Any ideas? I’ve tried hotter, Clark’s, moshula and none are altogether suitable. I am six and a half, wide fitting and definitely want leather!

I’m wearing cotton traders , and they are a bit clunky but very comfortable

Depends whether you are looking for comfort or more stylish ones. If it's comfort, Merrell sandals are very good, but Pavers also have a good selection.

I try to combine comfort and style and the best I’ve found are from a company called Lunar. Some shops sell them and they can be bought on line and also through Next.

I have a wide foot too. I agree with trying lunar, although I’ve only had the shoes. Pavers is also my go to.

Gabor

NotAGran55 Tue 29-Apr-25 12:41:26

FitFlop are very comfortable.

I like sketchers sandals

GrannyIvy Tue 29-Apr-25 12:59:39

I am a size 4 and wide. Try Gabor but not all their range comes in wide! Skechers are good. Maybe Hotter. Good luck I struggle to find comfortable ones🙈

My DD bought me Fatface sandals, they’re v ry comfortable, not completely flat. Very supportive.

Widerfit Shoes sell various styles of sandals.

If you have to wear orthotics, they do ones with removable insoles too so you can use your own (using Velcro).

I have a comfortable pair of Hotter sandals, They have velcro to the two pieces across the foot, so you can set that up to suit yourself. There is a buckle at the side to do up,They are strong and do not come undone at awkward times. They are also quite neutral colours.

Another vote for Skechers. I too have a broad foot.

Visgir1 Tue 29-Apr-25 13:34:32

Sketchers or Fitflops both fine for wider feet, just check the Reviews, for fit.
Gabor also have some lovely ones.
Sole Bliss as well though they are on the more expensive side.

Merrell, Mephisto, Birkenstock, Josef Seibel - leather, wide.

Of course vegan/ non-leather as well.

Esmay Tue 29-Apr-25 13:52:37

I'm not sure if they are leather,but I've found the pretty sandals from Yours absolutely bliss to wear .
I bought mine last year and bought extra pairs as they were so successful .
I've thrown out all my other sandals except a pair from Clarks .
I think that Hotter is another supplier of comfortable sandals.
My feet are wide ,my toes slightly deformed from dancing and my instep high .

Sketchers all the way, but they’re not leather.I live in Crocs as well, both the clog type and the open toed sandals, bliss.

Aveline Tue 29-Apr-25 14:27:04

Gabor, Rieker and Siebel? All comfy and well made

Churchview Tue 29-Apr-25 14:33:25

I have wide feet and bunions and live in Josef Seibel sandals all summer. I'm on my fourth pair of these which adjust with velcro across all three straps so you can fit them perfectly to your foot.

I meant to say - they also seem to perform the complete miracle of making my not very pretty feet look quite acceptable.

JamesandJon33 Tue 29-Apr-25 16:02:34

Try Josef Siebel. A little expensive but truly comfortable and hard wearing .

Flyflot every time.

Happygirl79 Wed 30-Apr-25 13:54:57

Gabor every time

Rieker sandles are really comfy

Jackacres Wed 30-Apr-25 14:03:26

Rieker shoes/sandles very comfy and I have wide feet.
