear them with cute sundresses - if I wasn't going to be walking for miles I would wear high-end flip flops or a strappy sandal, but I need something more supportive but more attractive than my hiking sandals!

I need something more supportive than a purely flat sole, too - something with a bit of a rise at the heel.

These are one option I'm considering based on reviews: https://www.zappos.com/p/munro-pisces-platinum-lizard-print/product/8124241/color/672350?PID=7876402&AID=11554337&utm_source=Meredith+Corporation&splash=none&utm_medium=affiliate&cjevent=2b8de8dcf37911ed8237596b0a82b82a&utm_campaign=4522830&utm_term=7876402&utm_content=11554337&zap_placement=5545748%7Cn17df68c4ac654e84b1b779af584ea95a23%7C%7C1684193726292%7C

Any other suggestions?
