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 just off to get some slip in Skecher Sandals… 😊

After a lot of hit and miss over the years I found Rieker, leather and long-lasting - and very comfortable. But it has to be a personal process of trial and error. Wouldn't harm to give them a try!

I just got a pair of Karrimor Salina Sandal and have today walked into town and back again in them and no rubbing and very comfy. I got them half price too so think I may get them in another colour.

I buy Fitflop, can wear them all day without problems.

Ecco are great
Fatface also

Just a thought QVC sell lots of different brands of sandals. You can wear them a few week see if there any good, if not send them back for a refund.

Eileen Wed 30-Apr-25 15:22:57

Karrimor Antibes in lots of colours

Adesso sandals are all leather and great for wide feet. If you buy from QVC you get a 60 day money back guarantee and can wear them to make sure they are right. I get most of my shoes, trainers from them and it’s a great service.

Birkenstocks all the way. Have several pairs in various stages of usage. Just bought a new pair of clog type concrete grey sandals. Keeping them for best!

Riekers, like walking on a memory foam mattress, or Josef Siebel

Truffle43 Wed 30-Apr-25 16:02:30

Merell karrimore and Reiker for me.

Try looking at the van dal website. They do wider fitting shoes , boots and sandals . They are comfortable as well

I would not walk anywhere in anything but Teva sandals. I have been wearing them for decades. They are hard wearing and fully adjustable velcro straps

AuntieE Wed 30-Apr-25 16:17:35

ecco

And another vote for Skechers! I used to get plantar fasicitis (apologies for spelling) regularly until I started wearing Skechers shoes/sandals.

To add to the other two ladies who like Fitflops.
They’re wonderful if your feet ache. Pity they’re so expensive, but worth it as they last years.

whywhywhy Wed 30-Apr-25 16:43:32

I love hotter shoes

TerriBull Wed 30-Apr-25 16:47:47

Fitflops, I order them when they have an offer on, usually in the winter for summer wesr, you have to project yourself forward. I'm always on the look out for comfortable footwear that also looks ok.

Maria59 Wed 30-Apr-25 16:48:07

Another you could try is Marco Tozzi

HelterSkelter1 Wed 30-Apr-25 16:50:43

It does depend on what style you want. My friend has just bought some .fishermens sandals from Pavers. Not pretty but leather and she says very comfortable.

BlueSapphire Wed 30-Apr-25 16:56:01

Cotton Traders or Pavers are my favourites, as they do stylish and comfortable in a wide fitting.

Jackie61 Wed 30-Apr-25 16:59:18

I have 2 pairs of sandals from Damart and they’re very comfy.

vegansrock Wed 30-Apr-25 17:05:40

Fitflop are great really comfortable and supportive even the sliders. I usually buy a couple of pairs when they have a sale.

NotSpaghetti Wed 30-Apr-25 17:26:42

I love my Vionic Rest.
Didn't think I'd get on with them but they are great. They do leather and non-leather - Amber and Harissa.
My stipulation was that they were filly adjustable - lots of straps.

I also bought a pair of Karrimor "walking" sandals that are wide. They are also great.

I recommend vionic as a brand.

*when I said I didn't think I'd get on with them I meant the "gladiator " look!
