Need comfortable sandals!!

CHOIRGIRL — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 21:45:06 GMT

Hey guys!
I am planning a trip in the fall and am on the hunt for some comfortable sandals for doing a lot of walking. I was looking at Ryka and Skechers. I welcome any suggestions. Tired of buying shoes that hurt my feet. Help!! Thanks.

Naots....worn in Europe on fierce hills and cobblestone streets.

"Tired of buying shoes that hurt my feet."

Start going to shoe stores so you can try on, walk around the store for a bit........

Try before you buy!

That being said.....

Nike

Reebok

Ryka

Skeechers Go Walks

are all very comfortable.

I appreciate your sore feet, @CHOIRGIRL .

Unfortunately, perfect sandals that work with the height of my arch, relative length of my toes, and widest point on my feet don't necessarily work for you.

Ryka and Clarke are out for me, just based on the shape of the bottom of their shoes.

Since you can't try them on first, I encourage you to look carefully at how your feet will work with each style. With shoes, it goes beyond just liking the looks of it.

New faves are Bzees. Also like Soft Spot and have a couple of Crocs that I love. Just rinse off after sand and dust gets on them. Crocs may be more casual than what you're looking for.

I bought a pair of Clark's Cloudsteppers last year and they are comfy--much more comfortable than the Ecco sandals I was wearing before that.

Oh, yes. Mine have to be waterproof, and fast drying.

I find I'm always watering my footwear along with the tomato plants.

My go to sandals are SAS brand. A little expensive but can where all day walking or standing. I actually where all winter too in the house because my feet feel great. Happy sandal hunting.

My current faves are Clarks Unstructured Un Karely Sun; they are fabulous!

Did you know that if you buy here at QVC, you can wear outside to test out any shoes?? Love that!

They're kind of pricey, but I love Mephisto "Helen" sandals. You get what you pay for & I still have & wear my 1st pair of Helens that I bought in 2005 when I lived in WA. I now live in the desert SW & I wear sandals probably 9 months out of the year.

I don't recommend open-toed sandals in Europe.

@CHOIRGIRL - Welcome to the forums!

I agree with @grandme about SAS. I wore these to Disney World when I was 7 months pregnant. I took two pairs, and that's all I wore. I thought I would not be able to be on my feet the whole day long, but I was - from early morning until late at night. My feet and my legs were fine!

I also like Birkenstocks (I've been hiking in these) and Clarks. But for serious walking and comfort, I would turn to SAS (stands for San Antonio Shoes and made there!).
