Take a look at these bad boys. They are by Balmain and would set you back between Β£800 and Β£1,100

Blondiescot, love the gold sandals!

I have some sliders with soles very similar to that pair on the right. Their definitely not expensive but by heck are they comfortable.

Poppyjo Sun 02-Jul-23 22:03:56

Fanny I will have two pairs please πŸ˜†. Wow

I reckon it depends if post sandals make ones feet uncomfortable. My gold Birks with posts are comfortable walkers with trousers or jeans.

I have those, along with silver, black crocodile affect, brown and matt black, so comfy and I can walk miles in them.

Envy here.

I only have gold, sparkly medium blue, and navy.

Indeed I walk miles in those sandals.

They are lovely but not sure how comfortable they'd behmm

I think the gold sandals are rather lovely but I also think they would be decidedly uncomfortable but may be wrong if the stretch between toes is rounded and pliable.

I think the gold sandals are wonderful.

Fantastic with pretty red nails and dark trousers/jeans.

I am so glad it's not just me GG!

I had begun to doubt that I had purchased the sandals in the first place.

Ditto, GG.

To compound things, I found the missing black sandals ( purchased from Otrium last year πŸ˜‰)
Only sfter I purchased replacement ones from Clarks.

I hang my head in shame. 😚

When sorting out my shoe cupboard I found a pair of black suede pixie boots still in their wrapping. I had ordered exactly the same pair a couple of weeks previous 🀣🀣

On the plus I am sorted if they discontinue them 😘

I don’t β€˜get’ them, they look like small fishing vessels to me.

That really made me laugh !

^However, I have managed to summon up enough energy to purchase two pairs of (absolutely unnecessary) pairs of shoes in the Clarks Outlet sale^.

Well done Marydoll!
Nothing like a new pair of shoes to cheer you up.
Some people like handbags, others head for the shoes πŸ₯ΏπŸ‘ πŸ‘‘πŸ‘’

Unfortunately I have both a shoe & handbag addiction, fortunately I have a husband who is understanding πŸ‘ πŸ‘‘πŸ‘›πŸ‘œπŸ₯Ώ

I have 3 pairs of adjustable Skechers sandals. I wear them all day every day and now my feet will not fit comfortably in any other footwear. It is one good thing about being 89 as nobody cares here about what I wear!! It is very hot here during the months til November. I go barefoot in the house. I have never been able to wear high heels and watching young women marching along in stilettos is amazing to me. They must have perfect balance.

How about either of these...

I really like those gold coloured ones.

To look at, they are quite nice, I admit - but as I can't bear even one toe post, my feet hurt just thinking about wearing them!

JaneJudge Sun 02-Jul-23 15:56:47

I love your new shoes Fanny smile

Mmm, yep they look just like an orthopaedic shoe I was given after foot surgery. At least it was free.

How about these? As worn by Angela Constance (Scottish Justice Minister confused)

Irregular Choice. They do some gorgeous shoes. I have a couple of pairs myself.

Thanks Gunday, the ones I bought from Clarks for Β£14 are exactly what I was looking for. They are now back up to Β£38 in the sale. I'm glad I didn't hesitate. However, I don't intend to walk far in them, they have been bought to go with certain dresses!
You have reminded me of two pairs of dressy Hotter shoes I had forgotten about.

LovesBach Sun 02-Jul-23 14:04:00

The high heeled toe post shoes must be produced for masochists. Ordinary flip flops eventually begin to hurt my feet, and the thought of a person's entire weight being thrown forward by the high heels -no!

Gundy Sun 02-Jul-23 13:51:22

For many years I’ve been buying Hotter shoes for work, since I had to do a lot of walking in the hospital. I find them very well constructed with arch support, widths to fit your size and styles that cater to older women.

Marydoll - look at Hotter online for your low heeled navy pumps. They have them!!
Cheers!

I love pumps. This shop in Barcelona is my heaven.
