I have been suffering during the heat as my toes have arthritis and trying to find a pair of comfy sandals is a mission.
My feet are very broad with bunions on both. My balance not good so i need a sturdy pair otherwise i feel unstable.Can anyone else recommend a good pair please.

I like Sketchers for comfort type sandals.Have a look at their range.

Hotter Shoes have great shoes and 70% off!

I've got a bunion on my right foot. My toe is at such an extreme angle that if I wear sandals it looks as though I haven't got one. I do need to find some sandals though as I'm getting all sorts of fungus problems from wearing crocs and trainers. My old walking sandals, which I used to live in, hurt my feet now.

Merrell walking sandles are really wide and comfy a bit pricey but bought last year and I wore them a lot the still look good and very little ware on soles

Pavers had some in last week but I don’t know the brand, sorry.

Amazon has a really good selection, but of course, its no good if you need to try on.

They have a lot of pavers sandals, and they get good reviews.

Maybe Cosyfeet would have something suitable. A lady I knew used to have problems with her feet and she often bought from them. They are not cheap but they do have a sale on.

Keen sandals are so comfy and last very well

I've got Merrell walking sandals I bought years and years ago and they're very comfy and wear well.

I recently bought these, they are so comfy - thick sole and I wear the strap on the top loosely because I am waiting for surgery and anything pressing on the top of my foot hurts.

I bought Rieker Antistress from Amazon, as I have arthritis and a bunion, and they are so very comfortable and stylish too.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Aug-26 10:17:36

I've spent a lot of hours checking out comfy sandals, as my feet swell, a little, a lot, on the top, underneath even, at times, and it varies every day.
I still havent got any, becausr its much more helpful to hear "straight from the horses mouth", as it were.

NotSpaghetti Sun 16-Aug-26 10:22:17

Bionic have styles which have three adjustable straps across the front (which accommodate my arthritis) and a comfy footed and a backstrap too.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Aug-26 10:28:04

Ah, i need straps so that i can adjust them according to how my feet are on any given day, or even during the day.
Plus my legs aren't very "bendy" these days, so I often can't assume the position needed to alter straps for too long.

I recently bought some sandals from Mountain Warehouse and they are really comfortable even with bare feet.

Contraryme Sun 16-Aug-26 10:39:55

Try DB wider fit shoes, they have many different styles, they are not cheap and have to be ordered on line but they are so comfortable.

Hope the link works but these Skechers are my second pair, so comfortable. Adjustable straps as my feet swell in the heat.

MissAdventure Sun 16-Aug-26 10:49:28

The strange thing is, my legs certainly aren't the most swollen I've ever seen by a country mile, but I just can't get the straps to go over.

Online, in the end, I found myself looking at shoes that literally opened out and folded completely flat, and you kind of built them around your foot.

I'm no fashionista, but blimey...

MissAdventure Sun 16-Aug-26 10:50:29

By legs, I mean feet. smile

MissAdventure Sun 16-Aug-26 10:54:48

Thanks ladies.
Hello Isummer hope you're doing ok.
Nice to see you.

Now we need some bunion people's input to help travelsafar

Try Naot sandals. They are expensive but very comfortable.

I have wide and now swollen feet so recently found Pavers Wide Fit sandals which are a real blessing. Highly recommend.

Just realised this has been corrected to "Bionic" - should be Vionic
Apologies!

(Though I might be interested in bionic ones, actually!) grin
