Curious if everyone thinks they are terrible?!

IMO, this is one of the most reasonable suggestions I have seen for sandals on DCUM so far.


I think I would like them better if there was only one strap in front. More like this? But I don’t like the Velcro on the front of this one.

These are also ugly as hell!

just posted a different pikolinos model. Pikolinos are super comfortable right out of the box and lovely.

I like pikolinos and Clark’s sandals, prefer a bit padding in sandals:

So, of course you added pictures of much better options that fit the OP’s requirements. Oh, wait…!


The issue is that we don’t post pics because there is nothing that meets the OP’s demands of a cute but orthopedic shoe.

The larger issue is why every single forty something on dcum thinks they need an orthopedic shoe to walk around for an hour on “cobblestone” streets. Let’s be honest that these women aren’t spending eight hours on their feet on the back roads of Italy. They’re going to spend a brief stint on the very well maintained streets of Rome and shouldn’t need orthopedic shoes for that.

But cue every poster on this thread who’s going to say no that they really are the 45 year old who has 19 different issues with their feet.


You just to troll shoe threads.

They have a few decent-looking (to me) models and all are comfortable.
