I have sensitive skin and sandal straps often cut the skin behind my ankle. But I do own pretty sandals for going out to dinner.

No. No you don't.

They have that weird old-person shape, weird grey lining, devoid of any style.

Agree with you. They look like assisted-living-outing shoes.

Outfits for those sandals:

I’d put them in the top half of shoes posted on this thread. But there are better black strappy sandals. The soles don’t match the top.

These are better:

The top ones don’t have any back strap—they are basically flip flops and terrible for your ankles and arches.
I feel like these threads are divided in two — the people who have plantar fasciitis or similar foot issues and those that don’t. For those of us in the former group, none of these sandals that you say are not ugly would work. And those of you in the latter category, if you want 5 miles a day in those sandals without arch support, you probably will end up with PF or something similar eventually.

I have vionics that don’t seem available anymore but are similar to this — I can only wear sandals that have adjustable straps, really.

Gen X does not now GAF (did we ever?), and Gen Z tends to be very sensible and non judgmental about shoes — they will mot look askance at a granny sandal if it is functional and works for you. I have told my daughters that if their generation’s contribution to feminism is to normalize comfortable footwear for women, that will be a job well done.

I'm an X'r, and I give enough of a f that I wouldn't wear the horrifically ugly shoes plastered all over this thread.
