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!

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

Merell karrimore and Reiker for me.

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

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!

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.

Karrimor Antibes in lots of colours

Katyj Wed 30-Apr-25 15:21:20

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.

Ecco are great
Fatface also

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

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.

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’m just off to get some slip in Skecher Sandals… 😊

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

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

Jackacres Wed 30-Apr-25 14:02:41

Rieker sandles are really comfy

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

Gabor every time

Quizzer Wed 30-Apr-25 13:48:40

Flyflot every time.

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

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

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.

Gabor, Rieker and Siebel? All comfy and well made

Oreo Tue 29-Apr-25 13:55:02

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.

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 .

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

Of course vegan/ non-leather as well.

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.

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