Need a Good Rec

[ Edited ]

Hi.  I'm having a lot of trouble finding a comfortable sandal.  I just got a pair of Easy Spirits online and they are HORRIBLE!  Problem is my feet have gotten extremely sensitive.  The sandal has to be soft.  All over.  Most bands dig and cut into my skin so I need one wide flat band over my instep instead of many small straps.  The insole also has to be very cushy.  I also need about 1"-1.5" lift in the heel.  Can't do more than that or less.  Yikes I don't think such a sandal exists!  Help.

What size do you wear and how much do you want to spend?

Check out Born sandals, they are very comfortable.

@Deree   With all of your requirements, it would probably be best to go to a store where you could actually try the sandals on.

@lolakimono   I wear a 10W.  Willing to spend money except they would have to be 100% refundable.  

 

@Kachina624  Yes I know.  Problem is that won't be likely for a while.  I actually need these to wear in the house.  I can't go barefoot (or flats).

I was going to post Walking Cradles. I have been debating if I should buy these are not. I have 3 pairs of Walking Cradles. They are very comfy. The only problem is they don't have many styles I like.

Check 6pm first. They do have some Walking Cradles in stock.

@lolakimono  Appreciate your shopping for me lol.  The navy are a possibility but a little concerned about slipping out of them.  The silver/white would definitely be uncomfortable for me with that high back and ankle strap.  Not looking for style at all.  Just comfort.  

 

Do you have the navy?  Really looking for people's recs with personal experience who understand what I mean about softness and cushy-ness without straps digging into you.

I just finished checking umpteen sites for Skechers Desert Kiss which was listed as in the 10 top comfortable sandals.  Nothing in a 10W.
