Hi all,
I'm in need of a pair of good, supportive walking sandals with adjustable velcro straps at the ankle and toe, a thick sole with a good grip and arch supports if possible.
I'm prepared to pay more for a good quality pair. I'm going on a sightseeing holiday to Italy in the autumn and I always find it's hot, so I want sandals that don't make my over pronated and osteoarthritic feet ache too much!
Recommendations welcome!

Merrell are always comfortable for me and I have walked lots of miles. I have also walked a lot in Karrimor sandals without any discomfort. If walking on rough terrain I wear merrell sports type shoe.

I've had Tevas and Keens before; both are good. My favourite were Teva leather Universal. They looked nice enough to wear with a dress, but comfy and supportive enough to walk all day.

Mine are Ecco. We walk a lot on holiday but mainly on promenades and flat ground because I was told to avoid uneven ground when I injured my knee. They are very comfy and look OK.
